I think it points very much to the fact that people who work at ad agencies
are more aware of what is going on in music than the 'average' consumer. The
strict formatting of American radio doesn't make it very likely that
anything even remotely adventurous will enter people's consciousness that
way.
Now, if the artists featured in the ads had enough clout to demand that
there be a track/title listing in the ad's fine print, I think we'd see some
of them increase sales substantially.
