What kind of music is pop?

    Discover the answer to these questions and more as we explore the world of pop music – from the history of pop to the various pop subgenres – below. Plus, we’ll fill you in about our extensive catalogue of pop background music.

    What Is Pop Music?

    Fundamentally speaking, pop music is music that sells. And although the taste of the masses differs from generation to generation, there are key similarities between the songs that make it big in the charts and are subsequently categorised as pop songs.

    Pop music is catchy, instantly likeable and easy on the ear. Customarily, it follows the classic verse-chorus structure we’re all very familiar with, features memorable lyrics that are constantly repeated and is usually around 3-4 minutes long. And more often than not, it features an upbeat rhythm that makes the listener want to dance.

    Is Pop a Genre?

    Yes, pop is a genre. Although it may seem as though no artist truly belongs under the pop umbrella, many well-known artists create pop music that adopts traits of the genres they root from. An artist’s shift to pop music usually occurs when they reach the apex of their career - just look at the trajectory of Abel Tesfaye, AKA The Weeknd.

    Tesfaye was once a gritty R&B artist who released music on YouTube to help him express his emotions. His first three mixtapes – now known as The Trilogy – were filled with dark, moody and unpredictable songs that attracted a niche audience. Making music helped the artist through dark times, and his eerie, macabre beats and lyrics reminded others like him that they weren’t alone.

    Now, Tesfaye – who’s in a much better place in his life and is reportedly worth $100 million – creates pop music sprinkled with R&B flavour (think Blinding Lights, I Feel It Coming and Save Your Tears). His new music is now so prevalent that he was picked to be this year’s halftime Super Bowl performer; if that isn’t a testament to his pop star status, we don’t know what is.

    The History of Pop Music

    The origin of pop music is rooted in the history of another genre: rock ‘n’ roll. After the post-war era of the 1940s passed by like a grey cloud, the sun finally came out – and so did the American teens. One of these teenagers was espoused by the music industry to create music for the masses – his name was Elvis Presley. Mr Presley’s career marked the beginning of ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll.

    Radio stations played rock ‘n’ roll music for the youngsters living their best lives – it was the most popular music around. Soon, the culture caught on and countries across the world were engaging with the American genre. But during the 1960s, British Rock ‘n’ Roll became the next biggest thing. This is largely credited to the success of The Beatles.

    During the 1960s, the terms pop music and rock music became ubiquitous. Each encapsulated a certain aspect of rock ‘n’ roll – it was as though the genre was suddenly split into two. Pop described the bright, effervescent and commercial music that was enjoyed by people of all ages and rock described the rock ‘n’ roll music with bona fide sensibility.

    As soon as the 1970s hit, rock ‘n’ roll music became all but extinct in its original form and the two evolutions of the genre – pop and rock music – took over.

    What Are the Subgenres of Pop?

    Pop music often contains elements of other music genres – similar to Marvel films are often being inspired by other film genres but still under the superhero film label. Here we take you through some of the most intriguing pop subgenres.

    Art Pop Genre

    Art pop is considered the pop art of the music world, it blurs the lines between low and high culture to create music that’s both critically and commercially acclaimed. It's weighty, expressive and imbued with emotion.

    Singers commonly associated with art pop include David Bowie, Kate Bush, Björk, Grimes and FKA Twigs. Bearing all of this in mind, we feel like it's safe to say the subgenre is led by the trailblazers of the industry.

    Bubblegum Pop Genre

    Bubblegum pop is everything art pop music isn’t: artificial, addictive and fun-loving. Always upbeat, bubblegum pop songs rely on the younger demographics to be sucked up into their catchy, infectious flows; often, this kind of music is created by one-hit wonders. Bubblegum pop songs of the 21st Century include Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen, Grace Kelly by MIKA and Friday by Rebecca Black.

    Bubblegum pop is one of the purest forms of pop because it's incomparable to other genres – it purely exists to be catchy, popular and enjoyed by the masses.

    Anti-Pop Genre

    Anti-pop is the cool cousin of the pop family; it’s the popular music that doesn’t rely on gimmicks and structures, created by artists that refuse to be labelled pop stars. Usually, anti-pop music isn’t created for bars, nightclubs and festivals, it’s created for more personal settings – say your car or your home. It's music you can listen to on your own. Albums that have been dubbed anti-pop include Rihanna’s ANTI (we guess it makes sense), Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and Lily Allen’s Alright, Still.

    City Pop Genre

    Born in Japan during the 1970s, city pop carries urban and oriental idiosyncrasies that distinguish it from the other subgenres. It’s pop music redolent of city set animes, late-night drives and neo-retro technology; it’s the sound of a pink summer sunset. Commonly, city pop takes inspiration from other feel-good genres, including funk, disco, Latin, jazz, soft rock and Caribbean.

    Thanks to the recent spike in interest in anime and the western world’s sudden obsession with Japanese culture as a whole, city pop is making waves once more. 70s popstar Mariya Takeuchi is commonly said to be the quintessential singer of the genre, and her songs such as Plastic Love, Once Again and September are trending.

    Take a deep dive into the history of Japanese music in our comprehensive article.

    K-Pop Genre

    K-pop is pop music that comes from a specific location: South Korea. Many K-Pop artists are part of large groups, usually girl bands and boy bands, and their songs often feature a mix of English and Korean lyrics. Accordingly, they have a worldwide following.

    K-Pop – inspired by the likes of jazz, hip hop, country, R&B and reggae – is currently hugely popular because it’s sprightly, cool and complements the world of social media. Plus, fans love the fact that K-pop performances are a visual feast that consist of awe-inspiring sets, sleek choreography and impressive vocals. Currently paving the way for a new era of K-Pop are two bands: Blackpink and BTS.

    Latin Pop Genre

    It’s easy to get one’s head around Latin Pop, all you need to know is that it adopts the foundations of Latin American music to create viral tracks that are streamed and purchased worldwide.

    Latin American artists usually sing Latin pop in both (Spanish or Portuguese) and English, which makes the tracks more accessible for a foreign audience, and therefore more commercial. Additionally, the music follows the verse-chorus structure that western audiences are accustomed to and features a more upbeat rhythm that's typically associated with Latin culture. The most popular Latin pop artists in the world right now are J Balvin, Bad Bunny and Maluma.

    Indie Pop Genre

    Indie pop takes its cues from indie rock music and creates tracks that are suitable for mainstream audiences and radio stations. The term indie stands for independent which highlights the DIY element of the subgenre.

    What does independent pop mean? Essentially, it means the music sounds raw and it doesn’t sound as though it’s been meddled with during post-production.

    Artists commonly associated with the genre include Florence and the Machine, HAIM, Lana Del Rey and The 1975.

    Electro Pop Genre

    Electro pop, also known as synth-pop, is a subgenre of pop music inspired by electronic music and brimming with electronic sounds.

    Commonly associated with the 1980s and early 2000s, electro pop floats in and out of the mainstream and is embraced by artists at different points in their careers. Everyone from Lady Gaga to The Human League to Billie Eilish has been labelled an ‘electro pop artist’ by the media, simply because a part of their discography relies on electronic beats and instruments.

    Country Pop Genre

    Speaking of Lady Gaga, the multi-award-winning singer-cum-actress has also tried her hand at another pop subgenre: country pop. Needless to say, country pop waters down country music to make it approachable and appealing to millions worldwide. This is evident when listening to Gaga’s album Joanne.

    But Gaga isn’t the only artist fusing country music into her pop music. Country pop is also the best term to describe Taylor Swift’s Red and Miley Cyrus’ Younger Now. By embracing their country roots, each of these women has been able to produce popular albums and subsequently sell out arenas and produce capital for their record labels.

    Europop Genre

    Inspired by 20th Century Europe, Europop describes the camp, sickly-sweet, dance and trance category of pop music. Fittingly, it’s the kind of music we expect to hear each year at Eurovision.

    According to Spotify’s official playlist, Europop is practically synonymous with cheesy music. Featured on the playlist are songs such as Aqua’s Barbie Girl, Atomic Kitten’s The Tide is High and Rednex’s Cotton Eye Joe.

    BEST ORCHESTRAL MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS

      What makes a good orchestral movie soundtrack? It’s got to be whimsical enough to sweep the audience off their feet and into the world of cinema; striking enough to keep them focused on the narrative, and unique enough to give the movie its own identity. It’s no wonder live orchestra movies have become so popular, allowing audiences to experience these soundtracks in an even more immersive way.

      Essentially, it must be on par with the likes of John Williams’s Star Wars, or Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer’s Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

      In assembling your soundtrack, it’s crucial to consider the sound world you’re looking to create – which is naturally dictated by your story and its genre(s). Here at Audio Network, we’ve got orchestral playlists of all kinds, including orchestral adventure, epic orchestral, dramatic orchestral and more.

      Join us as we take a look at some of the best orchestral movie soundtracks of the last four decades – as well as the greatest recent releases.

        • The Mythos Collection (2019)
        • The Classical Collection (2019)

      Best Orchestral Movie Soundtracks of the 80s

      Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

      Raiders of the Lost Ark has everything you could possibly want in a blockbuster: action, adventure, romance, humour, awe-inspiring sets, impressive costumes and – last but definitely not least – a soul-stirring soundtrack from one of our musical heroes, John Williams.

      Never before has an orchestra sounded so swashbuckling.

      Ghostbusters (1984)

      Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters is one of the greatest blockbusters of all time, and its orchestral soundtrack is equally epic.

      Composed by Elmer Bernstein, it’s a cocktail of sounds inspired by horror, sci-fi, action and comedy. Sounds messy and we know it shouldn’t work, but it does.

      Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

      Robert Zemeckis’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit (based on Gary K Wolf’s novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit?) combines animation and live-action to create a completely eccentric viewing experience.

      Composer Alan Silvestri was hired to produce a soundtrack that convinced audiences of this collision of worlds and aptly, the music is both gritty and cartoonish.

      Best Orchestral Movie Soundtracks of the 90s

      Edward Scissorhands (1990)

      With Tim Burton and Danny Elfman on the case, you just knew Edward Scissorhands would be impressive.

      Elfman amplified the film’s surreal message by layering angelic vocals over charming strings – and a ridiculously endearing horn section.

      Schindler’s List (1993)

      Steven Spielberg and John Williams proved their multifaceted talents when they created the sombre WW2 drama Schindler’s List (quite a departure from their previous collabs like E.T. and Indiana Jones).

      Williams’s score is so emotional and thought-provoking it gives the listener goosebumps. A testament to the power of music.

      Forrest Gump (1994)

      Forrest Gump is a favourite worldwide, and in the music industry, Alan Silvestri’s soundtrack is regarded as one of the best.

      It’s truly mesmerising – especially the main theme, a piano-led track that represents the sound of an old friend who returns to restores purpose to life – who, of course, is the eponymous anti hero.

      Best Orchestral Movie Soundtracks of the 00s

      Shrek (2001)

      Everyone is familiar with the Shrek franchise and the instantly recognisable soundtrack by Harry Gregson-Williams and John Powell, but we’d like to take a moment to highlight our favourite song: ‘Fairytale.’

      This immersive piece does exactly what it says on the tin: turns the story of a big green ogre into a beautiful fairytale.

      Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001)

      Contemporary orchestral movie soundtracks are often measured against John Williams magical score for Warner Bros’ Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – few others come close.

      What makes it so special? In short, every bewitching song – including the iconic ‘Hedwig’s There’ – intensifies the adventure and transports you to JK Rowling’s world of witches and wizards.

      Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

      Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl blew us away when it was released back in 2003.

      That said, we weren’t surprised that German composers Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer knocked it out of the park with their collaboration.

      Each piece is as swashbuckling as the next – but our favourite has to be ‘Captain Jack.’

      Best Orchestral Movie Soundtracks of the 10s

      Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

      The original Star Wars was back with a bang in 2015 thanks to JJ Abrams – and John Williams, who created the music for all the films in the saga.

      This one is particularly hard to fault, as it’s a fittingly perfect balance of familiar and fresh.

      One of the most original tracks is ‘Rey’s Theme’, which encapsulates the heart and spirit of the lead character.

      Lady Bird (2017)

      Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird is warm, real and sincere, and John Brion’s orchestral soundtrack intuitively reflects these themes.

      There are spirited woodwinds, gentle piano riffs, tender strings and heavy brass – essentially, it captures the teenage experience.

      Avengers: Endgame (2019)

      Avengers: Endgame is one of the most-watched films of all time, which means you’ve very likely heard Alan Silvestri’s breathtaking soundtrack.

      The film features space and time travel, no less than 36 superheroes, and we can’t even begin to work how many plot lines.

      Somehow, Silvestri’s soundtrack ties the whole thing together. Perhaps this makes him the ultimate superhero?

      Best Orchestral Movie Soundtracks of the 20s

      Minari (2020)

      Indie entertainment company A24 is unstoppable and their latest flick, Minari, was nominated for six Academy Awards (and scooped one for Best Supporting Actress).

      It was also tipped for Best Original Score. Emile Mosseri’s soulful, sentimental soundtrack perfectly complements Lee Isaac Chung’s story about a Korean-American family creating a new life in rural Arkansas.

      Soul (2020)

      Pixar director Pete Docter created some of our favourite animations ever, including Up, Inside Out and Monsters Inc.

      Fortunately for us, his latest, Soul, is just as impressive and emotional. Here, Docter enlisted the help of Tret Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste to produce a soundtrack that combines jazz with ethereal orchestral elements.

      Tenet (2020)

      Christopher Nolan teamed up with movie music’s man-of-the-moment, Ludwig Göransson, to ensure his latest action-packed flick sounds just as wondrous as it looks.

      Tenet’s orchestral soundtrack is thrilling, fast-paced and aptly filled with big moments.

      Some of Our Best Orchestral Soundtracks

      Sitara: Let Girls Dream (2019)

      Oscar-winning director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy created Sitara: Let Girls Dream, a computer-animated short film, in 2019.

      Distributed on Netflix, the film highlights the issue of child marriage (especially in Pakistan) to a mainstream audience. The director steered away from dialogue and used music to tell the story, with the help of Grammy-winning composer Laura Karpman.

      Watch the video below to see how we helped bring Sitara: Let Girls Dream to life at Abbey Road Studios.

      The Mythos Collection (2019)

      In 2017, Stephen Fry celebrated the release of his book, Mythos, with a launch party.

      One of the guests was composer Debbie Wiseman OBE, who then pitched translating Fry’s retellings of Ancient Greek myths into a collection of songs.

      Soon, the two joined Audio Network to record a collection of Mythos songs with an 80-piece orchestra.

      The Classical Collection (2019)

      Our collection of classical, orchestral tracks are majestic and wouldn’t sound out of place in a golden age Hollywood flick or an opera.

      Tracks such as Romeo and Juliet, Swift Animals, Carnival Finale and Moonlight Sonata tell a story, which is why they're commonly paired with scenes featuring little or no dialogue. Interested? Explore our classical collection.

      THE ‘JE NE SAIS QUOI’ OF RENAULT ADS

        There’s a certain sense of je ne sais quoi to every Renault ad, a special something that makes each of the French manufacturer’s commercials memorable.

        From the iconic ‘Papa and Nicole’ ads of the 1990s to their recently released ‘Leaving the Nest’ ad, we take a look at some of our favourite Renault ads from across the years – one of which features music from our catalogue.

        Used by creatives worldwide, our ever-expanding catalogue is brimming with thousands of tracks that are licensable to be used in adverts, TV shows, films, podcasts and more. To start exploring Audio Network, visit our search bar that you can use to find the song for you via filtered browsing. Choose to search by mood/emotion, instrumentation, production genre or musical style.

        The Best Renault Ads

        Renault New Ad – ‘ZOE E-Tech – Leaving The Nest’

        Renault’s 2021 commercial, ‘Leaving The Nest’, tells a sincere story of a young man leaving home to begin a new life, presumably at university. Just before the son leaves, his father gifts him with a ZOE E-tech – Renault’s brand-new 100% electric car – and helps him load the car with necessities. Subsequently, the son drives away from his rural village and his parents and begins exploring new destinations with new friends. At the end of the ad, the son discovers a Polaroid of him, his mother and his father tucked into the sun visor which has a handwritten message on its rear. It reads, ‘Home is less than 395km away x’. It’s the definition of heartwarming.

        What Is the Song from Renault’s New Ad?

        Tom Rosenthal’s emotional track 'Go Solo' ramps up the emotions of ‘Leaving The Nest’s already-emotive plot, creating a hugely moving ad. Take a look at more tracks from Tom in our catalogue over on his dedicated page.

        Renault Duster Ad – ‘Another One Drives A Duster’

        You may not be aware of this, but Dacia is actually a Renault subsidiary, which explains why their ads are always top-notch. Undeniably, the most famous ad to come from Dacia is ‘Another One Drives A Duster’ – an ad that puts music at its core.

        The 2016 ad focuses on a family driving across Europe in a Dacia Duster. As they travel, members of the public – from a tailor to a hunter – sing ‘another one drivers a Duster’ to the rhythm of Queen’s ‘Another One Bites the Dust’. For many, including us, the song is now indivisible with the car model. To us, that makes it an extremely effective piece of marketing.

        What Is the Song from Renault’s Duster Ad?

        As we mentioned, the genius in Renault’s 2016 Duster ad lies in its use of Queen’s ‘Another One Bites the Dust’. To listen to more rock music tracks, take a look at our rock production music playlist.

        Renault Clio Ad – ‘30 Years In The Making’

        One of the most impactful Renault ads ever released is ‘30 Years In The Making’, released for the Renault Clio’s 30th anniversary. The ad focuses on two female childhood friends, one British and one French, who become lovers during adulthood. Obviously, the story features a Renault Clio during the most pivotal moments. The moral of the story? Life is complicated enough, so make sure you purchase a car, like a Clio, that you can trust in.

        What Is the Song from the Renault Clio Ad?

        Many will recognise the song in Renault Clio’s ad as Oasis’ 1995 hit ‘Wonderwall’, but not the vocalist. Who is she? She is singer and songwriter Rahel Debebe–Dessalagne. Not only does Debebe-Dessalagne bring a whole new depth to a super-popular song, but she also helps Renault accentuate the emotions of the plot. To listen to more emotional songs, visit our reflective music collection page.

        Renault Clio Ad – ‘Celebrity Neighbourhood’

        One of the most popular Renault ads in history is the ‘Celebrity Neighbourhood’ commercial. As a group of tourists explore a variety of Hollywood homes, the stars showcase their flashy sports cars on their drives. However, it turns out that these cars are just for show, because as soon as the tour cart disappears, the celebs reveal their everyday cars: Renault Clios.

        What Type of Music Plays in Renault’s Hollywood Ad?

        The composition that plays in the ad feels perfect for its Hollywood setting: it’s buoyant, sunny and effervescent. It brings the whole commercial to life and, somehow, makes it more comedic. Discover similar tracks over at our happy background music page.

        Renault Captur Ad – ‘Your Choice, Your CAPTUR’

        The ‘Your Choice, Your CAPTUR’ ad showcases Renault’s ‘compact SUV for every adventure’ in a way that’s upbeat and extremely easy to watch. It’s a commercial that demonstrates how the Captur is easily incorporated into any stylish couple’s life – no matter their interests.

        What Is the Song from the Renault Captur Ad?

        The use of a Bee Gees’ ‘To Love Somebody’ cover version complements the advert's love story. Do you have an affinity for the 60s? If so, take a look at our super groovy 1960s playlist.

          The theme song to your favourite television show will stay with you forever. But why do industry insiders make theme tunes so catchy?

          Theme songs are a memorable form of marketing. Once an audience member becomes a fan of a TV show, they’ll feel a sense of nostalgia every time they remember the tune – even if it’s been decades since they last watched the show. Often, this can lead to fans streaming, purchasing and downloading episodes, and, on occasion, can lead to new seasons, spin-offs and reboots. Needless to say, this puts more money into the pockets of production companies.

          We’ve put together a list of the best TV theme songs of all time - keep reading to find out if your favourite tunes have made the cut…

          And if you’re looking for a production track for your TV show, read all about music for TV shows and our extensive array of background music.

          Best TV Theme Songs: Top 50

          Best 60s TV Theme Songs

          The Flintstones (1960 – 1966)

          Hanna-Barbera’s The Flintstones is a lovable Stone Age-set animated sit-com – appropriate for the whole family – that debuted on ABC in 1960. Familiar with the show? Of course you are! Which also means you’re familiar with the jocund, cheery theme tune that deserves a place on our Best TV theme songs list.

          Doctor Who (1963 – Present)

          Doctor Who is one of BBC’s biggest success stories. The TV show, which focuses on an alien space and time traveller, has been enjoyed by audiences over the decades, and one reason viewers continuously return to the show is to listen to the iconic theme tune. Sure, it’s been chopped and changed over the years, but the crucial sci-fi elements remain.

          The Addams Family (1964-1966)

          Everyone knows the gothic-yet-friendly theme song to the original The Addams Family show – you know, the one with the clicking. Not only is it extremely catchy, but it’s also a great track to listen to around October time to get you in the mood for the spooky season.

          Scooby-Doo, Where are You! (1969 – 1970)

          There’s been more iterations of Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo than we can count on two hands, but what was the original? The first TV show to officially introduce the Mystery Inc gang was titled Scooby-Doo, Where are You! and was released in 1969. Which explains the Woodstock vibe of the OG theme tune.

          The Brady Bunch (1969 – 1974)

          Just like The Brady Bunch, the theme tune to the late-sixties show is practically perfect. Originally sung by sunshine pop band Peppermint Trolley Company (and later by The Brady Bunch kids), the theme is sweet, mood-boosting and tells a story.

          Best 70s TV Theme Songs

          The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970 – 1977)

          In 1970, CBS debuted The Mary Tyler Moore Show, putting Mary Tyler Moore (famous for her role in The Dick Van Dyke Show) front and centre of her own project. The heart-warming theme tune – sung by Country Pop star Sonny Curtis – is titled ‘Love is All Around’. As you may expect, it totally captures the spirit of the Flower Power era.

          All in the Family (1971 – 1979)

          In case you didn’t know, the Family Guy theme tune is based on the theme song to seventies situation comedy show, All in the Family. Hence, we feel this inspirational tune deserves a place on our Best TV Theme Songs list. Watch the show’s tremendously funny intro if you fancy a chuckle.

          Good Times (1974 – 1979)

          CBS’ Good Times captures the spirit of the seventies, and so does its soulful theme song. Considering this was the first family sitcom to star two African-American parents, it’s pleasing to hear the voices of two African-American R&B singers, Jim Gilstrap and Blinky, during the intro.

          Happy Days (1974 – 1984)

          The theme tune to Garry Marshall’s Happy Days features an extremely infectious beat and lyrics that’ll instantly put a smile on anyone's face – even the most melancholic amongst us. Set in Wisconsin in the 1950s-60s, the American sitcom focuses on the Cunningham family and features characters that are just as upbeat as the intro.

          The Muppet Show (1976 – 1981)

          In 1976, American puppeteer Jim Henson created The Muppet Show for British broadcaster ATV after ABC passed on the pilots. Essentially, The Muppet Show is a variety show featuring recurring Muppets characters (think Kermit and Miss Piggy). But the main thing we remember about the television show is its extremely catchy theme song.

          Best 80s TV Theme Songs

          Baywatch (1981 – 2001)

          The intro to action-drama series Baywatch is renowned for two reasons: 1) its slo-mo running scenes and 2) its eighties rock theme tune. Jimi Jamison, the vocalist behind Baywatch’s ‘I’m Always Here’, was the frontman of rock bands Survivor, Target and Cobra. He also sang the theme song to Columbia Pictures’ The Karate Kid.

          Only Fools and Horses (1981 – 2003)

          Only Fools and Horses is acknowledged as being one of the best TV shows in history. Naturally, the Only Fools and Horses theme tune is lauded as one of the best TV theme songs ever. What does it sound like? It sounds like South-East London.

          The Young Ones (1982 – 1984)

          Audiences love watching TV shows that encapsulate the era, which is why BBC’s The Young Ones proved so popular back in the 1980s. The punky British sitcom is eccentric and unconventional, focusing on four students, each with their own idiosyncrasies. Aptly, the theme song is rowdy, boisterous and unlike any other.

          The A-Team (1983 – 1987)

          No TV Theme Song list is complete without a mention of The A-Team. The eighties action-adventure show features a theme song created by composers Mike Post and Peter Carpenter that’s just as explosive as the show. Heard the song before but never seen the show? Perhaps you're familiar with the 118 ads that famously utilised the theme tune. That or your dad used to watch it on repeat whilst ‘babysitting’.

          The Cosby Show (1984 – 1992)

          The ground-breaking family sitcom featured a catchy theme tune, ‘Kiss Me’. The Latin jazz track is quirky and buoyant and prepares audiences for a fun-filled episode.

          Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends (1984 – Present)

          The Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends theme tune is the sound of many people’s childhoods. Inspired by The Railway Series by Rev. W. Andry, the children’s television show focuses on a group of anthropomorphised vehicles, located on the fictional island of Sodor, and its theme tune incorporates the sounds of traditional steam locomotives.

          Eastenders (1985 – Present)

          British soap operas always open with unforgettable theme tunes – but which is the best? In our opinion, it has to be BBC’s Eastenders theme tune, composed by British musician Simon May. It’s bold, dramatic and grabs our attention – what more could you want from a soap theme song?

          21 Jump Street (1987 – 1991)

          Younger readers may be surprised to learn that before Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill teamed up for a 21 Jump Street movie, 21 Jump Street was an eighties series starring the-one-and-only Johnny Depp. The theme song is exactly what you would expect from an eighties American drama: it’s led by electric guitars, loud vocals and upbeat percussion.

          Saved by the Bell (1989 – 1992)

          Saved by the Bell is an American sitcom that focuses on a group of students who attend Bayside High School in Los Angeles. Just like the characters, the TV show’s theme tune gives off a too-cool-for-school vibe that we’ve been obsessed with since day one.

          The Simpsons (1989 – Present)

          There’s something about The Simpsons theme tune that makes us feel at home – we guess that’s because it’s been in our lives for such a long time. Composed by industry legend Danny Elfman, the theme song to the consistently funny animated sitcom is just what we need to hear after a hard day’s work.

          Best 90s TV Theme Songs

          The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990 – 1996)

          There’s so much to love about NBC’s The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, including the show’s iconic rap theme song (which, FYI, we know every lyric of). Also titled ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’, the rap was created by show stars Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

          Rugrats (1990 – 2006)

          In 1990, Nickelodeon debuted Rugrats: a kids TV show that revolved around a group of American toddlers. Just like the characters of the show, the Rugrats theme tune is sweet, innocent and youthful. Here’s hoping the theme tune returns for the 2021 Paramount+ reboot.

          Barney & Friends (1990 –2010)

          Barney & Friends is an educational and entertaining HiT television show, based on the direct-to-video series Barney and the Backyard Gang. The Barney theme song playfully introduces the purple T-Rex to the audience and attracts the attention of little ones.

          Sister, Sister (1994 – 1999)

          We’re all for hip-hop theme tunes, and one of our favourites comes from nineties sitcom Sister, Sister. The show stars identical twins Tia and Tamera Mowry who unite 14 years after being separated at birth.

          Friends (1994 – 2004)

          Friends is one of the biggest sitcoms ever created, and its theme tune is nothing short of iconic. ‘I’ll Be There For You’ was written and sung by American Duo The Rembrandts after R.E.M rejected Warner Bros’ offer to use their track ‘Shiny Happy People’.

          Arthur (1996 – Present)

          There’s one theme song that we find ourselves constantly singing, and that’s the tune to animated TV series Arthur. Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers is the band responsible for the catchy, reggae-inspired track that carries an important message for kids and adults alike: believe in yourself.

          Recess (1997 – 2001)

          Growing up, Disney’s Recess was one of our favourite animations. Now, we can relive our childhoods by binge-watching episodes on Disney+. Admittedly, the part we’re looking forward to the most is the theme tune created by American composer Denis M. Hannigan.

          Sex and the City (1998 – 2004)

          When we think of New York City, we think of the Sex and the City theme tune. The theme song – composed by Douglas J. Cuomo – is flirty, jazzy and a little exotic; it brings colour to the greyscale city, just like the show’s main characters.

          Spongebob Squarepants (1999 – Present)

          It doesn’t matter how old you are, we’d bet our bottom (sand) dollar you’ve heard the Spongebob Squarepants theme song. Sung by Patrick Pinney, the fast-paced tune is a lot of fun, and that’s why it’s one of our all-time favourites.

          Family Guy (1999 – Present)

          As we mentioned, the Family Guy theme is based loosely on the theme tune to sitcom All in the Family. Sung by the two main characters, Peter and Lois, the nineties TV theme song swiftly transforms from a low-key duet to a big band show song. We mean, what’s not to love?

          Best 2000s TV Theme Songs

          Big Brother (2000 – 2018)

          Big Brother ushered in a new era of reality television for the 2000s that ultimately puts everyday people into social experiments. So, it makes sense that the Big Brother theme tune is inspired by the music of psychological thrillers.

          Malcolm In The Middle (2000 – 2006)

          Malcolm in the Middle is the archetypal noughties show, and its theme music reminds us that alternative rock was at the height of popularity after the turn of the millennium. Titled ‘Boss of Me’, the song, sung by the band They Might Be Giants, takes us back to better days; thus, it’s one of our favourite TV themes.

          Kim Possible (2002 – 2007)

          Kim Possible is one of those animated characters that radiates coolness: you either want to be her or be friends with her. So, it makes sense that the theme tune to her show is just as hip as she is. Titled ‘Call Me, Beep Me’, the tune has instant appeal and features the voice of noughties R&B princess Christina Milian.

          Little Britain (2003 – 2006)

          Little Britain reminds viewers that no humour beats British humour, which is why the theme tune is concurrently patriotic and satirical. Composed by David Arnold, the orchestral track plays as veteran actor Tom Baker (aka Doctor Who) provides a humorous voiceover that differs for each episode.

          That’s So Raven (2003 – 2007)

          Disney Channel is responsible for some of the greatest TV theme songs of all time, including the That’s So Raven theme tune. The noughties theme tune tells a story, it’s a reflection of its time and it's sung by the three lead stars of the show, Raven Symoné, Orlando Brown and Anneliese van der Pol. In short, it’s faultless (and ever so catchy).

          How I Met Your Mother (2005 – 2014)

          Since How I Met Your Mother left our screens back in 2014, we’ve felt empty – which is why we regularly re-watch episodes. One thing we’re never tired of hearing is the American sitcom’s theme tune, ‘Hey Beautiful’, by Connecticut-based power pop band The Solids.

          The Emperor's New School (2006 – 2008)

          If you ask us, The Emperor's New School is one of the most underrated animated TV shows ever. It’s filled with fun, relatable characters; it’s a little historic (emphasis on the ‘little’) and it’s jam-packed with sarcasm. Oh, and as for the theme tune, it’s quite frankly a banger.

          Hannah Montana (2006 – 2011)

          Magic was made when Disney Channel asked Miley Cyrus to sing the theme song to her Y2K show Hannah Montana. Titled The Best of Both Worlds, the pop theme tune marks the beginning of Cyrus' impressive music career, which makes it a must-have on our Best Theme Songs list.

          Mad Men (2007-2015)

          From the first episode of Mad Men, we, the audience, know that the main character – Donald Draper (played by John Hamm) – isn’t in for an easy ride. This is thanks to the show’s sombre, foreboding theme tune. The song, produced by musician RJD2, is titled ‘A Beautiful Mine’ and is taken from rapper Aceyalone’s album Magnificent City.

          Modern Family (2009-2020)

          American mockumentary Modern Family is a contemporary classic; for this reason, its short, repetitive, big-band theme tune is likely to be remembered for years to come. Who’s behind it? Film score composer Gabriel Mann.

          Best 2010s TV Theme Songs

          Adventure Time (2010 – 2018)

          Cartoon Network’s animated fantasy show, Adventure Time, appeals to people from all demographics. Consequently, the show’s folky theme tune – sung and played by series creator Pendleton Ward – is adored by millions worldwide.

          The Only Way is Essex (2010 – Present)

          When reality series The Only Way is Essex (AKA TOWIE) first hit screens in 2010, it was unlike any other show. Essentially, the show places real Essex personalities in set-up situations and films the results – as you can imagine, things often get heated. To complement the glamorous tone of the show – and to make reference to the song that inspired the show’s title – ITV and Lime Pictures chose Yazz’s eighties hit ‘The Only Way is Up’ for the theme tune. Now, the song and the show are indivisible.

          New Girl (2011 – 2018)

          Zooey Deschanel seems like the kind of woman who lights up any room she enters. Fittingly, the theme song to her comedy show New Girl is sunny and optimistic. Plus, it makes any viewers unfamiliar with the show want to know more about her character, Jess.

          Game of Thrones (2011 – 2019)

          Game of Thrones changed the way we think about TV forever by bringing cinematic standards to the small screen. The HBO show’s epic intro had us on the edge of our seat before the beginning of each episode thanks to German score composer Ramin Djawadi’s Game of Thrones theme tune.

          Orange Is the New Black (2013 – 2019)

          Orange Is the New Black was one of Netflix’s first original series; hence, it had a lot to prove. Fortunately, for all parties involved, the show was a huge success. One of the series’ most beloved elements was its theme song: Regina Spektor’s , 'You’ve Got Time'. We, for one, can certainly see why.

          Peaky Blinders (2013 –)

          Peaky Blinders is beloved by men and women worldwide, thanks to its stellar cast, 1920s backdrop, semi-fictional narrative and unorthodox theme tune. Created by Australian rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the theme song, ‘Red Right Hand’, represents the gritty tenor of the period drama show.

          Check out our article on TV soundtracks for more on Peaky Blinders’ trailblazing music style.

          Stranger Things (2016 –)

          The reason why Stranger Things has proven so successful is because it makes everyone feel nostalgic for the eighties – even those who weren’t around back then. The theme tune channels the retro vibe of the show by relying on a bass synthesizer, redolent of old sci-fi flicks.

          Westworld (2016 – Present)

          Just three seasons in and HBO’s Westworld has already had its fair share of highs and lows; and one of the highlights of the show is its intense, brooding theme tune. What probably won’t surprise you is the theme tune comes from the same composer as the Game of Thrones theme, Ramin Djawadi.

          The Crown (2016 – Present)

          The Crown was set to be Netflix’s biggest TV show ever, and one of the most expensive TV shows ever made; ergo, the streaming-service-cum-production-company had to ensure the show’s theme song was first-class. So, they got in touch with musical legend Hans Zimmer. The result? A beautifully orchestrated composition sure to go down in entertainment history.

          Big Little Lies (2017 – 2019)

          When we first heard that Reece Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoë Kravitz were starring in a HBO series together, we knew the result would be impressive. However, we never expected Big Little Lies to become one of our favourite TV shows ever. And because we love it so much, we feel a little glimpse of joy every time we hear the show’s theme tune: ‘Cold Little Heart’ by Michael Kiwanuka.

            Add a header to begin generating the table of contents

            Most of us are familiar with Bud Light, one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the United States of America, chiefly because of their internet-breaking television ads.

            From the medieval commercials of the 2010s to the Office-inspired ads of the late 00s, Bud Light enjoys introducing audiences (usually sports audiences) to different worlds – worlds in which their beverage is of paramount importance.

            Below, we celebrate Bud Light's unstoppable marketing team by calling attention to their best TV commercials (so far). We also take a look at the music used in each advert, exploring the different mood each attempts to create.

            Game of Thrones X Bud Light Commercial

            Plot: For their 2019 Super Bowl commercial, Bud Light teamed up with Game of Thrones to give their ‘Bud Knight’ character (introduced in previous ads) a worthy opponent: Ser Gregor Clegane (AKA The Mountain). Unsurprisingly, Ser Clegane opts for his familiar winning move, crushing the eyes of the protagonist.

            But that’s not all. In a moment that foreshadows the events of GOT’s final season, Drogon appears out of the blue to torture innocent civilians. Needless to say, the advert created hype around the HBO show and the alcoholic beverage.

            Music: The soundtrack to the Game of Thrones X Bud Light commercial begins with a short medieval-inspired song, led by strings and woodwinds, accompanied by the diegetic sound of regal trumpets. Subsequently, the music merges into the familiar sound of Game of Thrones' theme tune (a track capable of sending fantasy nerds like us, wild).

            Bud Light Seltzer Commercial

            Plot: How do you advertise lemonade seltzer to a pretty sensitive post-2020 audience? According to Bud Light, you remind them that 2020 was a lemon of a year, and blame its chaos on raining lemons, rather than a deadly pandemic. Then, you end it with the age-old adage, ‘When life gives you lemons’. Sound bizarre? That’s because it is. But it’s also very entertaining.

            Music: Emphasising the year-long timeline of the advert, Bud Light opts for Jo Stafford and Gordon MacRae’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (I Love You): a 1950’s track that literally runs through all the days of the week in its catchy chorus.

            Bud Light In The Can Commercial

            Plot: Bud Light’s ‘In the Can' commercial is extremely cheeky, relying on an adult audience to be cognizant of the X-rated euphemism that leads the ad’s narrative. The shocking nature of the ad certainly got people talking back in the 00s, which, to us, is a sign of an effective commercial.

            Music: When an advert is made up of a multitude of clips, it’s important the music remains consistent throughout. The calm, gentle music used in the 'In The Can' ad allows the audience to focus on the all-so-important dialogue.

            Bud Light Swear Jar Commercial (also known as The Banned Bud Light Commercial)

            Plot: Bud Light’s famous ‘Swear Jar’ ad focuses on a corporate office team who are purposely looking to fill their swear jar to score a crate of Bud Light. The sitcom-style commercial, reminiscent of The Office, is both parts hilarious and relatable.

            But what’s really interesting about the 2007 ad is that it was never actually aired on TV. In fact, it was reportedly banned. Initially, it was created to play on Bud.TV, the brand’s short-lived online television network, but soon leaked across the internet. Astonishingly, the commercial was still able to pick up an array of advertising awards.

            Music: Although the advert doesn’t use a background music track, it does feature sound effects towards the end of the advert that aid the commercial’s narrative.

            If you happen to be looking for sound effects for your next project, make sure you take a look at our expansive array of musical effects in our catalogue.

            Lady Gaga Bud Light Commercial

            Plot: Bud Light collaborated with pop sensation Lady Gaga on a promotional concert tour dubbed ‘Dive Bar Tour’ back in October 2016. In the ad, Gaga sings her hit ‘Million Reasons’ in different locations across the US. In some clips, she’s even sporting a Bud Light tee.

            Music: As mentioned above, Lady Gaga sings ‘Million Reasons’, a track featured on her 2016 country-inspired album Joanne.

            The New Bud Light Commercial (also known as The Bud Light Legends commercial)

            Plot: Bud Light’s Super Bowl LV commercial pays homage to Avengers: Endgame – currently the highest-grossing film of all time. ‘Legends’ from adverts of the past few years (including The Bud Knight and Post Malone) emerge from blue-lit portals to help a fallen Bud Light driver deliver the goods to Bud-thirsty customers.

            Music: The track used in the Bud Light Legends commercial is brooding, dramatic and, above all, epic. Essentially, it sounds like something one might hear in a superhero blockbuster.

            THE BEST HANS ZIMMER SOUNDTRACKS

            THE BEST HANS ZIMMER SOUNDTRACKS OF ALL TIME

            Leave a Comment / MUSIC /

              Add a header to begin generating the table of contents

              Fellow film buffs know that if a movie features a Hans Zimmer soundtrack, it's bound to be epic. But who is he?

              Best known for being Christopher Nolan's score composer of choice (something we'll explore a little later), Hans Zimmer is responsible for some of the most immersive music in film and television history.

              Here we take a look at the 25 best Hans Zimmer Soundtracks (so far) – from The Dark Knight to Gladiator.

              And if you’re looking for the soundtrack to your next project (but your budget doesn’t stretch to Mr Zimmer) – no matter if that's a film, or TV show, look to our expertly-chosen playlists for everything you need.

              The Best Hans Zimmer Soundtracks

              1. Batman Begins (2005)

              Our first pick for Hans Zimmer’s film work is the opening chapter in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, better known as Batman Begins. This marked the first time the British director and Hans Zimmer worked together.

              For us, the standout moment from the Batman Begins soundtrack is the ‘Ending Theme’. It's tense, dramatic and effectively creates a sense of impending doom.

              Looking for something similar? Check out our tense and dramatic background music pages.

              2. The Dark Knight (2008)

              The Dark Knight is the second chapter in Nolan's Batman trilogy that relies on the musical talents of Hans Zimmer. Frequently praised as one of the best films of all time, the film contains themes of anarchy and chaos – and its soundtrack does a great job reflecting that.

              The ‘Main Theme’ from The Dark Knight is a lot like its titular character – strong, heroic and mysterious. Some may say it’s as iconic as the film's career-defining performances.

              3.The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

              Completing the trilogy alongside Nolan, Hans Zimmer returned for 2012's The Dark Knight Rises: a film that puts the 'grand' in grand finale.

              As expected, Zimmer upped the ante for Christian Bale's final outing as Batman, adding heavy percussion and angelic vocals into the mix to create tracks like ‘Rise’: an aptly-titled, foreboding track played during the last few minutes of the film.

              4. Inception (2010)

              Outside of the Batman trilogy, Nolan and Zimmer have collaborated on other film projects – including 2010's Inception.

              Starring some of the greatest actors and actresses of our time, Inception is a genre-defying blockbuster that Nolan will forever be remembered for. Similarly, ‘Time’ is a warm and weighty track from the soundtrack, tapping into the plot’s esoteric and philosophical themes.

              5. The Lion King (1994)

              Adored by millions worldwide, The Lion King is one of the most impactful films ever created. And whilst Elton John and Tim Rice are known for penning the musical's catchy songs, it's Zimmer that composed all of the compositions in between.

              Of course, that includes the track 'Remember Who You Are' that plays as Simba speaks to his deceased father (who FYI appears in the clouds). This music moment helped Zimmer win his first and – to date - only Academy Award.

              6. The Lion King (2019)

              When Disney decided to recreate The Lion King using new live-action technology, recruiting Zimmer was paramount. Who else would be able to capture the cathartic essence of the Shakesperian narrative?

              After watching The Lion King (2019) for the first time, the song that stuck with us the most was ‘Stampede’. As the name suggests, this track plays during the scene in which Simba tragically loses his father. The combination of the life-like visuals and the foreshadowing tune in the 2019 flick was so powerful, it triggered feelings inside of us we never even realised we were capable of.

              7. Gladiator (2000)

              Anybody who's anybody has worked with British film director Ridley Scott – needless to say, that includes Hans Zimmer. Most notably, Zimmer provided the soundtrack to Scott's swords and sandals epic, Gladiator.

              Speaking to GQ, Ridley Scott once said, ‘In my head, I listen to [Zimmer's] music and I don't even have to shut my eyes. I can see the pictures. And that's why, in many respects, I know I can talk pictures with Hans. He responds to pictures.’ See what the director means by checking out Gladiator's ‘Main Theme’.

              8. The Da Vinci Code (2006)

              Ron Howard’s The Da Vinci Code may have been released all the way back in the mid-00s, but it continues to divide opinion (on and offline) to this day. Albeit, one thing everyone can agree on is that Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack hits all the right notes.

              How does one go about creating a soundtrack for the literary film adaptation of Dan Brown's mystery-thriller? Judging by the film's ‘Main Theme’, you aim to create an atmosphere and provoke the audience's emotions.

              You can find atmospheric and emotional music in our catalogue.

              9. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

              The first Pirates of the Caribbean film set the pace for the rest of Jack Sparrow’s swashbuckling franchise – in terms of storyline, locations, character arcs and music.

              It therefore comes as no surprise that Hans Zimmer is the man behind The Curse of the Black Pearl’s music; he composed the iconic theme song alongside fellow German-composer Klaus Badlet.

              10. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

              The sequel to The Curse of the Black Pearl had a lot to live up to – and so did its soundtrack. Expectedly, Zimmer blew expectations out of the (pirate-riddled) water.

              'Jack Sparrow' from Dead Man’s Chest is one of the quirkiest tracks Zimmer has ever created in his career. The song moves quickly and unexpectedly and features chirpy strings and rousing percussion.

              Searching the high seas for more quirky music? We think X marks the spot on this particular map.

              11. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)

              Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a lot of fun, and so is its soundtrack. In classic Zimmer-style, each song is bold and action-packed and deserves to be listened to on surround-sound speakers.

              In the famous Up is Down sequence of the film (a personal favourite from the POTC franchise), music adds tension to an otherwise comical scene. Check it out for yourself to see exactly what we mean.

              12. Interstellar (2014)

              Interstellar is Christopher Nolan's most ambitious film to date, and, naturally, it's aided by a ground-breaking soundtrack provided by Zimmer.

              The thematic ‘No Time For Caution’ track encompasses the epic feel of the sci-fi cinematic experience and keeps viewers on the edge of their seat. If you're looking for some similar music for your next project, we suggest you look to our cinematic orchestral album.

              13. Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

              Dennis Villeneuve’s creative eye and Zimmer’s ear for music joined forces in 2017 for Blade Runner 2049. The result? A phenomenal visual and audio spectacle that takes the audience on a trip to the future.

              At the end of the film, a Zimmer-fied version of the ‘Tears In The Rain’ track from the 1982 film plays. The soft, touching track helps Villeneuve wrap the labyrinthine narrative up in a way that respects the franchise and its fan base.

              14. Dunkirk (2017)

              By 2017, Hans Zimmer’s music was a key ingredient to auteur Christopher Nolan’s films. Hence, he played an important part in ensuring that historical war film Dunkirk sounded every bit as extravagant as it needed to.

              The standout song on the Dunkirk tracklist is ‘The Mole’, a tune that aims to evoke uneasiness within the audience. Its restless ticking and dramatic climax makes the action on screen seem all the more exciting.

              15. Sherlock Holmes (2009)

              The Zimmer soundtrack to Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes captures the zeitgeist of London in the Victorian era: frantic, eccentric and hard working.

              Take ‘Discombobulate’, for example, a composition that fits perfectly within the world of the idiosyncratic detective.

              16. Planet Earth II (2016)

              The only TV show to make it to our list is BBC's Planet Earth II. The nature docuseries – spearheaded by cherished presenter Sir David Attenborough – is a celebration of our world (and a sequel to 2006's Planet Earth) spread over six episodes.

              Listen to how Zimmer took inspiration from the captivating footage to create music by watching and listening to the iconic and very dramatic Iguana vs Snakes clip.

              17. The Prince of Egypt (1998)

              When Dreamworks decided to bring a Bible story to life on screen, they knew they'd need the help of Hans Zimmer to create a ground-breaking, sea-parting soundtrack.

              As you may already know, the final song of Prince of Egypt is aptly sublime and leaves the audience in its feels. Ergo, it's one of our favourite Hans Zimmer movie soundtracks of all time.

              18. 12 Years A Slave (2013)

              12 Years A Slave is a powerful statement, an impressive period film and a poignant biography all rolled into one. Unsurprisingly, Hans Zimmer took on the challenge of providing a soundtrack for the film with aplomb.

              The song ‘Solomon’ – named after the film's lead character – encapsulates the complex mood of the film that concurrently summons a whole range of emotions.

              19. Man of Steel (2013)

              Say what you like about Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, but for heaven's sake do not come for Zimmer's formidable soundtrack: it's everything a Superman soundtrack should be.

              Listen to Hans Zimmer (and his orchestra) perform the leading song from the film, and we dare you not to get goose bumps.

              20. The Simpsons Game (2007)

              If you're wondering what Hans Zimmer game soundtracks exist, then wonder no longer as we're about to unlock a new memory. Zimmer provided the soundtrack for (drum roll please...) The Simpsons Game.

              Released on consoles back in 2007 (AKA the PS3 era), The Simpsons Game was an immersive video game experience that made players (including us) like a Springfield resident, helped along by Zimmer’s music.

              21. Hidden Figures (2016)

              Hidden Figures – starring Taraji P Henson, Janelle Monáe and Octavia Spencer – is a modern classic that features a soundtrack created by Hans Zimmer, British composer Benjamin Wallfisch and the one-and-only Pharrell Williams.

              The bewitching set of songs successfully merges Zimmer's flair for orchestral sounds with soul-stirring vocals and graceful piano notes. For this reason, it's one of our favourite soundtracks to make it to this list.

              22. Pearl Harbor (2001)

              Pearl Harbor packs an emotional punch – something it wouldn't have been able to accomplish without Hans Zimmer's help.

              ‘Tennessee’ is a beautifully composed track that's known across the world as the theme song to the 2001 film. Need reminding? Have a listen by watching the video.

              23. Shark Tale (2004)

              Shark Tale is one of Dreamworks' biggest success stories to date – and if you ask us, that's got everything to do with Hans Zimmer's contagious soundtrack. One song that's stuck with us since the animation's release is ‘Some of My Best Friends Are Sharks’. Who knew a song inspired by the sea could be so warm?

              24. Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

              Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice is a film that collides one world with another. So, it was only fitting that the film's soundtrack brings together the worlds of German-born Hans Zimmer and Dutch composer Junkie XL.

              Not seen the film? We suggest you listen to ‘Do You Bleed?’ from the DC soundtrack to get a taste of what was achieved from the collaboration. (Hint: it's pretty magnificent.)

              25. Madagascar (2005)

              Madagascar just goes to prove that you can capture the attention of both kids and adults with the help of a magical soundtrack. Especially if that soundtrack is composed by Mr Hans Zimmer.

              ‘Zoosters Breakout’ is a song from the motion picture that tells the story of the animals breaking out of the urban zoo in audio form. And judging by the comments, it’s also the soundtrack of many millennials’ childhoods.

                Did you know that a handful of the savviest businesswomen in the world actually started out on YouTube? Off the back of producing enticing vlogs, they soon established a staunch following, so when they then founded brands and followed new career paths, they knew full well that their fans would support them. Evidently, it’s a recipe for success.

                1. Huda Kattan

                Subscribers: 4.14m

                Worth a cool $510 million, Huda Kattan is the beauty blogger and entrepreneur who founded make-up company Huda Beauty in 2006 and Wishful Skincare in 2020.

                Subscribers: 14.7m

                Lilly Singh rose to fame on the back of her comedy videos satirising Indian and Punjabi culture; unsurprisingly, the ones in which she impersonated her parents have always been super popular.

                Over the years, she’s picked up just shy of 15 million YouTube subscribers, expanded into movies (including Bad Moms and Fahrenheit 451) and was even given her late-night talk show by NBC, A Little Late with Lilly Singh.

                Now, she’s estimated to be worth $20 million. You could say she’s laughing all the way to the bank.

                Most Subscribed Female YouTubers

                3. Yuya

                Subscribers: 24.9m

                Mexican content creator Yuya joined YouTube at the age of 16 after winning a make-up contest. How has she attracted an audience? By creating engaging content covering topics such as beauty, fashion and styling.

                After building up a loyal fan base, Yuya started launching her own products, including a perfume (#True), a cosmetics line and two books. In other words, she’s #winning.

                4. Jenna Marbles

                Subscribers: 20m

                Kick-starting her YouTube career with 2010 viral video ‘How to Trick People into Thinking You’re Good Looking’ – a video which now boasts 71+ million views – Jenna Marbles used this launchpad to become a successful YouTuber, comedian and actress.

                12 years later, Jenna Marbles’ vlogs are regularly hitting over three million views, her net worth is estimated at $8 million, and she’s established a line of dog toys inspired by her own canine friends.

                Top Female Beauty YouTubers

                Beauty is one of the top-ranking topics on YouTube as thousands of makeovers, how-tos, reviews and hauls are uploaded every day. We’ve already mentioned two of the biggest hitters, Yuya and Huda Beauty, so, who are the best of the best?

                5. SaraBeautyCorner

                Subscribers: 10.5m

                Slovenian vlogger Sara Lawler’s fun approach to make-up and fashion attracts plenty of teenage fans. She has over 10 million subscribers, and she’s confidently proclaimed that she has the ‘coolest and funniest beauty videos’ on the net.

                Seemingly, there is method in her madness as one of her ‘school pranks’ videos has clocked up over 160 million views. We’ve got the feeling Sara owes some of her success to her fitting music choices, which truly help her stand out from the crowd.

                6. Michelle Phan

                Subscribers: 8.82m

                Michelle was one of the earliest beauty influencers: she established her channel all the way back in 2006. She pivoted into the beauty business with monthly subscription service Ipsy, and she still shares beauty tips and make-up tutorials with her 8.82 million subscribers.

                Altogether, Michelle has generated over 1.1 billion lifetime views! Plus she’s said to have a net worth of $50 million. We guess it makes sense considering she runs a women’s lifestyle network FAWN (For All Women’s Network), a cosmetics line with L’Oreal and a platform for artists to promote their music called Shift Music Group. Not bad for someone who, ‘didn’t have a roadmap; I just did it because it was meaningful to me, and I wanted to disrupt the beauty industry.’

                7. Jackie Aina

                Subscribers: 3.57m

                Jackie aims to, ‘Change the standard of beauty, one video at a time.’ Her content is centred around all things make-up and skincare, and she’s known for her vibrant, positive energy (and her $1 million net worth).

                Most importantly, Jackie is an advocate for the representation of people of colour in the industry, and she’s had brand partnerships with Sephora, Two Faced and Anastasia Beverly Hills.

                Why do people tune into Adriene’s vlogs? Well, she’s down to earth, friendly, and often includes cameos from her adorable dog Benji. On her channel, Adriene has everything from Yoga for Beginners to a variety of 30-day challenges so – no matter what level you’re at – she’s got the content to keep you motivated.

                Subscribers: 400k

                Aussie personal trainer Kayla began her YouTube journey in 2012. Her experience as a dynamic fitness influencer has earned her the top spot on Forbes’ list of Top Fitness Influencers; plus, she's also one of Time magazine’s top 30 most influential people on the internet.

                She’s best known for her fitness app, BBG (Bikini Body Guide) workouts – from ‘Stronger to Pregnancy’ to ‘Zero Equipment’ – and line of bestselling books.

Well, they have over 6.5 million subscribers and have an estimated net worth of $4 million, so, pretty good!

                No equipment is needed to workout with Daniel and Kelli, so pull up your leg warmers, grab a bottle of water and get started!

                11. Nikki Blackketter

                Subscribers: 729k

                Nikki hails from LA and posts daily vlogs on fitness and weightlifting, together with adventures with her room mate, friends, family and her cat. Plus, she’s a committed gamer – she even has a separate gaming YouTube channel!

                Moving back to her fitness channel, she describes her speciality as ‘glute/booty and leg lifts’. And with 729,000 subscribers currently, it appears quite a lot of people are keen to attain Nikki’s physique.

                12. POPSUGAR Fitness

                Subscribers: 5.87m

                So far, the channel has clocked up over 600 million views and has over 5.5 million subscribers. We wonder how far POPSUGAR can take it.

                Inspirational Female YouTubers

                13. Shameless Maya

                Subscribers: 1.2m

                ‘What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?’ This was the question and social experiment that kick-started Maya Washington’s channel in 2012. Sure, Shameless Maya may have begun as an experiment, but now it’s the multifaceted talent’s lifestyle.

                She shares videos on lifestyle, inspiration, transformations and techie content for ‘aspiring geeks’ and boasts over one million subscribers.

                14. Bethany Mota

Mostly by parents whose kids are huge Frozen stans, we’re guessing.

                The success of her cooking show, Nerdy Nummies, has led to Pansino publishing three cookbooks, and with over 13 million subscribers under her belt and a net worth of around $9 million, we can’t wait to see what she does next.

                16. Nikkie Tutorials

                Subscribers: 13.9m

If you’re not familiar with the YouTube character, know that she is a homeschooled teen from Tacoma, with misapplied lipstick and a strong belief in her own singing talent (despite the fact that she couldn’t actually carry a tune in a bucket).

                Colleen’s video ‘Free Voice Lesson’ went viral in 2009, and her ‘Mirfandas’ now follow her across YouTube (10.9 million subscribers), Instagram (6.2 million followers) and Netflix (she created and starred in the show Haters Back Off).

                SHOT LISTS

                SHOT LISTS: WHAT ARE THEY & HOW DO YOU CREATE ONE?

                Contents
                  Add a header to begin generating the table of contents

                  So, you’ve nailed your film treatment, and you’ve got your camera sorted. What other prep do you need to do, prior to starting filming?

                  Create a shot list. But who makes the shot list, and how do YOU do it yourself?

                  What Is a Shot List?

                  A shot list maps out exactly what will happen – and what will be used in a particular shot or scene. And though it’s most often used for films, you can also produce a wedding video shot list, a documentary shot list, an event shot list and more. You could also build a shot list for a photography shoot.

                  Put together by the director and cinematographer during pre-production, a shot list is a detailed list of every shot that needs to be captured on a specific shoot day. Its primary purpose is to break down a scene into specific steps to serve as a blueprint for your day’s shooting. Creating the shot list can help a director to organize their thoughts before filming begins and will inform the shooting schedule.

                  Think of it a bit like a shopping list to ensure you’ve got every shot you need to tell your story!

                  As for what is in a shot list, the specifics are also detailed for every shot: what camera will be used and the lens, what’s the shot size, the camera movement and what shot type you’re creating – from a wide shot to an extreme close up, together with the location, characters, etc.

                  For a beginner’s guide to shot sizes, watch this video from Studio Binder, as they talk you through establishing shots, medium wide shots and extreme close-ups, together with examples of how and why they’re used.

                  Why Do You Need a Shot List?

                  Put simply, shot lists are what keeps a production organized – from the biggest-budget blockbuster to the smallest indie films. As most movies, TV productions and even some vlogs aren’t shot sequentially, the shot list helps you to work out the most efficient shooting schedule, both maximizing shooting time, and limiting downtime across departments.

                  The shot list also has the advantage of making sure that all the different departments’ members know which scenes are being filmed when – and the equipment the camera crew needs, the lighting set ups, the locations and props, plus the actors’ call times.

                  Also, based on a combination of the script time, the setup time for each shot, and the estimated number of takes, your shot list will automatically generate an estimated shoot time for every shot and scene.

                  Pull My Focus has tips on ‘lining your script’ to help you to put together your shot list in order to give you plenty of editorial flexibility when you’re editing, as well as building in options when you’re shooting, as you’ll inevitably face some changes when you’re on set.

                  What Comes First – Storyboard or Shot List?

                  Storyboarding is a great way to visualise the major shots that’ll move your story along. Use this as a springboard, and then build your shot list around the anchor points that your storyboard has created.

                  There are two parts to putting together a shot list – the first is to pick and design the shots (the director does this with the director of photography [DP]) and the second is then organising and scheduling the shoots for those shots.

                  How to Make a Film Shot List

                  When it comes to how to make a shot list, it can be as simple or as detailed as you want – and, of course, personalise it however you like, with colour coding and even some sketches. These, however, are the core elements that you need to include:

                  • Scene number
                  • Shot number – this is the reference number for the individual shot
                  • Shot description – a short description of the action or dialogue; you can put in as much detail as you’d like for this
                  • Camera movement – how the camera moves within the shot, for example a pan, tilt or tracking – or whether it’s static
                  • Shot size and type – how big/small the subject is in the frame, and the camera angle (eg, eye level, high angle, etc)
                  • Equipment and lens – the type of camera and camera lens you’re using. Minimise set up time by grouping your shot list by lens setups, as well as locations
                  • Location – where you’re shooting
                  • Subject – this can be the actors/characters, a prop, or an establishing shot
                  • Any props required
                  • Prep, shoot and start time
                  • Additional notes – for example, if you’ve got a complex sound setup

                  It’s best to create your shot list in a spreadsheet, so to start, choose a scene from the script and use the elements above as the columns. Each individual shot has its own row. Thinking about the scene, note down the establishing shot and where you’ll need medium or close up shots to tell the story. Each new shot needs a new row on the spreadsheet.

                  It may help you to draw a rough sketch or storyboard of the shot list to help you visualise how the scene is going to play out.

                  Organise your shots based on the location – if you group the shots, then you can film everything you need at the same time which, as we’ve said, maximises your shooting schedule. So, if, for example, you’ve got a number of scenes set in a park throughout your film, put them together on the shot list, even if they’re not in the order they appear in the script. Or let’s say you have numerous characters coming in and out of a café – even if, in the story they’re entering and leaving at different times, shooting these shots at the same time means that you’ve only got to set up and light that location once, saving you time on set.

                  Grouping your shots in the same way based on the lens setups will also make sure you’re not wasting any precious set time.

                  And a pro tip? Marking some shots as a ‘nice to have’ on your shot list in advance means that you can easily prioritise the essentials on set, which is very helpful if you’re running behind schedule...

                  What does a shot list look like? Well, to make your life easier and help you to get started, we’ve created a downloadable shot list template for you!

                  Documentary Shot List

                  For an interview-based documentary, create a list of interviewees, and suggested locations, then a shot list. Will they be sitting down, and shooting quite close up? Or full length?

                  The main questions that will help you to put together your documentary shot list are:

                  • Who do you want to interview?
                  • What locations do you want to visit and perhaps shoot?
                  • What activities do you want to capture?

                  Could your film incorporate some ‘wow’ shots, such as drones or animation, stop-motion, time-lapse or even green screen? Find where you can add this into the shot list, and whether you can cover off different scenarios with, for example, your drone camera, as with the movie shot list advice.

                  Wedding Shot List

                  If you’re a wedding videographer, then a shot list can be invaluable to capture all the major moments on the big day (from a variety of angles – and mixing wide shots with close ups) and make sure you don’t miss anything out.

                  Your locations are likely to include:

                  • The place where the bride/groom are getting ready ahead of the ceremony – plus any bridesmaids or ushers
                  • The location of the ceremony – featuring both outdoor and indoor shots
                  • The reception venue

                  Some of the key elements to include in your shot list will be:

                  • Shots of the couple getting ready
                  • Guests arriving at the ceremony venue, together with shots of the decoration, such as flowers
                  • The wedding party arriving at the ceremony venue
                  • The different highpoints of the ceremony, including the vows, exchange of rings and the signing of the register
                  • All the action at the reception – speeches, cake cutting, the first dance, guests dancing, etc
                  • The happy couple heading off at the end of the night

                  Need wedding video music? We have a huge range, from orchestral classics to romantic pop.

                  Event Shot List

                  From a product launch to a fundraiser, a special gala to a company party, the advantage to building an event shot list is that most of them follow a fairly set structure, so it should be easy to put together.

                  Here are some of the basics, which you can then demonstrate your creativity with, in terms of your shot choices:

                  • The set up – whether it’s a trade show stand, promo items or signage, make sure you’ve got this covered – get into the venue before any guests/attendees arrive, to get images that show everything at its best
                  • Shots or footage of any VIPs or execs that are important
                  • A variety of close ups and wide shots of any speakers
                  • The guests – again close ups and wide shots, showing that it was a well-attended event

                  And once you’re editing it all together, don’t forget some background music to bring it all together.

                    Subtitles: they’re pretty great. They allow international audiences to consume foreign-language content; they give the hard of hearing the opportunity to immerse themselves in the worlds of film and television; and they help audiences understand every word of a video’s dialogue, even when it’s quiet or muffled, all while maintaining styles such as an anime subtitle font.

                    However, they’re only effective if they’re presented in an appropriate subtitle font. anime subtitle font

                    Now, we don’t mean to sound dramatic but there really is nothing worse than an unpleasant subtitle font – it can completely put you off a piece of content.

                    For example, imagine watching an epic blockbuster like Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Avengers: Endgame or Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, accompanied by a font that’s inappropriate (Comic Sans, anyone?) or, even worse, hard to read. It would completely ruin your experience.

                    Now that you understand how important it is to use a clear, aesthetically pleasing typeface, it’s time to get an expert view on subtitle fonts.

                    What Is the Netflix Subtitle Font?

                    Netflix, the streaming service that once famously used a slightly-robotic Consolas typeface (we were into it), now allows subscribers to change the subtitle font to their liking.

                    To access the settings to change a font, you must begin by visiting your Netflix account from a web browser.

                    From here, you can select your profile in ‘Profile and Parent Controls’ and scroll down to ‘Subtitle Appearance’.

                    Then click ‘Change’ to open up Subtitle Appearance: a page which gives you options to change the font, colour, size and shadow of your subtitle text.

                    After you’ve made your selection you can hit save and, just like that, your subtitles will change next time you stream Netflix content.

                    So, what subtitle fonts are available on Netflix? Well, there’s Typewriter, Print, Console, Block, Casual, Cursive and Small Caps. Our go-to? The uber-clean Block font; it feels the most ‘Netflix-y’, in our opinion.

                    What Are the Most Common Movie Subtitle Fonts?

                    It’s always interesting to see what subtitle font a film studio, platform or channel opts for as it can either add to the movie’s vibe or, as we spoke about above, ruin it.

                    For example, imagine if Parasite was paired with an insufferable typeface. Would we have enjoyed watching it so much? Would it’ve won the Oscar? Probably not.

                    The most common movie subtitle fonts seem to be the kind of fonts we see (and use) every day.

                    We’re talking obvious choices such as Lucida Grande, Cambria, Arial and Times New Roman.

                    These styles are chosen because they’re familiar, timeless and easy to process; they feel suitable for every kind of film genre.

                    What Is the Most Common Anime Subtitle Font?

                    Anime’s outlandish, thought-provoking narratives aren’t always the easiest to follow – especially when they aren’t dubbed in English.

                    Hence, anime films and TV shows must opt for an easy-to-read font so that their global audience can comprehend the plot, characters and ideologies of the animation.

                    One of the most common anime subtitle fonts is Trebuchet: an unassuming, no-frills font that can be read quickly and with ease. However, anime font styles are truly endless!

                    What Is the Standard Subtitle Font Size?

                    It’s hard to offer an idea of what the standard font size for subtitles is, as every outlet and service has its own preferences.

                    For example, if you were to ask the BBC what font size you should use to appeal to their channel, they would suggest you refer to their guidelines which clearly state that subtitles must have a line-height of 8% of the active video height.

                    However, if you ask Channel 4 what font size they’d prefer, they’d suggest a size 28 (linear fonts) or size 32 (anamorphic fonts) for entertainment content and a size 30 (linear fonts) or 34 (anamorphic fonts) for factual content.

                    What Is the Best Subtitle Software?

                    A subtitle software is what it says on the tin – it’s a programme used to create, edit, format and position subtitles.

                    Here are the most popular subtitle software programmes used worldwide.

                    1. Movavi

                    2. Jubler

                    3. Aegisub

                    4. Adobe Premiere Pro

                    What Are the Best Subtitle Font Download Websites?

                    If you’re feeling underwhelmed by the choices of fonts available in your software, you can always choose to download new fonts from the internet. Our favourite subtitle font download websites include:

                    What Is the Best Subtitle Font Generator?

                    We don’t care what any sprightly intern says, transcribing is a tedious task.

                    But, luckily, there are a plethora of applications available out there – some of which are free – that will automatically transcribe your work and generate subtitles for you.

                    Here are four of the best subtitle font generators around.

                    1. VEED

                    2. YouTube

                    3. Happyscribe

                    4. Bee Cut

                    Music in Foreign-Language Films

                    If you’re creating a foreign-language film, TV show or vlog and you’re confident it’ll appeal to an English-speaking audience, you’re going to need more than just a cool subtitle font – you’re going to need some storytelling background music. Why? Well because background music can help viewers grasp the feel of a scene, or help to tell your story, whether they understand the dialogue or not.

                    Fortunately for you, we’ve got an entire catalogue of background music tracks, brimming with compositions that evoke every kind mood and emotion. We’ve got angry background music, romantic background music, sad background music and more. Check out our new releases, which we pull into hand-picked playlists every fortnight.

                      The first step to uploading your podcast to iTunes Podcast/Apple Podcast is to sign up to a podcast hosting platform.

                      What is a podcast hosting platform? Essentially, it’s a place to store your mp3 files and transform them into podcast feeds.

                      Podcast hosting platforms include Buzzsprout, Captivate, Transistor, Castos, Podbean and Soundcloud.

                      2. Host Your Podcast and Publish Show Notes

                      Now you’ve signed up to a hosting platform, it’s time to upload your mp3 recording and publish any show notes.

                      ‘Show notes’ usually contain a summary (or a full transcript) of the episode, alongside relevant links and extra details.

                      Seasoned podcasters recommend publishing show notes alongside each and every upload. Why? For two crucial reasons: audience satisfaction and SEO.

                      3. Log Into Apple Podcast Connect

                      What are the other iTunes podcast requirements? Well, to access Podcast Connect – Apple’s dedicated podcast portal – you must first have an Apple ID.

                      Use your Apple ID details to log into Podcast Connect, agree to the terms and you’ll be presented with a page that requests your podcast’s RSS Feed URL.

                      Wondering how to create a URL for iTunes podcast account?

                      To find your RSS Feed URL, you must return to your podcasting hosting platform.

                      Once you’ve located the URL, copy and paste it into Podcast Connect and hit the Validate button. Then, when Apple has validated your link and you’ve checked your podcast details have been inputted correctly, you can press Submit.

                      Your podcast is then sent off for review. Once there’s a status update, Apple will send you an email – so make sure to check your inbox!

                      How long does it take for iTunes to approve a podcast? The process may take up to 5 working days.
