iPod commercials quickly became as iconic as the products they sold. Launched in 2003, the classic iPod ad campaign featured silhouettes of people dancing like mad in front of brightly colored backgrounds, with the iPod and its headphones in stark white contrast. These clips are deeply embedded in the memories of most anyone who watched television in the 2000s. Do you remember seeing these iconic iPod ads on TV in the 2000s?

Songs used in iPod commercials during the device's heyday got a massive boost in visibility and sales, with Steve Jobs himself often hand-picking and giving final approval on songs used in some of Apple's best-known ads. If you did see those iPod ads, did you ever download a song/discover new music from those ads? Yes
