2018 Top Five Music Tracks

Bang Music scored the year's #1 entry in the Top Five Music Tracks Chart of 2018, with sound design from MackCut. The shops teamed on "Espresso-Wear" for Dunkin', which earned the year's best distinction in music and sound.

Also in the mix are AT&T's cinema mashup piece "Bus," a Mercedes-Benz spot from Berlin agency antoni, a "knockout" of a film for Chase featuring Serena Williams, and a tug-at-the-heartstrings FedEx commercial hearkening back to the classic tortoise vs hare comparison.

So have a listen to the Top Five Music Tracks of the year.
