Commercials are all the rage when it comes to putting a song on the map.<\/p>\n<p>Several weeks ago, Aloe Blacc&#8217;s &#8220;The Man&#8221; surged up the iTunes single sales chart after its inclusion in sports-themed Beats Headphones commercials.<\/p>\n<p>Released this summer in conjunction with blockbuster film &#8220;Despicable Me 2,&#8221; it was not until it tracked a Beats Pill commercial that Pharrell&#8217;s &#8220;Happy&#8221; stormed its way up the same chart (the Oscar nomination also did not hurt).<\/p>\n<p>Featured in Budweiser&#8217;s acclaimed &#8220;Puppy Love&#8221;\/#BestBuds commercial, Passenger&#8217;s &#8220;Let Her Go&#8221; is the latest recipient of such a boost.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Super Bowl week, the international hit, <a href=\"http:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2013\/10\/29\/hit-alert-passengers-let-go-reaches-top-10-voice\/\">which broke through in America this fall<\/a>, appeared to be fading from ubiquity.<\/p>\n<p>Buzz over the commercial changed that.  Following the commercial&#8217;s online debut, the song moved back into the meaty middle of the iTunes Single Sales Top 10.  And after the spot&#8217;s broadcast during Sunday&#8217;s Super Bowl, it has charged all the way up to number two on the iTunes chart.<\/p>\n<p>Focus now turns to whether it can dethrone Katy Perry&#8217;s blockbuster &#8220;Dark Horse (featuring Juicy J).&#8221;  Despite their buzz, neither &#8220;The Man&#8221; nor &#8220;Happy&#8221; was able to usurp the number one position.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let Her Go&#8221; is hoping to do what they could not.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uQB7QRyF4p4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[1426,1616,1543,1065,1064,1373,1617,767,1488],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Passenger&#039;s &quot;Let Her Go&quot; Surges on iTunes Chart after Super Bowl<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Who needs the radio?
