People hear them, but do they listen? They listen to real music, not jingles. Some jingles can cross over - and I'll never forget the hardcore version of the 1980s Food Emporium jingle I heard once on Pat Duncan's WFMU show - but they're not going to put Kylie Minogue, World Burns to Death, or Daft Punk out of work. Daft Punk was used in a French commercial though.
