PlayNetwork Shares Top 20 Songs Heard by Holiday Shoppers

SEATTLE, Dec. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PlayNetwork, the leading provider of branded entertainment media experiences in retail and beyond, has compiled the top 20 songs shoppers will hear in stores this holiday season. The Seattle-area company partners with more than 400 brands including Converse, Forever 21, Vans, Levi's, Marc Jacobs and Urban Outfitters to create and curate music and entertainment media for marketing and brand experiences in stores, on websites, mobile applications, events and more.

"Kelly Clarkson's 'Underneath the Tree' is one of the only newer original songs to make the top 20 this year, otherwise classics and covers tend to reign supreme," said Julia Cummings, Director of Music Services, PlayNetwork.
