I also think it's a mistake to assume that the effect of something like that has a positive impact on the song's sales. It could easily have a negative impact. Hi, Wolfstar :)
I agree. And in some cases, money might not have anything to do with it. The use of the song could be refused for artistic reasons.

Yep...artistic reasons and probably other reasons we who aren't in the business can't imagine. It's not all about entertainment. It's also about big business, with unions, music publishers, lyricists, composers, artists who introduced the song, their managers and others all involved. In the case of older songs line the ones to be sung tonight, there may also be heirs to the songwriters/original owners involved.
