Gossip Girl Music News (Page 5)

Here's a great Gossip Girl music video, set to The Fray:

The claws came out on Gossip Girl last night, as Blair confronted Serena about her sleeping with Nate; while Dan and Chuck continued their unfinished rivalry.

But what songs were these scenes set to? Here are a few tunes from "The Wild Brunch."

• Believe : The Bravery

• Hit Me Up : Gia Farrell

• Shut Up and Drive : Rihanna

• The Ballad of Gus and Sam : Ferraby Lionheart

• The Queen and I : Gym Class Heroes

• When Did Your Heart Go Missing? : Rooney

• Tell Me 'Bout It : Joss Stone

Readers have been clamoring for the Gossip Girl commercial, featuring the Aqualung song "Something to Believe In."

So here it is. Remember: check back every week to sort through our Gossip Girl music library.

Come to Gossip Girl for the sex appeal of its actors.

Stay for the music.

Chop Shop Music owner Alexandra Patsavas - who was the music supervisor for The OC and currently does the same for Grey's Anatomy - is sending this basic message.

As with other shows on the CW, music will feature heavily into the lives and plot lines of the main characters on Gossip Girl. For instance, promos for the show feature Fergie's "Glamorous" and Aqualung's "Something to Believe In."

Patsavas says these two acts are representative of the show's music.

"What The OC did for indie rock, we'd like Gossip Girl to do for pop," she says.

The pilot episode spotlights music by Rihanna, the Mooney Suzuki, Hanson, Amy Winehouse, Angels & Airwaves and others.

"I'm relying on old favorites while exploring current pop music," Patsavas says. "And since the show revolves primarily around high school students in New York, we'll definitely be using some New York-based bands. But these kids listen to the radio, too. So, there will be that music, too."

In addition to licensed tracks, the show features the sounds of production team the Transcenders, who composed the show's overall music, including the theme song.

The season premiere of Gossip Girl is set for this Wednesday, September 19.

Before you watch the exploits of Serena, Blair and company, however, take a look at a few of the songs you'll be hearing on the pilot episode:

• Young Folks - Peter Bjorn & John
• If It's Lovin' That You Want - Rihanna
• Something To Believe In - Aqualung
• What Goes Around... Comes Around - Justin Timberlake
• Diamond Hipster Boy - Washington Social Club
• Back To Black - Amy Winehouse
• Hang Me Up To Dry - Cold War Kids
• Go - Hanson
