Good Riddance was popular long before Seinfeld used it.
You are spot on about the Sopranos and Don't Stop Believing. It has become more popular now than it ever was in 1981.

To all those downvoting me, sorry to burst your nostalgia bubble, but I'm 100% correct. While Don't Stop Believing was a success when initially released, it only made it to #9 in the US and didn't even crack the UK charts. In 2009, it made it to #6 in the UK. It remains the #1 song download on iTunes not from the 21st century. In 2008 and 2009 it was the 72nd and 84th most popular download. The Sopranos finale came out in 2007.
So suck it, I'm right.

So the Stones You can't always get what you want wasn't popular before Californication?
Don't Stop Believing was a hit when it came out, these maybe were made more popular after their use.
Any song for Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction.
As far as songs in commercial, Nick Drake's Pink Moon got tons of exposure long after its release and his death

I'll Be There For You - The Rembrandts (Friends song)
Grew up listening to Journey, this was a hit when it came out. Just became popular with other generations because of TV shows like Sopranos and Glee.

Read the topic. I said made popular, brought back to popularity or a song you make the connection to a movie with.
IF you were a Seinfeld watcher, no way you dont connect the Green Day song with the Seinfeld finale

I watched it religiously as a kid, and I have no clue what you're talking about. That song was huge when it came out.

Spot on. Peaked at #9 in US billboard in the 70's. Made it #2 after being rereleased following Wayne's World.

That Green Day song was used in a bunch of movies around that time. I don't remember it being on Seinfeld. The finale sucked.
