So I've noticed that Christian music is getting really big these days and is being used in commercials and movies quite a bit now. Post some of your discoveries of christian music being used in mainstream media here.
Here's mine.
Cold Case - KJ52. At the end of one episode it played a whole song of his.
Chuck - The Brothers Martin. I was flipping through channels and saw the show and heard one of their songs "The Missionary" playing in the background.
National Treasure, Ballistic Ecks VS Sever - Andy Hunter. His stuff is just getting huge, one of the biggest dj's around.
I'll post more later.

I think the weirdest one for me was when I was watching The O.C. one night and heard Underoath's "A Boy Brushed Red...Living in Black and White" come on. I think Switchfoot has also been in several shows and commercials, but of the specifics, I am not sure.

Relient K - Sadie Hawkins Dance on Smallville.
POD - Boom on CSI.
Shawn McDonald - Gravity: one of the contestants on So You Think You Can Dance? danced to that.

The Slam and Extreme Days by Tobymac have often been used in trailers or movies...such as Transporter 2, and Prison Break commercials.
Also, caught a remix rendition of P.O.D.s "Lights Out" on TMNT: The Movie....

"All the Words" by Kutless on Scrubs.
I don't really keep up with movies or tv enough to know of many specific examples, so that's really the only one that comes to mind. Other than Switchfoot, which is used in everything.

I'm surprised about the Underoath one. There used to be this show called "Skate" and I heard three or four MxPx songs on it and also some Project 86 and Pax 217. On a commercial for the new Bionic Woman they played a song by Fireflight.

Relient K was in the backgroudn of some shwo my mom watches where the people just moved to Africa, don't know what that's show's called though. And they were also in some commercial that I can't recall, ATM, neither do I recally the songs.
"This is Your Life" by Switchfoot was in the commercials for The Unit.
Mat Kearney and The Fray have both been played in Grey's Anatomy, and a few other places.
Blindside's "Swallow" is on the Need for Speed Underground soundtrack.
I've been told Demon Hunter was in Resident Evil 2, but I've never played, so I'm not sure.
Part of Flyleaf's "I'm So Sick" video was in Live Free or Die Hard.
Those are all I can think of ATM.

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster just got a downloadable song for Guitar Hero II (yes, 2, not 3, sorry). They pulled out Memories of the Grove, so I'll have to play that at some point.
