The first song they seem to play upon boarding (relaxing one with vocals) is "Hold You Inside" by Lumin Bells. I was surprised that they didn't pick a pop hit by a big name. It's a pretty nice song.

I enjoyed the version of Radioactive that I've heard on my last few flight. I did not enjoy hearing Blurred Lines.. What a crappy song to choose!

Thanks to all that named this. The song has been played on every AA flight I've boarded for the last 3 months or so. Was surprised to learn that it was actually contemporary. I thought it was something from the 70's.

Have they stopped playing this now? I've been on two 738 flights in the past week where it wasn't played.

On my last AA flights in December, I heard Radioactive (Imagine Dragons), One (U2), Brave (Sara Bareilles), and I Gotta Feeling (Black Eyed Peas). I'm hoping I'll get Counting Stars on one of my next flights in April.

AA NERD ALERT: Does anyone have any idea what the music is when you're on hold with AA? I've these songs so many times that they've become familiar, so I'd like to know what songs they are/where they got the music from. Anyone!?

For the inflight songs, I'm guessing we can find clues here: http://www.americanairlinesentertain...sic?channel=12
Just replace the month and year in the URL with the current one.
As for the phone ones, I'm curious too.
Also, can anyone tell what background music is played from this video taken by a fellow FTer(below)? BTW these are the new 763 seats.

I would love to know who does the piano versions of the songs played on boarding/disembarking right now (May 2014) - my friend is a huge Pearl Jam fan, and I would blow his mind, in the funniest possible way, with the piano version of "Better Man" they have right now.
