Background Music - Foreground Music

Foreground Music

In opposition to background music, foreground music is intended to be listened to actively. Lifestyle companies, in particular, like to employ foreground music, individually compiled and scheduled to increase customer loyalty and time spent in their stores. However, sometimes the opposite effect is achieved: if the music proves to be too intrusive, it may drive people out of the store. Very often these companies have professional DJs select music matching their brand. In most cases currently popular chart music is used.
