M&Ms Brings Back Its Nostalgic Aloe Blacc Ad

By Karen Fratti 

Each week, iSpot.tv brings Lost Remote their rankings of the top ads according to digital share of voice, tracking online views and social actions connected to each ad. Here’s the top ten for this week.

Three commercials in the ranking are just like mini music videos — there’s  Xbox’s “Start Me” spot, starring the Broncos’ Von Miller spoofing Justin Bieber’s “Sorry,” the intense Adidas “Your Future Is Not Mine” ad and the recurring favorite M&M’s spot at No. 4, “Candyman.”

The long-running M&Ms ad celebrating the candy’s 75th anniversary is an old favorite for the candy company. According to iSpot, M&Ms likes to run it, retire it briefly, then run again, retire, and repeat. Every time it does well, hooking viewers not only through its catchy song and the star power of its performers Aloe Blacc and Zedd, but also because of that no-fail nostalgia.
