Needle Drop is a method of music licensing that requires a producer to pay a fee each time they synchronize a tune with a TV show, film or commercial. Also referred to as Laser Drop music following the introduction of CDs, the name's origin comes from bygone days when a phonograph needle was dropped onto a record track.
