[via press release from ABC]

ABC ENTERTAINMENT AND A&M RECORDS PARTNER TO PRODUCE A MUSIC VIDEO USING SNOW PATROL�S SMASH SUCCESS, �CHASING CARS,� AND VIDEO CLIPS FROM HIT SERIES �GREY�S ANATOMY�

Video Available at ABC.com Until August 14th

Snow Patrol�s �Chasing Cars� was vaulted to the Top 10 list on iTunes after it aired during the closing moments of the season finale of ABC�s hit medical drama, �Grey�s Anatomy.� Due to the tremendous response, ABC Entertainment and A&M Records have partnered to create a music video combining clips from �Grey�s Anatomy� and the song �Chasing Cars,� which is available at ABC.com until August 14th. The video debuted on the ABC Television Network Saturday night during an airing of �The Rookie.�

�The overwhelming response to �Chasing Cars�� incorporation into the season finale of �Grey�s Anatomy� created an opportunity for ABC to connect with fans in a creative and innovative way,� said Mike Benson, senior vice president, Marketing, ABC Entertainment. �Making a video montage available for a limited time gives fans a deeper emotional experience that occurs when these two elements are combined.�

�This truly shows the power of a great working relationship between television and music,� commented Steve Berman, president of Sales and Marketing for Interscope Geffen A&M. �The reaction we received from �Grey�s Anatomy� placing �Chasing Cars� in the season finale was so immediate and widespread that it became a mini-phenomenon. To be able to take that and use it as a starting point for continued exposure of a great band and song has been a fantastic opportunity for us.�

Knight as George O�Malley, Sandra Oh as Cristina Yang, Katherine Heigl as Isobel �Izzie� Stevens, Chandra Wilson as Miranda Bailey, Isaiah Washington as Preston Burke, Justin Chambers as Alex Karev, Kate Walsh as Addison Shepherd and Sara Ramirez as Dr. Callie Torres.

Shonda Rhimes (�Introducing Dorothy Dandridge�) is creator and executive producer. Mark Gordon (�Saving Private Ryan�), Betsy Beers (�Casanova�), Peter Horton (�thirtysomething�) and Krista Vernoff (�Law & Order�) are executive producers. �Grey�s Anatomy� is a Touchstone Television Production.

After releasing two acclaimed albums on U.K. indie label Jeepster, Snow Patrol found runaway worldwide success with their third LP, �Final Straw.� The band recently opened for U2 on their �Vertigo� tour and have seen �Eyes Open� reach No. 1 on the U.K. charts.
