Singer/group featured in the most movies and name the movies...
I was just watching "Leaving Las Vegas" again last night and damned if Sting didn't feature prominently throughout the movie. I know he is on so much, "Lethal Weapon 3" , "Leon: The Professional", "Cold Mountain" to name a few that i remember him in.
I know Queen has been in a lot, from "Flash Gordon" to "Highlander" and "Wayne's World" to "Shaun of the Dead".
So what other artists and what movies feature them the most?

I seem to be hearing Tom Jones "It's not unusual" a lot in movies lately. Too bad I can't think of any.
A different question, but still kind of related. Besides The Wall (And the Wizard of Oz,2001,Alice in Wonderland stuff) have any Pink Floyd songs ever appeared in movies?

Her songs were in at least 33 movies, including Snatch which I think is the funniest inclusion. She's the "composer" in 34 movies, and acted in 23.
Elvis's songs were in at least 40 movies. He's the "composer" in 22 movies and acted in 31.
Advantage: Elvis.

I don't know the title or the artist, but the song goes, "Money money money moNAY! MON-AYY-AYY" and it seems to be a part of every movie that concerns...well, moNAY.

I'll bet you she beats Elvis. She's already beaten another one of his records.

How about people like LL Cool J?
I know a lot of rappers star in straight to video trash, and usually have a song on the soundtrack as well.
Coolio and Treach to name a couple

Bing Crosby was in scores of movies, although he didn't sing in all of them. He was a huge star in movies, radio, records, and TV, arguably as big a star as anyone in the last century.

Kenny had nothing to do with the Vacation movies.
If you're thinking of "Holiday Road' -- that was Lindsey Buckingham of Fleertwood Mac
