Alexandra Patsavas, the noted music supervisor on Tru Calling, Supernatural, Shark, and more notably The O.C. and Grey's Anatomy which both spanned multiple commercially successful soundtracks, is also being credited for the selection of music used on Gossip Girl. In contrast to her consistent use of independent music and alternative artists on those two shows, Patsavas incorporates current Top 40 hits on the series explaining, "I'm relying on old favorites while exploring current pop music. And since the show revolves primarily around high school students in New York, we'll definitely be using some New York-based bands. But these kids listen to the radio, too."[8] Transcenders wrote the score for the show. They also wrote and recorded the music for Lincoln Hawk, Rufus Humphrey's fictitious band. Also featured are a mildly known Australian Band 'Eskimo Joe'.
The show features a musical mix of indie rock, pop-tronica and local NYC artists. Some well-known bands whose songs have featured on the show include Angels & Airwaves, The Virgins,The Kills, Nine Inch Nails, Lady GaGa, Republic Tigers, The Ting Tings, Say Hi, Kings of Leon, The Little Ones, Bloc Party, Cold War Kids, Coconut Records and MGMT. An original soundtrack, OMFGG - Original Music Featured on Gossip Girl No. 1, was released in October 2008. The iTunes version includes two original songs from the show: "Everytime" by the fictional band Lincoln Hawk, and "Glamorous" a cover of the Fergie song by The Constance Billard Choir, a fictional choir in the show.
The Pierces, Cyndi Lauper, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, and No Doubt (as the fictional band "Snowed Out") have guest starred in the show as of season 2.
