I've noticed most of the big motion houses have top 40 or popular songs playing with their reels. Do you think they all have rights to these songs or is just a known thing in that industry that usually slides under the table?

Since the Reel is self promotional and you're not selling it, I always understood that using any music is ok. I could be wrong.
Generally, having custom tracks produced is a bonus, as is getting permission from the recording artist.

it's a grey area, even though reels are self-promo, their intent is to get clients.
I bet you if someone used a fairly popular song and the artist got wind of it ( depending if they are a dick or not), they could have a reason to force you to remove it.

Who knows? they could have gotten permission or not. It's a case-by-case thing.

I'd try and be safe and get permission.
With all the viral marketing out there, were I an artist I'd be stoked to have my song associated with some slick graphics...
Just a month ago I tracked down the Go Team disc because it was so striking on someone's reel.
