How many tracks from Moby's album "Play" were licensed for commercial use?

Play was the first album ever to have all of its tracks(18) licensed for use in movies, television shows, or commercials and this proved a major contributor to the album's success. This is a feat that has been accomplished by only two other artists; Celldweller and Crystal Method. At the time the album came out, Moby explained that he licensed the songs because it was the only way he could get the music heard. Moby's previous album Animal Rights, a foray into the alternative rock scene, had not drawn many listeners, while Moby's earlier music was known primarily to fans of dance and ambient music and had not achieved mainstream recognition in his home country of the United States
