Replying to Music for promotional edits

So the marketing manager at the mountain I work for wants me to start making weekly edits this season, but I'm a bit unsure of the rules as far as music goes. I've seen IRPC and Carinthia use songs by well known artists, I can't imagine that they've gotten the rights to those songs, but they're bigger mountains so I guess it is possible. Just want to make sure I'm not going to get the mountain in trouble, cause there's no way they'll let me purchase rights to mainstream songs. Would I be better off just using right-free music (it has to be "family friendly" music anyways, so just beats/no lyrics is the safest approach)?
