Posted January 20, 20242 yr A post in the 1987 Gallup thread by Bjork made me think this thread might be a good idea in here. How many self titled chart hits have there been? Can’t imagine there’s been too many - the one in the thread that inspired this was ‘Living in a Box’ svVaEWQaoSo&pp=ygUfbGl2aW5nIGluIGEgYm94IGxpdmluZyBpbiBhIGJveA%3D%3D Is this the only one that there is?

January 20, 20242 yr I made quite an exhaustive list of these for a project a while ago, and apart from those already mentioned above, there's: Love City Groove (1995, #7) Jilted John (1978, #4) Liberation (1992, #28) The Age Of Love (1997, #17) The Colourfield (1984, #43) Bel Amour (2001, #23) Hi Tension (1978, #13) 21st Century Girls (1999, #16) I'd be very surprised/impressed if anyone can find any more!
January 20, 20242 yr Killer Queen by Queen There's loads more if we include approximate matches (e.g. Theme From The Monkees, Stray Cat Strut) but I thought we were looking for songs which exactly match the artist name!
