Posted April 4, 20251 yr Given everyone's favourite rapper is inside the UK Top 10 right now with a song titled after a once-popular mobile brand, what other examples can you list of hits named after a business? If it needs extending to Top 20 hits we can make it so, but make sure it is a legitimate business name or brand that people will recognise as such.
April 4, 20251 yr I don’t think she had the company in mind but Charli xcx - ‘Apple’ was the first to come into my head nevertheless
April 4, 20251 yr cassö, RAYE & D-Block Europe - Prada (as well as D-Block Europe and RAYE's original version Ferrari Horses, albeit not a top 10 hit)Addison Rae - Diet Pepsi (even triggering the BBC to call it "Diet P" on air cause it's a brand name x)
April 4, 20251 yr “Rover” by S1mbaNot Top 10 but “Starbucks” by ANot sure if we’d count something like “Life On Mars”
April 4, 20251 yr On the car theme… just thought of a more retro example: Natalie Cole - ‘Pink Cadillac’
April 4, 20251 yr Author Why hasn't there been a big hit about an iPod or a Walkman over the years? Vintage tech
April 4, 20251 yr “iPod stuck on replay” not a snappy enough title for Iyaz!Another one (sorry for the spitballing… this is fun), Madonna - ‘Vogue’, technically named after the ‘vogueing’ dance moves, but those are inspired by the fashion brand
April 4, 20251 yr Afroman's number 10 hit "Crazy Rap" is also known as "Colt 45 and 2 Zig Zags", of course Colt 45 is a brand of liquor
April 4, 20251 yr Author I know it doesn't count for this but I just remembered this parody that I had to share in here again! 😆
April 4, 20251 yr James Hype And Miggy Dela Rosa - Ferrari (#6, 2022)Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (#7, 1991) - Teen Spirit was a brand of deodorant. From Wikipedia: the title derives from a phrase written by [Kurt Cobain's] friend Kathleen Hanna, the singer of the riot grrrl band Bikini Kill: "Kurt smells like Teen Spirit."Not a Top 10 hit but Manic Street Preachers - Ocean Spray (#15, 2001) is named after the drink of that brand.
April 4, 20251 yr There's a band out there who've had 23 top 10 hits and are named after a brand owned by Coca-Cola, the go-to choice of drink at McDonald's... think they're called Sprite or something Edited April 4, 20251 yr by gasman449
