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.

    And Talk Talk!

I don’t think she had the company in mind but Charli xcx - ‘Apple’ was the first to come into my head nevertheless lol

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)

“Rover” by S1mba

Not Top 10 but “Starbucks” by A

Not sure if we’d count something like “Life On Mars”

Just remembered that Bad Boy Chiller Crew - ‘BMW’ went top 10

On the car theme… just thought of a more retro example: Natalie Cole - ‘Pink Cadillac’

“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

My drink contribution is Lil Mosey - Blueberry Faygo (#9)

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

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.

Maybe "Barbie World" - Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice with Aqua?

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

Jonas Blue, Liam Payne & Lennon Stella - Polaroid (#11, 2018)
