List Of Most Frequently Mentioned Brands In The Billboard Top 20

The following is a list of most frequently mentioned brands in the Top 20 songs from the Billboard Hot 100. This list was produced by Lucian James, a brand management consultant, as part of his American Brandstand project http://www.agendainc.com/brand.html. James started compiling the list in 2003. Some critics have speculated that it will be revealed that artists were paid to include certain brands in their songs.

Lexus automobiles (48 mentions)
