From Billboard:

CULT OF PERSONALITY: What do Johnny Cash, Jane Fonda, Grace Kelly and Tim McGraw have in common? They're all on the Billboard charts this week -- not as artists, but as song titles.

"Tim McGraw" (Big Machine) has already been a top 10 hit for new artist Taylor Swift on Hot Country Songs. This week, the track slides 3-5 on Country Songs Recurrents. The latest country song sporting a title that is the name of another country artist is "Johnny Cash" (Broken Bow) by Jason Aldean. The song named after the Man in Black is a new entry at No. 44.

"Jane Fonda" (myspace/Interscope) is a debutante on Modern Rock Tracks. The song by newcomer Mickey Avalon enters in the anchor spot, No. 40.
Finally, "Grace Kelly" graces The Billboard Hot 100 via the debut single from Beirut-born Mika. The U.K.'s No. 1 single is a new entry at No. 81.

These are not the first songs to sport names of well-known personalities. Kim Carnes had a No. 1 single with "Bette Davis Eyes" and an early Bananarama song was titled "Robert DeNiro's Waiting." But it is unusual to have a convergence of four songs, all simply titled with the first and last name of a celebrity.

If the trend continues, who will be the first to record "Kelly Clarkson"?

I feel like I've already heard a song called Kelly Clarkson, actually.

You might be thinking of "You Know I'm No Good" by Amy Winehouse when Ghostface Killah mentions her? That was what I thought of when I read that.

[Robert J]

Nope, haven't heard that one. I'm other thinking of a different song that name-checks her or just of "The 40 Year Old Virgin"

+144 Close to reaching Top 20.......i've grown to like this song......But i guess Country doesnt like this as much it's taking Forever to take off......The bullet isnt impressive.......Can't wait for his new album though i hope its as good as his last one......
