Title Track

The most common form of Album Title Drop, a title track is a song on a musical album which shares its name with the album itself. This can be done before or after the fact; as long as the album and one song on it share the same name, it counts.

Bonus points are awarded if the title track contains an actual Album Title Drop. Most albums do this, but it’s such a common (and effective) naming convention that it’s something of an Undead Horse Trope; because if it ain’t broke… More bonus points if the song's title is the same as the band's name.

Note: In order for the example to count, the title of the song has to be an exact match to the album’s title. If the titles are only a partial match, it’s not an example. The one exception is if the song or album title contains a “the,” “a,” or any other common article which is present in one title but not the other.

Naturally, a Sub Trope of Title Drop; also compare Self-Titled Album, where this is done using the band’s name (which can also be combined with this trope). Contrast Non-Appearing Title (the subversion of this trope ) and the most obvious exception to this trope, No Title.

PLEASE LIST ALL EXAMPLES ALPHABETICALLY BY MUSICIAN! This will make examples easier to find. Since this will be a long list, please avoid listing aversions and subversions. Also, please list only the shared title. Listing examples such as “(ALBUM TITLE) has the song (SONG TITLE WHICH IS THE SAME AS ALBUM TITLE)” is too redundant.
