This is a music trope for the (usually) one song by an artist that everyone knows. It doesn't matter how people know the song — maybe it was all over the radio, maybe it was used in a movie, maybe it was used in a TV show, maybe it was used for an ad that got played over and over and over again — but people know it. These songs tend to be songs with an Epic Riff; they can also be Black Sheep Hits. It's also possible for an artist to have more than one Signature Song, especially one for two or more distinct phases of their career. Whatever the case, these songs are very likely to be awesome. Some of the more rabid members of the artist's fandom may accuse one of not being a true fan for disliking the artist's Signature Song, even if said person may like every other song that the artist has recorded — or, inversely, liking the Signature Song more than what Fanon considers the artist's "real best work". Sometimes the signature song isn't the artist's biggest hit (see Chart Displacement). It also doesn't necessarily run in line with their Signature Style (see Black Sheep Hit). The song can also be famous due to its inclusion in a certain work. The songs that are potholed are examples of these. If they made an appearance in Guitar Hero or Rock Band, it's probably this song. If the artist was a composer of Classical Music, the song is probably a Standard Snippet now. In earlier times, such as the 1930s and 1940s, it was not uncommon for a band or singer to open their set with their signature song or at least a few bars of it, especially when they appeared on radio. With the advent of television talk shows, it also became common for the studio band to play a few bars from the artist's signature song as he or she walked onstage. To stop people from leaving at gigs after they've heard the song,note as what happened a lot to Radiohead with their song "Creep" from Pablo Honey before they developed a larger fandom these songs are normally played live either at the end of the main set or during the encore. Not performing it at all may result in an Iconic Song Request. Some artists or bands will actually avert playing their signature at all. Be it because they consider it an Old Shame, a target of Misaimed Fandom, because they would rather try out some deep cuts on that tour, or any other reason. Some musicians arguably avert this by having several equally famous hit songs; The Beatles, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley being three prominent examples. As such, if they'd left off one of their hits from a show it wouldn't have been such an obvious oversight. That said, certainly some of their songs are more identified with them than others. A Black Sheep Hit is somewhat more likely to fall victim to this, for obvious reasons. Occasionally, an artist can have a signature song that is eventually usurped by another song (although this could be temporary). It's also possible for an artist to have different signature songs in different countries. Additionally, one could have different signatures songs for different audiences. Though a rare occurrence, it's possible for two different artists to have the same signature song. Signature songs may be slightly different from region to region, as well. See One-Hit Wonder for an extreme case of this trope. Not to be confused with Leitmotif or Character Signature Song, which is about signature songs sang by fictional characters. |

Tina Turner — "What's Love Got to Do with It" is easily the signature of her solo career and her entire singing career as a whole. It was even the title of her 1993 biopic. "The Best" could be considered the strongest contender. Her signature song from when she was still paired with her ex-husband Ike is either their cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary", "Nutbush City Limits" or "River Deep, Mountain High"note Despite being credited to Ike and Tina, Ike had no involvement whatsoever . | |

Metallica — While many of their songs are iconic, "Enter Sandman" probably takes the cake here. Not far behind, though, are "Ride the Lightning", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Master of Puppets", "Nothing Else Matters", "One", "The Unforgiven", "Until it Sleeps", "The Memory Remains", "Sad But True", and their cover versions of "Turn the Page" and "Whiskey in the Jar". | |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie at one point features a scene where Bowser sings a Villain Love Song called "Peaches", about his crush Princess Peach. The song quickly became regarded as a highlight of the film, with many "'Peaches', but every time he says 'Peaches', X happens" memes being made out of it shortly after the film released. | |

"Into the Wilderness" is this for the first Wild ARMs game. Its main melody (the part with the whistling) is not only used in the opening, but also in "Courage" (used in Memory Temple, Lolithia's Tomb and most other dungeons with a Temple of Doom theme), "The Power that Supports the World" (The Guardians' theme) and even in other Wild Arms games. It's practically the theme song for the entire series. | |

Inai Inai Baa!: "Guruguru Dokkan!", the 2003-2011 exercise song, is by far the most popular song of that type on the show. It was so popular that several post-2011 Inai Inai Baa!-related media have included the song. The most popular U-Tan Puppet Show song is "Toire de su", the toilet-training song. Toys that play it have been made, and it was one of the few U-Tan Puppet Show songs to be used in the Live on Stage! shows. "Tonton Tomato Chan" is the most popular song segment that doesn't fall into a particular category. Its' popularity among the target audience of the show lead to a sequel song, a short segment that played during the show itself and even a book adaptation. |

Like a Dragon, thanks to sharing a publisher with a certain blue hedgehog (mentioned below), has a lot of iconic tracks, whether we're going by the regular battle themes (e.g., "Funk Goes On" or "Outlaw's Lullaby"), boss themes (there's "Fly", "Assassination of Boddhisattva", and "Pledge of Demon"), or karaoke tracks (e.g., "Baka Mitai" and "24-Hour Cinderella"), or perhaps "Receive You"note Which is the most prominent motif in the entire series, getting a remix at least once per game., it's hard to narrow it down to just one theme. | |

The Weeknd — For some time, it was "Can't Feel My Face" (with "Earned It", "The Hills", "Starboy" and "I Feel It Coming" not far behind), but "Blinding Lights" has likely usurped it, given it has the distinction of being seen by many as the signature song of 2020 itself, as it was the biggest hit song released before the COVID-19 Pandemic, remained near the top of the charts for the remainder of the year, even after other hit songs would see release, and was declared by Billboard itself to be the most successful song in Hot 100 history. | |

Okaasan to Issho: "Dango San Kyoudai" was this in the 1990's era, to the point where the CD single became one of the top-selling singles of all time in Japan. There was also a ton of merchandise based on the song as well as a short based on it that played during episodes of the show. Despite first appearing on the show in 2006, "Boyoyon Koushin Kyouku" has become the most popular song from Okaasan To Issho, spawning many unoffical and official covers. It's also one of the few non-exercise songs on the show to have an extended version. |

When you think The King of Fighters, pretty much any mix of either "ESAKA" or "Stormy Saxophone"note also called by its original Japanese title, "Arashi no Saxophone" (appropriately enough, being the main themes of Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, respectively, the two faces of the franchise) will definitely come to mind. The most iconic iterations of each track originate in, coincidentally, KOF '96, the third entry in the series — being "ESAKA?"note with a question mark to differentiate it from the '94 original and "Stormy Saxophone 2" in particular. | |

Van Morrison — "Brown-Eyed Girl" is his overall biggest hit, and the most popular song of his career among average audiences. Among the most popular classics of Morrison's career, although they weren't all big hits on the charts, are also the Moondance signatures (the Title Track, "Into the Mystic", "Crazy Love" and "And It Stoned Me"), "Have I Told You Lately", "Bright Side of the Road", "Domino", "Days Like This" and the classic he penned with his early career band Them, "Gloria". | |

Rev Theory — "Voices" is undoubtedly their best known song despite never being an actual single that was promoted to radio. This is because it is the longtime theme music for iconic professional wrestler Randy Orton. Technically, it isn’t even an actual Rev Theory song, but rather a solo song by frontman Rich Luzzi (although credited to the band as a whole). | |

Macross Frontier: Sheryl Nome — "Diamond Crevasse", which she sings during a major Music for Courage moment in the anime and the first Compilation Movie and has become iconic among fans for marking a major shift in Sheryl's character development. Ranka Lee — "Seikan Hikou" has become memetic for its prominent usage of Ranka's Kira pose. It has become popular enough that many Nico Nico Douga mashups will feature it. Many people have gone on to Watch It for the Meme because of this song and the gesture, and referencing both has become a common Stock Shout-Out to the franchise in Japanese media. "Diamond Crevasse" and "Seikan Hikou" are so iconic of their respective singers that not only did JUNNA and Minori Suzuki (the singing voices for Mikumo and Freyja in Macross Delta) cover them (the latter song even being sung by a young Freyja in a flashback), but they also got the chance to duet them with both May'n and Megumi Nakajima respectively when they guest starred in one of Walkure's concerts. For both of the Idol Singers — "Lion", the second opening, has become iconic for its usage in the various fight scenes in the anime and Compilation Movies. Like the aforementioned "Seikan Hikou", it features in many different Nico Nico Douga mashups. |

One might even argue it can be viewed as the Signature Song for Walkure as a whole, as its resemblance to Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" has not lead to several different mashups on YouTube, but has led many people around the internet to Watch It for the Meme. Mikumo Guynemer — "Ikenai Borderline", which is another iconic song from Walkure that plays during prominent moments in the series, but is more associated with Mikumo due to it matching her mature and alluring nature. |

Hazbin Hotel: Prior to the show's release, the fanmade turned official song "ADDICT" was the most popular song in the show's fandom, gaining more than a 100 million views, thanks to its exploration of abuse in the porn industry, unhealthy coping, and for just being insanely catchy. "Loser, Baby" has gained its status as the most acclaimed song in the first season's already phenomenal soundtrack. With many fans falling in love with Keith David and Blake Roman's voices. It's simultaneously vulgar, funny, and heartwarming which to many fans means the song perfectly encapsulates everything that makes Hazbin Hotel so enjoyable to watch. Even people who do not like the show or the rest of the soundtrack generally enjoy this song. |

Super Mario Bros.: Due to it playing in the first level of a widely-played game when it first came out, the Ground Theme from Super Mario Bros. is one of the most recognized songs not just in the Super Mario Bros. series and its spinoffs, but in video game history as well. For Super Mario Galaxy, easily the most well-remembered track is Gusty Garden Galaxy, to the point of it becoming the unofficial theme song for the Galaxy games as a whole despite both already having their own official theme songs. |

The Proclaimers — "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" is by far their best-known song, within the UK and internationally. "Sunshine On Leith" is a strong contender, particularly in Scotland for its association with Scottish football*The song has been thoroughly adopted by Hibernian F.C., the team that The Proclaimers support and who play in Edinburgh's Leith area - that's the song their Jukebox Musical is named after, not "500 Miles". | |

The Rolling Stones — "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" was the band's biggest chart hit and is considered the song that made them The Beatles' main rivals. The role is shared nowadays by "Paint it Black", their most streamed song on the internet and one of their biggest hits as well. Of course, there are two non-singles that are particularly iconic, as it often happens in rock music: "Gimme Shelter" and "Sympathy for the Devil". "Start Me Up" is also well-known, and their biggest hit ever on Mainstream Rock. | |

The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII has "One-Winged Angel", the Final Boss theme of the original Final Fantasy VII game and the Bootstrapped Leitmotif for the Big Bad of VII, Sephiroth. It has become one of the most recognizable songs in all of gaming, with its first few notes being near-instantly recognizable (as many reaction videos of Sephiroth getting into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate can testify). | |

The Who — The theme songs to the three core CSI-verse television series ("Who Are You", "Won't Get Fooled Again", and "Baba O'Riley") are generally considered the frontrunners for this status along with "My Generation" and "Behind Blue Eyes" (which are their most streamed songs behind "Baba O'Riley" and very iconic songs in rock history — and in the case of the latter, for being [in]famously covered by Limp Bizkit). Other contenders include "I Can See for Miles" (their biggest commercial hit in the US and the theme song to the relatively forgotten fourth CSI show), and, even more, "Pinball Wizard" (the signature song of the seminal rock opera Tommy, as well as one of their most popular and streamed songs and very often played live). | |

Macross Delta: Freyja Wion — "Rune ga Pikatto Hikattara", the first ED, which debuted near the top of the Oricon charts and for a brief time was the number one song on the Japanese iTunes store. One might even argue it can be viewed as the Signature Song for Walkure as a whole, as its resemblance to Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" has not lead to several different mashups on YouTube, but has led many people around the internet to Watch It for the Meme. Mikumo Guynemer — "Ikenai Borderline", which is another iconic song from Walkure that plays during prominent moments in the series, but is more associated with Mikumo due to it matching her mature and alluring nature. |

Tekken, being around the same age as KOF above, also has had plenty of memorable music throughout its long lifespan. Across the entire series, the most remembered themes are "Black Winter Night Sky" and "Emotionless Passion" from Tekken 2, Jin's Tekken 3 theme, the opening theme from Tekken Tag Tournamentnote which may as well be the main theme for the entire series, since it was remixed in Street Fighter X Tekken to serve the same capacity as the aforementioned Volcanic Rim from Street Fighter IV, "Sparking!" from Tekken 5, "Karma" from Tekken 6, and "Heat Haze Shadow" from Tekken 7. Just to name a few. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: The series has a lot of awesome tracks, though there are two that seem to define the entire series. The first, understandably enough, is Green Hill Zone from the first game, the first level in the entire series and the level most likely to get an homage in later games. The second is "Live & Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2, the franchise's 10th anniversary title, which doubles as both the game's main theme and final boss theme and codified how vocal themes would be handled in subsequent 3D games. The latter is so iconic that it was used as Sonic's theme when he finally made his debut in the Super Smash Bros. series. While the game's unorthodox use of Europop music and the soulful vocals of TJ Davis elevated the entire soundtrack of Sonic R to wider recognition (and appreciation) among the fanbase in the years following its release, there are two standouts: "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" (the theme of Resort Island) and "Super Sonic Racing" (the theme of Radiant Emerald when playing as Super Sonic). While the first can be chalked up to a combination of Level 1 Music Represents and Memetic Mutation involving the Tails Doll, both songs have gone on see mileage in not only other spin-offs (Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Team Sonic Racing), but actual mainline entries (most notably the series' 20th anniversary title), being some of the few times a main installment has acknowledged music from spin-off titles. If that wasn't enough, "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" received an official remix from Sega's sound team in 2019, "Super Sonic Racing" has had the honor of being used in an official series anthem capacity once or twice, and both songs (along with "Number One" from the same game) were selected to be included in an OST that came with the Japan-only Birthday Pack edition of Sonic Adventure 2. From Sonic Frontiers in particular (the series' intended 30th anniversary title), there's "Undefeatable", the theme for the first boss in the game, which in itself is one of that game's Signature Scenes. Being performed by Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens fame certainly helps. |

AC/DC — "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" was Bon Scott's signature song, and so identified with him that Brian Johnson won't perform it. It's also regarded as the band's signature song in their native Australia. Outside of Australia, the signature song of the Scott era is likely "Highway to Hell" or "TNT", although Johnson continues to perform them. For Johnson's songs it's either "Back in Black", "Thunderstruck" or "You Shook Me All Night Long". They have many very popular songs, though. | |

Will Wood: "I / Me / Myself" has the most streams of any song from The Normal Album for its satirical look at gender identity and general applicability in The New '20s. "The Main Character" has become the breakout on "In case I make it". Despite the song being intentionally narcissistic and tone-deaf, it's a lot of fun to sing along to and is undeniably catchy. Many have been quick to associate it with their favorite fictional characters, particularly those of the Evil Is Cool variety. |

While the series has had many memorable songs over its time, the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series is most often associated with the song "Superman" by Goldfinger, to the point where it's even sometimes referred to as "The Tony Hawk Song" despite over a dozen sequels, each with a dozen or so tracks of its own, coming afterwards. The song returned for the first remake "Pro Skater HD", which the developers said was a must to include. It ended up coming to a head in the 2020 remake THPS 1+2, where the song is used on the game's title screen as an official acknowledgement of the song's status among the THPS community. | |

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf has had a lot of different theme songs over its run, but the original theme from season 1 is still the most popular song from the show. The original theme song is still associated with Pleasant Goat several years after the show began using different theme songs.

Twin Tribes — "Fantasmas" is the breakthrough hit that is most associated with them, which the duo even acknowledge. They say it was somewhat expected since the song sticks out in the Ceremony album for being more energetic and intense, with its Spanish chorus being easier to connect to, especially amongst those who speak in two languages since they live in a border town. | |

The music from The Cheetahmen is by far the best-known thing about Action 52, thanks to it being one of the few things about the compilation that is remotely competent. | |

Shaggy — "Boombastic", "Angel", and "It Wasn't Me" are his most iconic songs. Since the latter two are duets with other singers providing the lead vocals (Rayvon and Rickardo "RikRok" Ducent respectively), one could argue that "Boombastic" is Shaggy's true signature, especially thanks to its famous use during the "Biggie Cheese" musical number in Barnyard, which reached meme status around 2016. Not to mention Mr. Bean dancing to it. | |

Kendrick Lamar — While "Swimming Pools" was his first mainstream success, "Alright" won him a Grammy for Best Rap Song and later on became a Black Lives Matter anthem. However, "HUMBLE." seems to have won the title overall. | |

Robbie Williams — Celebrated a very successful solo career after leaving Take That! in the mid-90s. His most popular song would be "Angels" but "Let Me Entertain You" and "Rock DJ" could also be considered, especially with the controversial video for the latter. | |

While the game's unorthodox use of Europop music and the soulful vocals of TJ Davis elevated the entire soundtrack of Sonic R to wider recognition (and appreciation) among the fanbase in the years following its release, there are two standouts: "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" (the theme of Resort Island) and "Super Sonic Racing" (the theme of Radiant Emerald when playing as Super Sonic). While the first can be chalked up to a combination of Level 1 Music Represents and Memetic Mutation involving the Tails Doll, both songs have gone on see mileage in not only other spin-offs (Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Team Sonic Racing), but actual mainline entries (most notably the series' 20th anniversary title), being some of the few times a main installment has acknowledged music from spin-off titles. If that wasn't enough, "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" received an official remix from Sega's sound team in 2019, "Super Sonic Racing" has had the honor of being used in an official series anthem capacity once or twice, and both songs (along with "Number One" from the same game) were selected to be included in an OST that came with the Japan-only Birthday Pack edition of Sonic Adventure 2. | |

SOSchip: "Don't Look Back in Anger.". It's used as prominent Background Music in many episodes of the series, is sung in the episode "Hype Derailed", and in the original fanfic the song is performed multiple times. Several other contenders are "Yonen wa Shinu", Nine Inch Nails' "The Four of Us Are Dying" With Lyrics — and most notably "La Mer", also by Nine Inch Nails. |

Street Fighter IV has the theme of the Volcanic Rim stage, notable in that it effectively became the de facto theme of the entire series from that point on much like the aforementioned SFII intro BGM, particularly with its use in both Street Fighter X Tekken and Project × Zone to represent the associated Street Fighters. | |

Street Fighter: The series has no shortage of memorable tunes from each installment, but across the entire series, Ryu's and Guile's (because it goes with everything) Street Fighter II themes are among the most remembered, with the former being so iconic that the only mainline games where it didn't receive a remix were Street Fighter Alpha 3 (which ditched the longstanding Leitmotifs for new themes), Street Fighter III (where he's completely absent) and Street Fighter 6 (which, much like Alpha 3 and the III series before it, gave completely new themes to its returning characters). And mind you, that's not even getting into the many, many crossovers that Street Fighter has had over its long run. Street Fighter II additionally has the opening theme, which is typically used as "the theme" whenever the series is being represented in crossovers. Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes actually used it as Ryu's theme over the usual Suzaku Castle BGM. Even the 90s cartoon, for all its faults, saw it fit to give the tune a hard rock arrangement to serve as its credits music. And thanks to the magic of Capcom Sequel Stagnation, the version of the opening theme from Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers has been similarly immortalized. Street Fighter IV has the theme of the Volcanic Rim stage, notable in that it effectively became the de facto theme of the entire series from that point on much like the aforementioned SFII intro BGM, particularly with its use in both Street Fighter X Tekken and Project × Zone to represent the associated Street Fighters. |

Without exaggeration, the entire soundtrack to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance can be an easy contender. But if we're going by Memetic Mutation, "Rules of Nature" and "It Has To Be This Way" (the themes for Metal Gear RAY and Senator Armstrong, respectively) are the most well-remembered ones. | |
