THE TOP 100 BIGGEST “TRANSPORTATION” SINGLES OF ALL TIME

For this list, we countdown the most successful singles of all time that feature a mode of transport in the song title. I’ve kept it to the mention of specific vehicles or devices being present, so no “Locomotion” is this one. A few songs have slightly expanded versions of the vehicle, but as long as it is present, it qualified.

I also left out any mention of “horses”, as while they are use for some transport, it is not their overall purpose. Man-made horses, such as the #100 entry here, counted.

1. THE PUSHBIKE SONG The Mixtures (1970 – HP: #1, WEEKS IN TOP 100: 31)
