R&B singer Chris Brown has a current smash hit with the song Forever, but according to the Huffington Post, the song might just be a glorified advertisement…
What listeners don't know -- and what Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. planned to reveal Tuesday -- is that the song is a commercial.
"Forever" is an extended version of a new Doublemint jingle written by Mr. Brown and scheduled to begin airing next month in 30-second spots for Wrigley's green-packaged chewing gum."
The remix of “Forever” can be found on Chris Brown’s new album, “Four Out Of Five Dentists Recommend Doublemint Gum For Healthy Enamel.”
This type of product placement in songs doesn’t surprise me. There were actually rumors awhile back that Fergie would be doing massive product placement on her next album. Of course she denied this. But really, would you even know the difference between product placement and a regular Fergie song? If the chorus to Fergie’s next song was “I love you more than Doritos, more than Fritos, but not as much as Cheetos,” would anyone bat an eye? It’s still better than “Fergalicious.”
