# Interactive One-Hit-Wonder Apps Sir Mix-A-Lot's Facebook App Has Your Back By Carly Foy | Published 2011-06-23 | Celebs Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sir-mix-a-lot References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2011/06/21/sir-mix-a-lot-facebook-game/) & [giantthinkwell](http://www.giantthinkwell.com/mixnmatch/) Rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot, most notably known for his song Baby Got Back, has created an interactive [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app) app for his fans. The application is a simple idea. Users are asked to answer questions based on two choices in an either-or style. But the answers need to be based on the rapper's or your friends' choices versus your own. If he guesses correctly, the user will earn "Hype" points. Once the user has enough Hype points, they can purchase [virtual goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-app) like a shout-out in a Sir Mix-A-Lot video. The Sir Mix-A-Lot app is called MixNMatch and was created by interactive shop Giant Thinkwell. This game is the perfect app for Facebook users who can appreciate the rapper's attempt to promote fan interactivity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Social Media Apps:** There is an opportunity to create interactive apps on social media platforms that promote fan interactivity and engagement. - **Gamification in Music Promotion:** By incorporating gamification elements into music promotion, artists can incentivize fans to participate and earn rewards. - **Virtual Goods Economy:** Creating a virtual goods economy within apps can provide a new revenue stream for artists and increase user engagement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Media Marketing:** Marketing agencies can capitalize on the trend of interactive social media apps to help artists and brands engage with their audiences. - **Music and Entertainment:** The music industry can explore opportunities to incorporate gamification strategies in promotion to attract and engage fans. - **App Development:** App developers can tap into the growing demand for interactive apps and virtual goods economies, offering innovative solutions for artists and brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Engaging Rap Trivia Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rap-trivia.md) - [Music Quiz Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotiguess.md) - [Music Guessing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heardlepedia.md) - [Revamped Snack Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traditional-chex-mix.md) - [Musician Guessing Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotle-unlimited.md) - [Music-Themed Fashion Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upstream.md) - [Music Investment Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-investment.md) - [Event-Based Social Networking Applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-1.md) - [Question-Prompting Music Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotify-song-feature.md)
