The National Football League saw the largest rise in buzz points, followed by United Airlines, Wells Fargo, Papa John’s, and Chipotle.
The remaining spots went to FIFA Women’s World Cup, Delta, Amtrak, ESPN, and Infinity.
The survey also breaks down most buzzed about brands by industry, from airlines and apparel to snacks and spirits.

YouGov ranked 1,750 brands using a “buzz score,” which is determined by asking consumers if they’ve heard anything about a brand in the last two weeks through advertising, news or word of mouth, and whether it was positive or negative.
The scores are calculated by subtracting the percentage of negative responses from the percentage of positive responses for each brand.
