238,000 “the hit parade”
207 “the hip parade”
The “hit parade” is a list of songs arranges in order of popularity. The “hip parade” might be thought of as an event that is “hip.” (There may even be an influence from “hip – hip – hooray!” Or, would you believe, “hip – hip – parade!” as a derivative eggcorn of this whole concept?) But my main though about “the hip parade” is that those who use it probably have no idea that it derived from “the hit parade”—and that’s enough to make it an eggcorn.
