1. Iggy Azalea (feat. Charli XCX) - Fancy

Often considered to be the Australian's breakout hit, Fancy was Azalea's first ever entry on the US Hot 100, despite being the fourth single of her heavily-delayed debut collection The New Classic. In the UK, we had already seen glimpses of Iggy edging close to the top 10, breaking it with her third attempt 'Change Your Life (feat. T.I)'. Fancy peaked at number one the US, becoming the rappers first and only (thus far) number one single in the US and stayed there for seven weeks. In the UK, Fancy peaked at number five, becoming Azalea's highest charting single at the time (and Charli's second top five single, following her previous number one with Icona Pop's 'I Love It'). The song was first titled 'Leave It' leaking in late 2013, and was released in February 2014, selling over 9,000,000 copies worldwide becoming one of the best selling singles of all time. The song was also named the most streamed song in the US in 2014.

2. Iggy Azalea (feat. Rita Ora) - Black Widow

The fifth single from The New Classic, Black Widow saw Iggy team up with another British songstress, this time being Rita Ora. The 'femme-fatale' anthem proved itself to be nothing of Fancy's 'shadow' and a success in it's own right, peaking at number 3 on the US Hot 100, and number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, her highest charting single to date. Much like Fancy, the song's video is partly responsible for it's success. The video sees Rita and Iggy become females in power, plotting revenge, styled much like a Quentin Tarantino movie. The song sold over 3,000,000 copies in the US alone, and was a commercial success across the world. It also marked the first time Ora reached the top three in the US.

US: 3
UK: 4
AUS: 15

3. Charli XCX (feat. Rita Ora) - Doing It


The third single from Charli's second studio collection 'Sucker', 'Doing It' was a UK only release in February of 2015, but still captured the attention of bloggers worldwide with it's funky, girl-power music video. Doing It was originally just an XCX track, but for it's single release it received the remix treatment and marked the first time the pair collaborated together. The song peaked at number eight in the UK, staying in the top 100 for 11 weeks before dropping out, becoming XCX's fourth top 10 hit and Ora's tenth, selling over 200,000 copies. Although the least successful of the three collaborations commercially, the limited release of Doing It meant it didn't receive full promotion stateside.

Charts:
US: N/A
UK: 8
AUS: 68
