October 31, 201311 yr David Guetta has had 2 top 10 hits with both Sia ('Titanium' and 'She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)') and Akon ('Sexy Bitch' and 'Play Hard'). EDIT: Also Chris Willis ('Love Is Gone' and 'Gettin' Over You'). All three of these are a #1 and a smaller top 10 hit. EDIT2: Also Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj ('Where Them Girls At' for both plus 'Club Can't Handle Me' and 'Turn Me On' respectively). Guetta must be the king of this :P EDIT3: And Kelly Rowland ('When Love Takes Over' and 'Commander'). Though I like to forget both of those songs exist. Chris Willis also provided the vocals to 'Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)' too. Not sure if he's credited though. Edited October 31, 201311 yr by gavindeejay
October 31, 201311 yr I'm not sure David Guetta should count, because it was his collaborations that *made* him known - he'd had no real chart success before them. Maybe at the start of his career but I think you'd find it difficult to argue he's not one of the biggest names in music now. Chris Willis also provided the vocals to 'Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)' too. Not sure if he's credited though. You're right, but he wasn't credited. He was credited on the original 'Love Don't Let Me Go' though (which was mashed up with the Tocadisco remix of 'Walking Away' by The Egg to create 'Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)').
October 31, 201311 yr I guess you could qualify Florence and Calvin for this, #1s with Spectrum and Sweet Nothing. Also, Rihanna and Drake had Take Care and What's My Name. Edited October 31, 201311 yr by biophiliac.
