Really good list Well Done! although i noticed that "Despacito" was on their and luis fonsi has had another top 20 hit in the form of Baby with Clean Bandit & Marina

 

I hear you. However, I don't credit "featured" artists, only "and" and "with".

Yes, No. 56 on the Imperfect list...

Owl City also had a top 5 hit with Good Time!

 

Ah yes! With Carly Rae Jepsen, thank you, edits...

24kGoldn had a top 10 hit with Clean Bandit on Tick Tock, guessing Mood should be on the imperfect list as a collaboration between 24kGoldn and iann dior?
