January 12, 20241 yr Author I suppose Calvin Harris although not all of them are highest quality - cough ('Potion') If we are including dance producers then David Guetta would come out on top. You could also suggest ones like Kygo, Avicii, Clean Bandit and others have worked with a variety of names. I think Ed Sheeran and Kylie Minogue are going to be two of the contenders, together with a few other names suggested. How about… Justin Bieber? Collaborated with the likes of Luis Fonsi, Chris Brown, DJ Snake, Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, DJ Khaled, David Guetta, Shawn Mendes, The Kid LAROI, SZA, Juice WRLD, Dan + Shay, Skrillex, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran and plenty more.

I feel like for the most part these are generic US-centric mainstream names anyone could collaborate with.
January 12, 20241 yr If we are including dance producers then David Guetta would come out on top. Although I flippantly dissed Calvin in my earlier post, no way in God's earth is Guetta better than him. The second half of Guetta's career had been formulaic to truly dreadful. Calvin has had loads of truly memorable, huge bangers with biggest stars - Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith,Katy Perry, Rag n Bone Man, Migos/Frank Ocean, Florence Welch, Tineh. And evey song has a different twist. Far more no.1s if we have to use that benchmark. Edited January 12, 20241 yr by Smint

January 15, 20241 yr Not the longest list but I think Gwen Stefani's first three collabs were with Brian Setzer Orchestra, Moby, and Eve, three completely different genres, then she turned to country many years later with her Blake Shelton duets! Some can rack up a ton of collabs from just one project. Look at Dolly Parton's Rockstar album from last year - if you're counting cover songs that is, and the fact that none of them were hits for her.
