Elton John and Kiki Dee recorded # 1 hit "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" in 1976 and # 2 "True Love" in 1993.

 

Is it the unique fact or there were any other samples (even with not such big hits) ?

Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye had a few together.

Barry Gibb and Barbara Streisand did several collabs together.

A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera followed up 'Say Something' with the less successful 'Fall On Me' in 2020:

 

Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne had Rather Be and Real Love, both in 2014

Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull of course

The Kid LAROI featured on Justin Bieber's album track Unstable a few months before their mega hit STAY came out. Laroi has several other examples - multiple collaborations with Lil Tecca, Juice WRLD, Polo G, Lil Durk and YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Definitely a pretty common occurrance in the rap world (although perhaps not an identical combination of artists, e.g. Laroi's second song with Lil Tecca also involved Lil Skies on the Lyrical Lemonade album).

In 2022 we got SG Lewis ft. Tove Lo, and Tove Lo ft. SG Lewis within a week of each other :lol: and they're apparently working on more together atm!

Calvin & Ellie, Calvin & Dua, Calvin & Sam Smith, Calvin & Rag N Bone etc he likes to repeat

 

Taylor & Ed Sheeran also had a few I think (Everything has changed, End game, Run, The joker and the queen)

 

Prince & Sheena Easton back in the day had U Got the Look first and The Arms of Orion later

Lady Gaga and Beyoncé had both 'Telephone' and 'Video Phone' :lol:

Dr Dre and Eminem.

Shaggy feat. Rayvon - they had a #21 with 'Something Different' in 1996, before their #1 with 'Angel' in 2001.

Funnily enough, Drake & Kendrick Lamar :lol:

Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson with The Girl Is Mine and Say Say Say.

Shaggy feat. Rayvon - they had a #21 with 'Something Different' in 1996, before their #1 with 'Angel' in 2001.

Rayvon also featured on 1995’s In The Summertime

Eve and Gwen Stefani with Let Me Blow Ya Mind and Rich Girl!

Ed Sheeran and Camilla Cabello 'Bam Bam' and 'South of the Border'

You could argue that Calvin Harris and Florence have two number 1 singles - although it's more of a collaboration, depending on how strictly you count a 'duet' as two vocalists or not.

Most US rappers of the last 5 years or so could probably listed here in various combinations :lol:

 

It feels like most US rap albums feature at least a couple of: Travis Scott, Lil Baby. Young Thug, Gunna, Future, 21 Savage, Travis Scott, Lil Durk, Offset, Don Toliver and a couple of others.

Brandy & Monica - The Boy Is Mine (1998)

Brandy & Monica - It All Belongs To Me (2012)
