Other times,artists must have a breakthroughbefore they can find a perfect pairing.

Additionally,these collaborations carry a lot of weight in music lore.

Then there are those where two artists come together simply because they can.

Elton John and Brandi Carlile

Either way, music fans are fortunate to see it, hear it, and be all about it.

These pop collaborations aren’t just ordinary tunes, they’re anthems that are timeless.

The collaboration between the two ended up on all the airwaves.

The song would wind up at the number-one spot on five differentBillboardcharts.

Most notably,it finished at number 11 on the USBillboardHot 100 chart (2000-2009).

“The song provided the group with a chance to finally collaborate with the legendary Nile Rodgers.

The background is blurred, you can see half of Taylor swift’s face on the left, she has on red lip stick, a black top, and a clear mask covers her face, the right side is half of Kendrick lamar’s face where you can see half of his gotee and medium length hair.

They had been trying to make a collaboration with Rodgers happen since their debut in 1997.

It also gave them an opportunity to work with Pharrell Williams of the hip-hop band N.E.R.D.

These are his 10 biggest hits.

Shakira was coming off an incredible 2005, so to see them together was catching lightning in a bottle.

Just having these two together was great enough.

From their voices to their dance moves, fans were mesmerized.

However, what was incorporated into the track truly stood out.

The risks they took on this track paid off, as it is 3x Platinum in the United States.

The song between the two has already gone 4x Platinum in the United States.

This makes the collaboration that much more special.

Furthermore,their star power resulted in this being the most successful track fromRecovery.

It became synonymous not only with the team, but with the city as a whole.

With over one billion streams on Spotify, this is a certified anthem.

It was in that same year that Michael broke away from the duo to focus on his solo career.

After their breakup at the height of their career, Andrew and George took very different paths in life.

They’d keep up with each other, however.

As for Franklin, she went on to release an incredible seven more studio albums.

This pairing wasn’t exactly one people may have thought of right away, but it ultimately worked.

However, this song was incredibly fierce, and displayed more aggression in the lyrics.

This is another track wherethe significance grew more as time went on.

For Swift, it wasn’t selling out stadiums every night just yet.

Now, that has all changed.

Swift only plays in stadiums and Lamar has come to be regarded as one of the greatest rappers.

If this were released now, there’s no telling how big it could get.

It truly laid the foundation not only for future collaborations, but for artists in general.

In fact,their pairing was so significant that it occurred three times.

Combining Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney brought together two of the most famous musicians of all time.
