On the Billboard Hot 100 dated May 11, 1959, “Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb)” by Edward Byrnes and Connie Stevens shot from number 19 to number 4, where it held the highest position for two weeks.

The song became a novelty hit and referenced the character Byrnes played in the television series. 77 Sunset Strip. Despite its lightheartedness, it made history: It became the first Hot 100 top 10 hit by two artists who did not regularly record together, and dates back to the chart’s launch on August 4, 1958.

A few such team-ups made it into the Hot 100’s top 10 in the 1960s, before the practice became more widespread in the 1970s, when well-known artists such as Elton John and Kiki Dee (“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”); John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (“You’re the One That I Want”); and Barbra Streisand shared number one spots with Neil Diamond (“You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”) and Donna Summer (“No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)”).

By the mid-’80s, the Hot 100 timeline had stretched so much that “That’s What Friends Are For” made its own history: While it marked Stevie Wonder’s 27th and John’s 20th Top 10 finishes (as well as Dionne Warwick’s 12th and Gladys Knight’s 8th, all under the name “Dionne & Friends”), the all-star charity single became the first Top 10 single from two acts, each earning a 20th hit in the category.

On the August 31 Hot 100, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” debuted at No. 3 – Mars’ 19th top 10 and Gaga’s 18th. While collaborations have long been a staple of hit music, the ballad is an impressive outlier, becoming the latest rare song to feature at least two acts increasing their count to 15 or more top 10s.

Below, you’ll find a summary of the selected songs with such a star-studded cast and the acts’ top 100 rankings at the time of each entry (or, in honor of Byrnes and Stevens, browse through them). Most notably, Michael Jackson leads the way with three dominant duets, while Drake, Gaga, Ariana Grande, Paul McCartney, Rihanna and Wonder each have two duets.
