Mars’ longest-charting Hot 100 hit to date, “Uptown Funk!” (56 weeks), is a collaboration. Likewise, Gaga’s two longest-charting hits to date, “Just Dance” featuring Colby O’Donis (49 weeks) and “Shallow” (45 weeks) are collabs.
Their collaborators on these top 10 hits include some of the biggest stars of our time (Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Cardi B, Snoop Dogg) and a few artists whose time in the pop spotlight was comparatively brief (O’Donis, Travie McCoy, B.o.B).
Mars and Cardi B have teamed for two top 10 hits: “Finesse” and “Please Me.” Mars has also had two top 10 hits as half of Silk Sonic. Gaga has yet to land a second top 10 hit with any of her collab partners, though she and Beyoncé, her partner on the No. 3-peaking “Telephone,” landed a second Hot 100 hit, “Video Phone” (which reached No. 65).
Here’s a list of all collaborations involving Gaga and/or Mars that have reached the top 10. The songs are listed in alphabetical order by title. The year shown is the year they peaked on the Hot 100. Now it’s over to you: Which is your personal favorite?
