At the BBC

A selection from the BBC's music archives showcasing those hits that saw artists and acts joining forces to bring something new and unique to the UK charts. These are some of the biggest and best collaborations that remain classics to this day, featuring George Michael and Aretha Franklin, Eminem and Dido, Nelly and Kelly Rowland, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, Meat Loaf and Cher, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan.

The singer looks back on his career, with archive performances of Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home), Love of the Common People, and Every Time You Go Away. Interwoven with clips of these classic songs, Paul reflects on his journey through fame, the stories behind his most memorable tracks, and the experiences that shaped his career, from the early days with the Q-Tips, to solo fame in the 1980s right up to the present day.

Another celebration of artists who lit up the charts exactly once before slipping mysteriously out of view, including Jennifer Paige's Crush, the 1998 hit that defined a summer, alongside the off-kilter charm of Jimmy the Hoover's Tantalise (Wo Wo Ee Yeh Yeh) from 1983. This instalment digs deeper into the vaults to unearth more unforgettable one-offs and near misses, reminding why the charts remain such a thrilling, unpredictable arena.

Scott Mills looks at the greatest musical moments from the long-running charity, including chart-topping performances by Adele, One Direction and the Spice Girls, as well as rarely seen highlights from Sam Smith and John Legend, Justin Bieber, Marti Pellow, McFly - and Helen Mirren and Robbie Coltrane.
