BBC 6 Music have unveiled their Top 40 Duets as voted for by their listeners. But which ones are the best? Canon rules apply, THIRTEEN ticks across the lot. Some stretch the definition of 'duet' slightly!

This list makes me realise I am more likely to think duets are overrated than any other kind of pop!

Hmm, fairly interesting definitely of 'duets' there. Lots of songs that are x band featuring y guest vocalist? Band Aid?!

They need a dictionary.

Hardly any of these are especially inspiring, particularly when you think about how many AMAZING duets have existed in the world! WHERE IS 'DILEMMA'??

stretching the definition slightly, as both lead vocalists are in the same group, but my ipod has just shuffled onto 'Turntable' by TLC, which, as it comes from the third album, is a duet between T-Boz & Chilli, and is one of my favourite TLC singles. Never understood why it wasn't a hit.

further decent duets

-Poe & Conjure One- That Song I Can't Remember The Name Of Off The Top Of My Head
-Kelis and ODB- Got Yr Money
-Kelis and Nas- In Public (poss. favourite duet ever actually now I think about it)
-Abs and Eve- Seven Ways
etc etc etc etc etc

At least the Babyshambles/Kate Moss thing wasn't on there.

I think my dislike of Fairytale... puts me in the minority. Sorry!

The video to Bowie and Bing is a joy, I almost ticked it on that basis.

This actually came top, did it not? Top vote-fixing by chieftains-forum.ie there I suspect!

I refuse to vote in this poll on account of it being rubbish.

The best kind of duet is the hip-hop argument, clearly.

No mention of Allure ft. 112's cover of Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's 'All Cried Out'? I'm very disappointed.
