Only one question remains: which high-profile male-female duet is your favorite?

Lady Gaga's slinky synthesizer jam "Do What U Want" wasn't supposed to be an official single from the singer's forthcoming "ARTPOP" album, but due to the wildly positive reaction to the track, the R. Kelly guest spot will be impacting Top 40 radio. The newly christened single debuts at No. 13 on this week's Hot 100 chart, offering a mid-tempo change-up from the dance-pop of Gaga's latest Top 10 single, "Applause."

Meanwhile, Eminem and Rihanna found massive chart success before with "Love The Way You Lie," which topped the Hot 100 chart and became the biggest hit off of Em's smash 2010 album "Recovery." Their new collaboration, "The Monster," presents the most radio-friendly track from "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" released thus far, after "Berzerk" and "Rap God" previewed the album for hip-hop purists.

And don't sleep on "Dark Horse" -- although Katy Perry's "PRISM" cut with Juicy J is not an official single, the track jumped 29 spots to No. 28 on this week's Hot 100 chart following the pop star's latest album release. With crackling trap production courtesy of Dr. Luke, Max Martin and Cirkut, "Dark Horse" gleefully infuses some grime into the "Roar" singer's shine.
