Noosha Fox's Georgina Bailey sounds like a slowed-down Wooden Heart from Elvis Presley.

Whitesnake's Guilty of Love is pretty much Boys Don't Cry by The Cure.

Lady Gaga - 'Just Dance' & Jason Derulo - 'In My Head'.

Ace of Base - 'Don't Turn Around' & Lady Gaga - 'Alejandro'.

The intro to The Corrs' "Closer" and Adele's "Someone Like You" are almost identical!

Lost and Found by Lianna La Havas sounds like London Grammar's Strong.

Sounds more like Fun. - Some Nights
It sounds so much like it. I thought it was some kind of odd cover version when I first heard it.

Isn't there something that the vast majority of popular songs only use 4 chords?

Indeed! I've been trying to find out if they've got the same producer or production team but to no avail.

As much as I'm a HUGE fan...Paramore's In The Mourning sounds so similar to Fleetwood Mac's Landslide.

Paramore started putting the two songs together on tour, so maybe it was deliberate - In The Mourning/Landslide in Pomona, 2012

Bump for a new one, 'Love Runs Out' by One Republic and 'Love Lockdown' by Kanye West

and 'Sirens' by Cher Lloyd sounds like 'Stay' by Shakespeare's Sister, which is a funny coincidence as she famously performed it on X Factor

Beyonce's "Halo" and Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone"
This example is a tad more than "sounds similar" They sound the SAME thanks to Ryan Tedder. Kelly Clarkson was right to be pissed.

Working on a Dream by Bruce Springsteen is very similar to In My Arms by Teddy Thompson, he should have sued.

I switched off Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl the other day, and a few seconds later the song that was in my head was Take That's Love Love! So these must sound similar ...

Dancing Queen - ABBA (A No.1 Hit in 1976//A No.16 Hit in 1992)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFrGuyw1V8s

Oh Me Oh My Goodbye - Champagne (A Dutch Group. A Dutch No.3 Hit in 1977)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n_lzS2_rk4

Rock And Roll Star - Champagne (A Dutch No.2 Hit in 1976)

(This one 'borrows' bits from 'Fernando' & 'SOS'. The intro sounds like the intro to
'One Of Us', but that ABBA Hit was not recorded until late 1981).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbcondnrBgM

Sound And Vision - David Bowie (A No.3 Hit in 1977)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRc2_-BCljQ

I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass - Nick Lowe (A No.7 Hit in 1978)

Me and my broken heart - Rixton
Lonely no more - Rob Thomas

Exact same structure to the chorus. Written by Rob Thomas. The Wikipedia claim is that it samples Lonely no more... seems more laziness.

Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground
Cake - Short Skirt Long Jacket

The opening verse of What's Up by the 4 Non blonds has the same melody as Don't Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin

Gerry and The Pacemakers Ferry Across the Mersey is basically the exact same tune as Venus in Blue Jeans

The dreadful Saturday Night by Whigfield was just a terrible cover version of Rub a Dub Dub by The Equals (Eddy' Grant's 1960's band)

and how that now forgotten indie band The View got away with Same Jeans which was a total blatant rip off of Brimful of Asha I don;t know

When I was in the shower the Connells' 74-75 came on. It can be a bit harder to listen to the radio in the shower, and during that song the Mercury Rev song Goddess on a Highway came to mind. Both sound similar as gentle cheerful 90s summer songs.

David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
&
Supergrass - Pumping On Your Stereo

Musically very similar and I've found a video mash-up of both tracks to demonstrate that both songs (despite being 25 years apart) do blend quite nicely together...

When I first heard two Zedd songs - 'Clarity' and 'Stay The Night' - I didn't realise they were different songs!

Iggy Azalea Ft Rit Ora- Black widow and Katy Perry Ft Juicy J- Dark Horse:

Now it wasn't until I found out that Katy originally wrote Black Widow before passing it over that I noticed it. The two songs are very similar with DH coming out as the stronger of the two.
