Don't really agree with you about that one

Leona Lewis - Save Myself (2009) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf9erl2HM-8
One Republic - Light It Up (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9rJnVEwadE

I actually like that they sound similar though because SM is one of my favourite unreleased tracks, and it seemed to have 'evolved' into Light it Up (Ryan produced Save Myself)

John Travolta's Greased Lightning sounds like Peter Blake's Lipsmacking Rock&Rolling

The Nolans' Don't Make Waves sounds like Tina Charles' Dance Little Lady Dance

The Theme from Brookside has a similar opening to Simple minds' Life in a Day

Kodaline's The One sounds like 'Billionaire' by Bruno Mars and Travie McCoy and a section of 'No One' by Alicia Keys

'Where I Belong' by Hometown sounds very like 'All I Want' by Kodaline IMO although Kodaline did write the song

Whenever the first few seconds of the new Will Young song comes on the radio (Love Revolution), I always think "Under my Thumb, The Stones, yeeeaaahh!!", then get very disappointed. They don't sound that similar when played back to back I suppose.

If we can extend to pop tunes then 'Telstar' by The Tornados (1962)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0jUvufQgQo

sounds like the TV theme to 'The High Chaparral'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uaoxX9OU1Q


'Talk' by Coldplay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH9meoWmAOM

sounds like
'Computer Love' by Kraftwerk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtWTUt2RZh0

'Music' by John Miles (1976) - the orchestral fanfare bang in the middle (03:00) of 'Music' would two years later be heard as the theme to Blake's 7.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAsvjVx-Mg4

'Blakes 7' by Dudley Simpson.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0YLevRJ1nA

Sticking with Blake's 7 .... 'Space Harrier' - the 1985 Sega arcade video game.

Dawn feat. Tony Orlando - Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree
Brotherhood Of Man - Save Your Kisses For Me

The intro, verses and the backing music of these two songs are very similar. I only realised when Tie A Yellow Ribbon came on the radio recently and I started singing Save Your Kisses For Me and I realised I was singing the wrong song.

You're Beautiful by James Blunt

Fair enough, I don't follow Coldplay so I'm not likely to read up on them but I will throw this one that I found after I followed your link which led me to something else
'Viva La Vida' by Coldplay sounds like 'If I Could Fly' by Joe Satriani

Sir Douglas Quintet's She's About a Mover sound like a cross between Can I Get a Witness and the Beatles' She's a Woman

Isn't "Supreme" by Robbie Williams a semi-cover of "I will Survive"?

No, "Supreme" just samples "I Will Survive".

Part of the chorus of Jesse Glyn's Don't So Hard On Yourself sounds like She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain When She Comes.

Ariana Grande - Focus sounds like Kelly Rowland - Can't Nobody and, to a lesser extent, Liberty X - Jumpin'.

One Direction - History seems to have copied Girls Aloud - Whole Lotta History.

Let's Marvin Gaye and Get It On sounds like Atomic Kittens Whole Again during the end of the chorus.
