When Gary Barlow went solo, his second No.1 single, 'Love Won't Wait', was written by Madonna.

Spinning Around by Kylie, written by Paula Abdul & Kara wharsername. (The other woman judge from American Idol).

I know there will be hundreds of instances of songs like this, but anybody know of anymore?

It was written by both Pet Shop Boys. I'd love to have heard their version

One of Melanie Cs biggest hits 'First Day Of My Life' (not actually released in the UK) was written by Enrique Iglesias & Guy Chambers.

A few of Michael Jackson hits were written by R Kelly. 'You Are Not Alone', 'Cry' and 'One More Chance'.

Maybe there's a demo version on Chris's computer that will see the light on some future deluxe re-issue of Yes.

I was under the impression it was mostly written for Stripped with Christina, but left unused so Kelly got it and helped finish it off?

The One And Only by Chesney Hawkes written by the legend Nik Kershaw.

Kershaw is a fantastic talent. His 15 Minutes album was one of the best records of the 90's.

Chesney on the other hand.....

This is such a good thread. I'd forgotten how many of these songs were written by other big names.
