Eminem, Elton John top list of most surprising duets



Rapper Eminem and British singer Elton John have topped a list of the most surprising duets in the history of music.

The pair's 2001 Grammy Award performance of Eminem's hit track 'Stan' beat Aerosmith and Run D M C's 'Walk This Way', which had reached number eight in the UK in 1986, in the list compiled by Entertainment Weekly magazine.

The third place was grabbed by Dusty Springfield and Pet Shop Boys' duet 'What Have I Done To Deserve This'.

Other musical collaborations that featured in the top ten were Bing Crosby and David Bowie's Christmas hit 'Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy' and Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue's 'Where The Wild Roses'.

Eminem is set to perform at this year's MTV VMAs alongside Kanye West, Florence and the Machine, Justin Bieber and Usher.
