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'.
