Santana f/ Chad Kroeger - "Into The Night"

Think of a wildly successful band that's hated almost more than it's loved.  Justin Beiber?  You could probably put him at the top of the notorious list up until his most current album.  How about Nickelback?  Bingo!  Despite the band's haters, Nickelback is the second-best selling foreign act in the US (next to The Beatles!) and has racked up more than 50 million album sales worldwide.  It's tough to argue with numbers like that, yet Nickelback always seems to turn up near the top of informal lists of most-disliked bands.  Lead singer Chad Kroeger joined forces with guitar legend Carlos Santana for one of a few new tracks on Santana's Ultimate Santana compilation disc.  The result was a tune that was all over the radio in 2007.

The Beatles - "Free As A Bird"

Things that no one expected to hear radio DJ's say in 1995: "Here's the new one from The Beatles...".  "Free As A Bird" was the product of old John Lennon recordings mixed with the studio work of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison.

Boyz II Men - "On Bended Knee"

Lost in the shuffle of "I'll Make Love To You" was "On Bended Knee"...Boyz II Men's other big hit from their second album (properly entitled II).  The significance of "On Bended Knee" is that it replaced "I'll Make Love To You" atop the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.  The last group who did this?  The Beatles.
