Everyone needs a little help from their friends (especially on Monday). The well loved artists listed below all lent a hand to their equally talented cohorts for projects that had us screaming everything from “How the hell is that going to work?” to “Oh my god, that’s how,” to our online followers, friends, and blog subscribers. Check out the idobi staff’s favorite musical teams this year, and keep scrolling to find out which collaboration won best of 2015.
—
1. “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” – The Holidaze (John Feldmann, Joel Madden, Alex Gaskarth, Ashton Irwin, Pierre Bouvier) (Tom Cheney)
2. Flaming Lips and Miley Cyrus (Eddie Barella)
3. “Face the Sun” – Miguel featuring Lenny Kravitz (Sherin Nicole)

5. “El Perdón” – Nicky Jam and Enrique Iglesias (Cindy Tenicela)
6. “Where Are You Now” – Jack U feat. Justin Bieber (Kraddy)
7. “Not Your Savior” – No Use and Friends (Brad Lopez)
8. “Tidal Waves” – All Time Low feat. Mark Hoppus (Mike Fishkin)
“Everyone knows that Blink 182 is one of All Time Low’s biggest influences. In the past Mark has written with Alex and we were all expecting an All Time Low song to come out with Hoppus on it and it finally did.”
9. “Split Subscription” – Kevin Devine’s Split Series feat. Owen, Tigers Jaw, Matt Cawes, etc. (Ryan Wapner)
10. “Vicious Love” – New Found Glory feat. Hayley Williams (Alex Bear)
I am dramatically mouthing the words to Hayley Williams’ part in Vicious Love by NFG in silence, alone in my room at 1:30am. Go me.

11. “Irresistible” – Fall Out Boy feat. Demi Lovato + Doug The Pug (Emillie Marvel)
12. “Blessings” – Big Sean + Drake (Dan Brink)
13. Copeland bringing a string quartet with them on tour (Eleanor Grace)
@Emily_Guy1 @idobiradio it takes a great deal of self control to not just play a full hour of Copeland every show

14. “Not Alone” – Kid Arkade feat. Josh Franceschi (Sam Devotta)
15. “Stained Glass Ceilings” – The Wonder Years and Jason Butler (Hannah Pierangelo)
16. “Around The World And Back” – State Champs feat. Ansley Newman (Emily Yee)

17. “Girl Crush” – Andrew McMahon and New Politics (Olivia Carpenter)
“Two-thirds Danish New Politics have had my heart for a while now with their fancy dance moves and sick tunes, but combine them with Andrew McMahon and my high school heart can’t handle it. Their collab of New Politics’ Girl Crush was recorded while the two were on tour together and is an absolute ear blessing.”
18. “One of Them Will Destroy the Other” – Mayday Parade feat. Dan Lambton (Hannah Hines)
19. “Face The Sun” – Miguel ft. Lenny Kravitz (Dana Reandelar)
NEW MIGUEL ALBUM FUCK YEAAAA BABYYYYY
