It seems that every week, a hot new musical collaboration hits the web. This time around, B.o.B. teamed up with America's country sweetheart Taylor Swift for their new single Both of Us! And it got us at Hollywire thinking about our favorite collabs that have stuck in our heads and stayed in our rotation over the past year. With so many out dynamic duos, it's hard to pare down the best. But hey, we'll give it a shot.

For the latest edition of My Monday Playlist, check out our favorite collaborations of late -- and let us know which YOU jam out to on the reg.

B.o.B. & Taylor Swift – Both of Us

Many might not have even imagined these two coming togetherfor a song, since they are on opposite sides of the music world. All we have tosay is we’re so happy they did!

Maroon 5 & Wiz Khalifa – Payphone

Just when you thought Payphone couldn’t get any better withAdam Levine’s perfect vocals (swoon...), Maroon 5 added some Wiz Khalifia totake it to the next level. Nice touch, fellas. Nice touch.

Jay-Z & Kanye West – N**gas in Paris

This song blew up the minute it was released and people went nuts for it! Not to mention inspiring some amazing parody videos. While this track is our fave, the entirety of their album Watch the Throne is crazy-good, as you know. Even a nearly year after its release, we can't stop listening.

Nicki Minaj & Chris Brown – Right By My Side

Nicki Minaj has done a number of different collaborations inthe past, but her recent one with Chris Brown has just stuck with us. Plus, themusic video for the song featuring Chris AND Nas makes it even better!

Gotye & Kimbra – Somebody I Used to Know

If people didn’t know of Gotye and Kimbra a few months ago,it’s pretty much guaranteed that they do now! Somebody That I Used to Know hasturned into a phenomenon in the music industry that people just can’t seem toget enough of!

Drake & Rihanna – Take Care

Drake and Rihanna recording a song together? Does it getmore perfect than that? These have so much chemistry in the song that we’releft wondering why they aren’t together in real life!

Flo Rida & Sia – Wild Ones

This is the one song of 2012 so far that you just can’t seemto get away from! Whether you’re in your car, at a club or even just doing alittle shopping, there’s a really good chance that Wild Ones is coming througha speaker.

Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull – Dance Again

Who doesn’t want to work with Pitbull?! When Jennifer Lopezand the rapper paired up for Dance Again, all the Latin love just makes youwant to get up and dance the night away, right?!

Hands down B.o.B and Taylor Swift. Definitely and unlikely pairing, but this song works.
