You can read the rest of the article from the link above, but sales wise here's what was posted:
1) Lady Marmalade: It was Christina’s second Number 1 after debut single Genie In A Bottle, and the first of three for Pink – it’s sold over
560,000 copies.
2) When You Believe: It was a 12th Top 10 hit for Whitney – and her first for five years – while for Mariah it was a 15th visit to the Top 10, selling over
280,000 copies.
3) Telephone: Originally meant for Britney Spears, Gaga reclaimed the track, recruited Beyoncé for guest vocal duties and had a Number 1 with it, selling over
700,000 copies.
4) The Boy is Mine: being the first Top 10 hit for both of them and selling over
620,000 copies
5) Beautiful Liar: Spending three weeks at Number in 2007, Beautiful Liar ranks on high on both ladies’ list of top sellers – it’s shifted over
430,000 copies.
6) Let Me Blow Ya Mind: has sold over
290,000 copies.
Telephone is the highest selling female collab on the list, and I would assume they would include a higher selling one in their classic female collabs list. Although the article doesn't explicitly state this, it seems to look that way. If I'm wrong just enjoy the rest of the article and the sales updates
