After seeing a thread in the 50's/60's Oldies board with songs with the same title, but totally different, I decided to do something like this for CHR songs. I'll start first:

Shake - Ying Yang Twins / Pitbull
Shake - Jesse McCartney

Any others?
 
Michael Bublé - Home
Daughtry - Home

Billy Joel - Just The Way You Are
Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are

Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying
Kris Allen - Live Like We're Dying
 
No Doubt (cover of Talk Talk) - It's My Life
Bon Jovi - It's My Life

And, holiday edition...

Vince Vance & The Valiants - All I Want For Christmas Is You
Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
 
Neon Trees - Animal
Def Leppard - Animal
-------------------
Daughtry - September
Earth, Wind, & Fire - September
--------------------
Taio Cruz - Dynamite
Jermaine Jackson - Dynamite

Don't cha - Pussycat Dolls
Don't cha - Tori Alamaze


Always felt bad for Tori Alamaze, if I recall correctly there were a handful of stations that added her version and then ripped it back when PCD came out.

A singer named O'Bryan also had a song entitled "Tenderoni" back in 1986. I don't know if either of the two songs listed below are remakes or if they are completely different.

"Don't Be Cruel"-Cheap Trick and Elvis
"Don't Be Cruel"-Bobby Brown

The Cheap Trick and Bobby brown songs were released close to each other in 1988; in fact, they ended up back to back in Billboard's Top 10 one week! I don't know if that has ever happened in chart history-two different songs with the same title occupying two slots next to each other in the top ten.
 
Torn-LeToya Luckett, Natalie Imbruglia
***Add "Torn" by Creed.***

Also (excluding titles with parenthetical additions such as "That's the Way (I Like It)"):
Beautiful - Christina Aguilera, Snoop Dogg
I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry, Jill Sobule
Tell Me - Groove Theory, Billie Myers
I Like It - Enrique Iglesias, Blackout Allstars, DeBarge, Dino
That's the Way - Katrina & the Waves, Jo Dee Messina
Do It For Love - Sheena Easton, Hall & Oates
Breathe - Faith Hill, Telepopmusik, Michelle Branch (if parentheticals are counted also "Breathe (2 AM)" by Anna Nalick)
The Way You Love Me - Karyn White, Faith Hill
Say You Will - Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac

Talk To Me-Stevie Nicks, Anita Baker
***Also "Talk to Me" by Chico DeBarge (1986), Wild Orchid (1997), and, for the oldies fans, Sunny & the Sunglows (1963).***

In 1986, both the Stevie Nicks and Nu Shooz songs called "I Can't Wait" were in Billboard's top 40 simultaneously for a few weeks. Hilary Duff also had a song out called "I Can't Wait."

And in 1981 Dolly Parton's "9 To 5" shared the charts with Sheena Easton's "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" which was originally titled simply "9 To 5" in the U.K.
