That is true, although he recorded the first one as a member of a group (Wham!), and the second one he recorded as a solo performer. The latter is often referred to as "Freedom 90" to differentiate the two.

There's plenty of songs out there simply titled "Crazy":
Patsy Cline (1961)
Icehouse (1987)
Seal (1991) - covered by Alanis in mid-2000s; gawd I hate that cover
Aerosmith (1994)
Gnarls Barkley (2006)
Note: Britney Spears was not included on the above list because the title of her 1999 hit is "(You Drive Me) Crazy" which is not an exact match. Words in parentheses do count as part of the title.

The title "It's My Life" pertains to a number of distinct songs as well (one of which underwent a notable cover):
The Animals had such a hit in 1965.
Talk Talk had such a hit in 1984; in 2003 the band No Doubt covered it.
Bon Jovi had such a hit in 2000.
There were a few others as well, according to Wiki, but these three are most recognizable.

Not quite. I mean, the title are almost identical, except for the fourth word (which, between the titles, are opposite in terms of gender so it may be a partial ST/DS combo).

^ A similar argument could be made for "Dream Lover" by Bobby Darin and "Dreamlover" by Mariah Carey. Some people might consider the titles to be the same, even though it is written as two words for one of the titles, and as a single word for the other title.

Speaking of same-titled songs that charted in the same calendar year, both The Cure and Tesla had hits called "Love Song" in 1989.
Sara Bareilles also had a song called "Love Song", in late 2007.
The aforementioned Cure song (its title has also been written as a single word) was also later covered by the band 311 in 2004, and again by Adele a decade ago on her "21" album.

The Celine one actually dates back to 1987. She recorded a French version for her album Incognito, then decided to learn English to break the world market and in 1988, sang an English version at the 1988 Juno Awards in Canada. A re-recorded version was included on her 1990 English language debut album Unison, and it was released as a Canadian only single in 1991. Still my favourite Celine song of all time!

The aforementioned Cure song (its title has also been written as a single word) was also later covered by the band 311 in 2004, and again by Adele a decade ago on her "21" album.

There are two other songs with the exact same title, both from the 2000s: one by South Korean artist BoA, and another by a Belgian DJ known as Basto. (But neither are as popular as MJ's hit.)
Michael's sister Janet recorded a song with a similar, but not exact, title, "Rock With U"

Speaking of Duran Duran, they had a hit called "Notorious" in 1987. So did the Canadian rock band Loverboy.

Not to be confused with "Where's The Love" (contraction), which also pertains to multiple songs.

Technically speaking, the Bob Dylan song and the Rod Stewart sing might be considered the same song, or a version of the same song. Or you might say Rod Stewart "rewrote" Bob Dylan's already existing song:
The structure of the lyrics in this song is very similar to a Bob Dylan song of the same title. After its completion, the song was then sent to Dylan, asking whether he had a problem with it. The two men agreed to participate in the ownership of the song and share Stewart's royalties.

The Rod Stewart song is credited as being written by Rod Stewart, Jim Cregan, Kevin Savigar and Bob Dylan.

First of all, the Australian band Moving Pictures scored such a hit in early 1982:

One of them is by Daft Punk (from 1997); its only lyrics are the title, repeated ad nauseam for several minutes.
Another one is by Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1999 album Californication; it performed well on the Alternative Rock Songs chart.

There is also a 1980 song by The Jacksons that was originally written with that title, but they changed it to "This Place Hotel" because they wanted to differentiate it from the Elvis song. Nonetheless, the "Heartbreak" phrase is mentioned frequently in the song.

I can think of three songs titled "Always": one from the 1980s and two from the 1990s (all by bands that were musically active during the 1980s!).
First of all, the American R&B band Atlantic Starr had such a hit in 1987; it topped the U.S. charts midyear.
The British new wave band Erasure had such a hit in 1994.
Later in 1994, the American rock band Bon Jovi released a song with that title; it reached its peak positions on most charts the following year.
I'm sure there are plenty of others.

Irving Berlin wrote a song called "Always" in 1925. It was recorded by Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline and others. Probably most memorably by Leonard Cohen on his 1992 album "The Future". Cohen famously has said that before recording it he got himself and the band drunk on a tequila drink he invented called the "Red Needle" (tequila, cranberry juice, fresh fruit) to get that boozy, woozy sound.

In 1984, the hard rock band Ratt scored a hit with that title; as far as I know, it's their signature hit.
And in 1989, the British new wave band New Order had a song with that name on their Technique album, although they rendered the title with an ampersand instead of the word "and"; overall, it was a minor hit for them.

Neil Young has a song called "Round & Round" on his classic "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" album from 1969. Though he subtitles it "It Won't Be Long".

"Beautiful". There are plenty of these, but here are the only two that I know:
Gordon Lightfoot (1972)
Christina Aguilera (late 2002)
Carole King
"Beautiful"
1971
From the classic "Tapestry" album.

For this reason, I am excluding titles that have parenthesized words in the replies that I make, since they are not an exact match (although that issue might be subject to debate). For example, both Van Halen and Kris Kross had hits called "Jump" (in 1984 and 1992, respectively), but a particular song by the Pointer Sisters doesn't count because the full title of that one is "Jump (For My Love)".
(And according to the list that I've been keeping - which I intend to update fairly soon - "Jump" hadn't been mentioned until now!)

By the way...
However, there are a number of songs out there called "Change" which I will mention in a future post.
I guess I never got around to mentioning the songs titled "Change" that I knew.
One of them is by Tears For Fears; it was popular in 1983 (did well in their native UK; 'twas a minor hit in the States).
The other one is by Lisa Stansfield (another UK performer); it was an international hit - most notably in European countries - in late 1991.

Two different female singers had hits called "I Will Remember You" in the 1990s: Amy Grant in 1992 (from her album Heart In Motion, released the previous year); and Sarah McLachlan (first recorded in 1995 for the studio version, then again "live" in 1999 for her Mirrorball album).

A number of different acts went "Round And Round" with different songs of that title. I happen to know three of them.
First, Perry Como had a hit with that title in 1957 (written by Shapiro & Tallman; covered by various artists).
In 1984, the hard rock band Ratt scored a hit with that title; as far as I know, it's their signature hit.
And in 1989, the British new wave band New Order had a song with that name on their Technique album, although they rendered the title with an ampersand instead of the word "and"; overall, it was a minor hit for them.

^ Ah yes, you mentioned those in the very first reply of this thread:
To quote David Crosby "memory is one of the first things to go." ;D Seriously, I think it's quite a unique situation that the same band has a song with the same name by two different writers though likely not the only time it has happened. Donovan has a song called "Sleep" on his 1973 album "Cosmic Wheels" and a completely different song called "Sleep" on his 1996 album "Sutras". Both written by him. So that's a case of two different songs with the same name by the same writer.

Fifteen years ago, back in 2007, Amy Winehouse scored a major international hit with "Rehab."
That same year, Rihanna also recorded a song with that title, for her album Good Girl Gone Bad, but it was a hit the following year (2008).

"Rhythm Of The Night" was the title of a 1985 hit for DeBarge, and a 1994 hit for Corona. (However, some sources show "The" at the beginning of the latter title, so it may be a disagreement as to whether it may be construed as an exact match.)

I'd say it counts. While the Corona track is technically called The Rhythm Of The Night, DeBarge danced to the beat of the rhythm of the night :)

I agree with you. Plus, the lyrics in the DeBarge song clearly mention "the rhythm of the night" in each occurrence of the title. O0

First of all, Eminem had a hit with that title in 2002.
Eleven years later, in 2013, Fantasia Barrino recorded a song with that title, with collaborations from Kelly Rowland and Missy Elliott.
Five years after that, in 2018, Halsey had a hit with that title.

More than one song in pop music history has "More Than A Woman" as a title (otherwise I wouldn't be making this post!).
First of all, the Bee Gees had a hit with that title on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. It was written by the Bee Gees themselves (and they recorded it in early 1977), but their version didn't chart first. The R&B band Tavares also recorded it that same year, and their version also appeared on the SNF soundtrack. Still both versions were on the charts in 1978 (with Tavares' version outperforming that of the Bee Gees, surprisingly). Twenty years after that, a British boyband called 911 covered it, and their version fared well in Europe.
The other song with this title was a hit for Aaliyah; she recorded it in 2001, not long before her untimely death.

A decade earlier, in 1978, the Bee Gees wrote and recorded a song with that title, intending to include it on an album of theirs, but declined to do so. Instead, they let their little brother Andy record it, which he did in 1979; it became a hit for him in early 1980.

Here are two Canadians who are the life of the party! That Aleesia song wasn't a high charting single, but it was on the radio all the time. I had such a crush (when you watch the video, you will understand lol), I even bought the CD. About 7 years ago, she hosted a live video on one of the social medias (I forget which one) and was answering fan questions. I asked her if she could sing that song, and she thanked me for remembering it and then started singing it. I was so excited!. Man, i'm such a geek! lol

There are other songs with the title "Forever".
One was a hit for Mariah Carey in the summer of 1996, from her album Daydream which was released a year earlier.

The Beach Boys also had one in the early 1970s (song released as a single in 1971; album made in 1970). It was re-recorded in the early 1990s by actor John Stamos (who actually knew the Beach Boys personally) on a 1992 episode of the sitcom Full House; said version actually appears on an album that the Beach Boys themselves released that year.
