10 Albums Made By Couples: From Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco to The Carters

Written by on April 2, 2025

Plus, two Beatles and their spouses, Sonny & Cher and more.

Billboard Women in Music 2025

On the Billboard 200 chart dated April 5, two artists shared the No. 2 spot: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, whose friends-to-lovers romance manifested into the sweet couple’s album I Said I Love You First, long after they first started working together as singer and producer a decade prior.

But while the engaged twosome’s opening on the charts was certainly impressive, Gomez and Blanco are far from the first musical couple to craft an LP together. For many, romantic love and musical inspiration have gone hand in hand for decades, with some songwriting pairs starting out in band dynamics that turned romantic, and others deciding to try out music together only after they were in a relationship. There’s iconic duos like Sonny & Cher and Ike & Tina Turner, whose careers and lives as husband and wife were inextricably linked, and of course, there’s power couples such as Jay-Z and Beyoncé orTim McGraw and Faith Hill, where either spouse boasted an illustrious solo music career long before they united on joint albums.

No matter the exact dynamic, it’s easy to see the appeal of making music with a romantic partner. There’s no reason to hold back when it comes to writing lyrics — you probably already know everything about each other — and in many cases, your collaborator is just down the hall if you need them, doubling productivity.

From Selena and Benny to The Carters all the music-making soulmates that came before them, check out 10 albums that were made by couples below.
