Ok i know this is a long shot but im sure there was a song in the uk charts, done by two different artists, in the charts at the same time. I have no idea what year only that i think it must have been in the 1990's!

Like i said.............long shot.

The Power of Love - Jennifer Rush
The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and the News
The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

some time in the 90's
Sorry 1985
Mony Mony was done by both Amazulu and Billy Idol at the same time. I think that was around 87-88 time though.
The thing with 'The Power of Love' songs is that they were completely different songs
i'm sure there must be more but the one that comes immediatly to mind is the classic golden oldie Unchained Melody
No1 for Jimmy Young 6th May 1955
No 2 for Al Hibbler 13th May 1955
No 10 for Les Baxter 13th May 1955
and an instrunental version by Librace reached No 20 0m 17th June 1955. you cann't keep a good song down
And another is the Beatles number Michelle
No 1 for the Overlanders and No11 for David and Jonathon in the same week 13th Januay 1966.
I wished you hadn't started this post I've a feeling it's going to be one of those I cann't get out of my mind
late 1995

Wonderwall

Oasis

and

Mike Flowers Pops

I know it's not the 90's but Jonathon King and The George Baker Selection both had a hit in 1975 with Una Paloma Blanca.
This used to happen a lot in the 50s, 60s and early 70s. And I remeber once in the early 70s when there were two identical (it seemed to me) versions of the same song (Leader of the Pack) by the same group (Shangrilas) but on two different labels. Eventually the two sets of sales were combined for chart purposes but for a while both were in the top 10 at the same time
