These are all pop/urban acts tho, and believe me, most of this songs are remembered by most people around the world only by the featured artist...

Im talking about straight Pop acts...

How is Justin Timberlake not a straight Pop act? On another note, Taylor Swift isn't a straight Pop act either. She's a Country artist that crossed over to Pop. The same way that Urban acts like Rihanna and Beyonce crossed over to Pop.

because a lot of times, the collab is the idea of the label and the idea behind it is to reach the broader mainstream audience.

Beyonce and Rihanna are still considered Pop artists though. Them getting play on Urban radio doesn't exclude them from being Pop artists. Lorde and Justin Timberlake have songs that got play on Urban radio, but both are still Pop artists.
