"Uptown Funk" and "Downtown," for two

Answer:

SONGS

Hint:

Think of what you’d call both a Bruno Mars hit and a Petula Clark classic in one word.

Explanation:

This clue references two well-known songs: "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, and "Downtown" by Petula Clark. The phrase "for two" hints that both titles are examples of the same thing—songs. The answer is simply the general term for musical compositions like these, which is "SONGS."
