The Hills

Abel's second single for "Beauty in Madness" peaked at No. 1 at the Billboard Hot 100, replacing "Can't Feel My Face." Abel considers the hypnotic horror track "the most important song" in his career as it catapulted him to various worldwide charts.

In Your Eyes

Noted by its heavy 80s influence, "In Your Eyes" offered different versions for different audiences - from a saxophone climax from Kenny G to a sultry remix with Doja Cat. Debuting only at No. 16 at the Billboard Hot 100, the track still boasts as the third most streamed track of "After Hours" in Spotify.

Starboy (ft. Daft Punk)

The Weeknd's third chart-topper bridged R&B and electropop in his 2016 hit "Starboy" featuring Daft Punk. Speaking about what seemed to be the "extravagance of celebrity life," the track became one of The Weeknd's most iconic songs on the album of the same name.

Out of Time

His third single on his most recent project, "Dawn FM," "Out of Time," seemed to be the track everyone thought they had already heard before with the familiar fairytale-ish beats and Abel's suave vocals.

Save Your Tears (ft. Ariana Grande)

The chart-topping remix with his favorite collaborator Ariana Grande is one of The Weeknd's most loved songs to date. The Ariana Grande, The Weeknd formula seemed to work again after the two successfully collaborated before with "Love Me Harder."

Blinding Lights

Considered as Abel's most successful single to date, "Blinding Lights" is everyone's must-have in all kinds of playlists. The euphoric and intoxicating mega-hit amassed more than 2 billion streams as of writing.
