Fall marks the change from baseball season to football season, from sunshine to rain, and from frappucinos to pumpkin spice lattes. It also marks the change in the music industry from new to old— and many artists have released new singles as well as albums these past few months. If you’re trying to decide what to listen to, here are a few popular tracks to choose from.

Eminem’s newest creation is his collaboration with Canadian artist the Weeknd on the song “The Hills”. Eminem intensifies he brooding, bass-heavy track about inner turmoil with a one-minute verse. The remix is Eminem’s first track dropped in four months, and it’s one of his more popular songs as of recent.

In late October, a virtual-reality music video was released for this version of the song, allowing viewers use their mouse to guide themselves through a late-night street scene of flashing lights and explosions.
