Grammy Award-winning The Weeknd reuses the same four notes and it’s mind-blowing.

The Starboy artist uses the same four notes for every song, in a musical discovery made by YouTube personality, Andrew Huang.

Huang, who is also Canadian, played the melodies of popular songs by The Weeknd to prove they all use rearrangements of the same four notes – yet they still sound Rockin‘.

The formula of notes are A, C, D and E.

Huang took samples from Tell Your Friends, Heartless, Often, and Starboy, posting the video via Twitter. It received a huge response from fans.

One Twitter user replied He’s been rewriting House of Balloons over and over for a decade and it keeps working”. (@itsPusher)

Many people were impressed an artist could create such diverse music with the same four notes. Others ridiculed the sameness of pop music. However, Andrew Huang did not give his opinion, rather letting Twitter users debate among themselves.
