'Diamonds', 'We Found Love' (with Calvin Harris), 'Love on the Brain', 'Stay' (with Mikky Ekko), 'This Is What You Came For' (with Calvin Harris), 'Needed Me', 'Four Five Seconds' (with Kanye West & Paul McCartney), 'Work' (with Drake), 'Umbrella' (with Jay-Z) and 'Love the Way You Lie' (with Eminem).
