, Daft Punk found mainstream favor once again by partnering with The Weeknd for not one, but two singles featured on his album, and both of them became major hits. The pairing of Daft Punk and the Canadian R&B/pop star produced first “Starboy” and then “I Feel It Coming,” which were both performed recently during the Super Bowl halftime show. “Starboy” went to No. 1 on the Hot 100, giving The Weeknd another leader and Daft Punk their first ruler, and “I Feel It Coming” rose to No.
Years before working with The Weeknd, Daft Punk enjoyed a boost in popularity after Kanye West sampled their song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and introduced it to millions as his song “Stronger,” which itself went to No. 1 on the Hot 100 and earned the rapper the Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance .
Throughout their time together, Daft Punk earned a dozen Grammy nominations and won half of them, including two of the four major categories. After losing their first five times being up for music’s biggest honor, the band collected two prizes in 2008 for Best Dance Recording and Best Electronic/Dance Album .
