Helloween Popular Song Rankings [2025]

How Many TearsHelloween8rank/position

Helloween- How many tears with Michael Kiske

A track from Helloween’s first full-length album, “Walls of Jericho,” whose witch-like, thrilling vocals by Kai Hansen and aggressively arranged, quintessential metal sound will get your adrenaline pumping.

The guitar charging ahead with high-speed palm muting and the drums hammering out a relentless double-bass beat create a powerful impact.

The twin-lead guitar solo first unleashes rapid-fire runs that match the song’s breakneck pace, then shifts in the latter half to soulful, weeping phrases brimming with melancholy—an excellent, almost classical sense of development.

Despite being one of their earliest songs, it remains a staple in their live shows and stands as a signature track from their early period.

I’m AliveHelloween9rank/position

Helloween I’m alive Live Wacken

A track included on the album Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1, which set the stage for the legend of Helloween to begin.

Flowing seamlessly from the album’s short opening instrumental “Initiation,” it instantly heightens anticipation for what’s to come.

With Michael Kiske’s soaring vocals fused with a metal sound, this song essentially defined the band’s direction and image.

Its lyrical yet catchy composition—more than just sheer speed—feels timeless, making it the number that introduced Helloween’s appeal to the world.

Dr. SteinHelloween10rank/position

Helloween – Dr. Stein

Their third single overall, showcasing main composer Michael Weikath’s flair for pop sensibilities.

In addition to being included on the classic album “Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II,” an acoustic version was released in 2009 on the album “Unarmed – Best of 25th Anniversary,” and it’s a staple in their live shows.

While Helloween are often associated with a melodic speed metal style, this track delivers a comparatively heavy sound, yet its high-quality, catchy melodies have made it very popular.

It’s a metal number that’s easy to enjoy even for rock fans who aren’t into very fast songs.

I CanHelloween11rank/position

HELLOWEEN – I Can (Official Music Video)

This is a song by Helloween, who gained popularity for crafting catchy metal sounds.

Over a simple, bright backing, Andi Deris’s deep and powerful vocals resonate.

The melodic mid-section guitar solo is also very cool.

First TimeHelloween12rank/position

Helloween – First Time

The opening track of the sixth album, Chameleon, which was produced in pursuit of a new musical direction.

It’s a remake of a song by the band composer Michael Weikath belonged to before joining Helloween, and even on an album without the melodic speed metal-leaning tracks that had been their trademark, it’s a number where you can enjoy Helloween’s characteristically catchy melodies.

With hard rock-style riffs and melodies that hold back on the higher registers—elements that differ from Helloween’s earlier work—the unflashy arrangement, if anything, highlights the band’s high level of musicianship, making this a hidden gem.

Sole SurvivorHelloween13rank/position

Helloween – Sole Survivor

The 12th single included on the album Master of the Rings, released in 1994 and a major hit that reached No.

6 on the charts in Japan.

Featuring drum work so technically astounding it could stand on its own, catchy guitar riffs layered on top, and a distinctive, wistful vocal tone, this track showcases the album’s new members—vocalist Andi Deris and drummer Uli Kusch—while still retaining that unmistakable Helloween feel.

The arrangement, which carries a different atmosphere from earlier Helloween, went on to become a defining part of the band’s sound.

It’s a melodious number that balances a heavy arrangement with an energetic lightness.

The Dark RideHelloween14rank/position

Helloween – The dark ride (Studio version)

This is a song by a pioneering German band in melodic power metal.

The track features extraordinary guitar playing and a memorable, melancholic melodic vocal at the end, and I think listening to it while tidying up will put you in a good mood and help you clean more efficiently.
