To find the most recent posts you can use the function wp_get_recent_posts, this function accepts as first parameter an array and as second parameter "how you want the result", but I believe that the configuration below is sufficient for you.

$args = [
    'numberposts' => 4
];

$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args, ARRAY_A );

other parameters that can be used are:

'offset' => 0,
'category' => 0,
'orderby' => 'post_date',
'order' => 'DESC',
'include' => '',
'exclude' => '',
'meta_key' => '',
'meta_value' =>'',
'post_type' => 'post',
'post_status' => 'draft, publish, future, pending, private',
'suppress_filters' => true

For most popular posts I think it is ideal to use a plugin like wordpress popular posts, but there are several others that you can find google for

get popular posts wordpress
