The Weeknd Career

In 2012, The Weeknd released ‘Trilogy’, a compilation album composed of a mixtape and remastered versions of his 2011’s mixtapes ‘House Of Balloons’, ‘Thursday’, and ‘Echoes Of Silence.’ 

Abel started making major gains in 2013 after being an opener on Justin Timberlake’s ‘The 20/20 Experience World Tour.’ He also contributed to the soundtrack for ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ on songs ‘Devil May Cry’ and ‘Elastic Heart.’

In 2014 he remixed Beyonce‘s ‘Drunken Love’ and he scored a placement on the ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Film soundtrack with the Track ‘Earned It’, which further pushed his name in the music world. 

The Weekend went from being a niche artist to a global phenomenon, following the release of his second studio album ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’ in 2015. In its opening week ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’ earned 412,000 album equivalents and it became The Weekend’s first Number 1 album in the United States.

His debut studio album Kiss Land which sold 95,000 in its first week was extremely darker in contrast to ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’ which led some diehard fans to scream that The Weekend had sold out.

In 2016, we got ‘Starboy’, the 18-track project is mainly R&B Pop and Trap. The album is filled with hits from its braggadocio leading single of the same name ‘Starboy’ to the fast-paced menacing ‘False Alarm’ and the groovy electronic ‘I Feel It Coming’ ft. Darth Punk. The leading single ‘Starboy’ peaked at Number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 while ‘I Feel It Coming’ was a top 5 hit on the same chart peaking at number 4.

‘After Hours’, released under The Weekend’s own XO and republic stylistically similar to ‘Starboy’ but on this journey The Weekend dives deeper into the cosmos, tackling promiscuity, overindulgence, and self-loathing. ‘After Hours’ debuted at the top U.S Billboard 200 with 444,000 album equivalent units and the album has been certified double platinum by the RIAA.

‘Blinding Lights’ topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks and is the first song to hold a spot in the Top 10 on the chart for an entire year. ‘Blinding Lights’ was ranked as the Number 1 greatest Hot 100 hit of all time by Billboard and is the artist’s most successful single to date.

The Weekend’s fifth studio album ‘Dawn FM’ was released on January 7, 2022. This album continues with the dark themes but is more cinematic laced with existential themes and regret. The sequencing on ‘Dawn FM’ is impeccable as the tracks transition from one to another. 

‘Dawn FM’ was met with widespread acclaim from music critics and received 88 out of 100 scores from Metacritic. This album debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 2 with 148,000 album equivalent units. This album is a masterpiece and it’s The Weekend’s best album.
