Filtered through the lens of his own making, The Weeknd has redefined the boundaries of R&B and pop, not by following trends, but by setting them. With 104.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, he’s held the crown for the highest number of monthly listeners for over two years, a testament to his pervasive influence. In 2023, the Guinness Book of World Records named him “The Most Popular Artist in the World.”. His 2020 album ‘After Hours’ is the most streamed R&B album ever, with his 2016 album ‘Starboy’ trailing just behind. And then there’s ‘Blinding Lights’—a song that did more than top charts. It redefined them, becoming the RIAA-certified Diamond track that finally dethroned Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit ‘The Twist’ as the new No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 song of all time.
