The Weeknd has undeniably become one of the biggest names in the music industry today.

Before we get you in your feels with The Weeknd's top seven songs, it's important to understand just how incredible and inspiring this powerful artist's journey has been throughout his music career and his rise to becoming a "Starboy" (pun fully intended).
This may come as a shock, but The Weeknd's real name is not really "The Weeknd." Rather, the star was born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye in Toronto, Canada in the year 1990. Before he became The Weeknd, he was interested in music and started creating music under the pseudonym "The Noise" in 2010. He started uploading his music online, and soon his music caught the attention of a few record labels. He then released his debut mixtape "House of Balloons" in 2011, which received critical acclaim and established him as an artist to watch out for.
After the success of his debut mixtape, The Weeknd released two more mixtapes in quick succession, "Thursday," and "Echoes Of Silence." These mixtapes further solidified his reputation as a major force in the R&B scene. In 2013, he released his debut studio album, "Kiss Land," which landed at #2 on the Billboard Hot 200. But the real success came with the release of his second studio album. "Beauty Behind the Madness" was released in 2015 and ultimately propelled him to the mainstream. The album included chart-topping hits like "The Hills," and "Can't Feel My Face," and the album itself was awarded multiple Grammys.
Continuing his streak of success, The Weeknd released "Starboy" in 2016, his third studio album that was inspired by Prince and Daft Punk. The album included hit songs like "I Feel It Coming," and "Party Monster." After a hiatus, he returned in 2018 with another unique and acclaimed album, "My Dear Melancholy." His fourth studio album, "After Hours," released in 2020, showcased his songwriting skills and range as an artist. This album produced some MAJOR hits, including several you can hear right here on 102.7 VGS including "Blinding Lights," and "Heartless." His fifth studio album, "Dawn FM" totally changes the game as a concept album, with the tracks aligning to mirror that of a radio show.
