The Weeknd has been reaping his fame for a long time. The artist has become one of the most famous over the years and it is all thanks to his effort and dedication. He puts his heart and effort into every album and song he releases and we can see it in the numbers reflected in his music. With his first four studio albums The Weeknd has achieved great success, demonstrated by his fans and the awards that the artist wins year after year, however, among these, the one that has given him the most recognition is After Hours, released in 2020. Many songs stand out from this great album, which despite its great success was not nominated for a Grammy Award. Among his best known songs is 'Blinding Lights', considered the emblematic song of the Canadian singer, as it broke hundreds of musical records.
Among them, the most surprising is that it became the first song in history to remain in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for an entire year. After all this, 'Blinding Lights' is still reaping success two years after its release. Thus, during the morning of this Sunday, Spotify confirmed that The Weeknd's song has positioned itself as the most listened song of all time on the platform.
The single now has 3 billion 332 million plays on the streaming platform, just slightly more than British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You". So far, these songs are the only ones to break the three million mark on Spotify. On the other hand, The Weeknd is not only passionate about music. Soon to premiere on HBO Max is 'The Idol', a series created, directed and starred by Abel.
