The Weeknd’s latest album, Dawn FM, currently clocks in at 67 weeks on the Billboard 200 with no sign of leaving the chart any time soon. The GRAMMY winner released Dawn early in January 2022, led by the single “Take My Breath.” The project featured Tyler, The Creator, Lil Wayne, and narration from Jim Carrey and Quincy Jones.
More recently, the Toronto crooner shared his new single “Double Fantasy” featuring Future. The track serves as original music from the upcoming HBO series The Idol. The Weeknd teased it on Instagram Live a few weeks back before officially performing it during Metro Boomin’s Friday (April 14) Coachella set.
Abel joined Metro the week after and caused major commotion online when he almost got burnt by pyrotechnics while performing “Low Life.”
