Who is The Weeknd?

Canadian singer The Weeknd, real name Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (born 16 February 1990), rose to Official Charts stardom in 2015 after his Earned It appearance on the soundtrack to the 50 Shades Of Grey movie. His second studio album Beauty Behind The Madness, which featured the hits The Hills and Can't Feel My Face became his first Number 1 album shortly after.

The Weeknd's biggest song of his career in the UK is 2019 viral hit Blinding Lights, it gave The Weeknd his first Number 1 single in summer 2020 and became the biggest song of 2020 too. He's also banked four UK Number 1 albums across his career, including topping the Official Albums Chart in February 2025 with his reported 'final' release under The Weeknd moniker - Hurry Up Tomorrow. His previous Number 1 albums include second studio album Beauty Behind The Madness (2015), After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022).
