The Weeknd is gearing up to release a hits album.
Though no official announcements have yet been made by the Canadian vocalist, 'The Highlights' is currently available to pre-order on his website and other online stores, with a release date set for February 5, two days ahead of his performance at this year's Super Bowl halftime show on February 7. It promptly follows up his 2020 album 'After Hours', which he'll support with a rescheduled North America trek this summer, with shows in Europe and UK moved to the autumn. The Highlights tracklist: 1. Save Your Tears 2. Blinding Lights 3. In Your Eyes 4. Can’t Feel My Face 5. I Feel It Coming Feat. Daft Punk 6. Starboy Feat. Daft Punk 7. Pray For Me Feat. Kendrick Lamar 8. Heartless 9. Often 10. The Hills 11. Call Out My Name 12. Die For You 13. Earned It 14. Love Me Harder (Ariana Grande and The Weeknd) 15. Acquainted 16. Wicked Games 17. The Morning 18. After Hours This post has been edited by ManicKangaroo: 26th January 2021, 10:29 PM |

This is a major smart move with the Superbowl coming a few days later and I love seeing Greatest Hits being released in the streaming era because I was worried they were over and done with~ BUT the (almost) complete lack of The Trilogy representation here is really not the one. I hope there's a deluxe edition that is more reflective of the artist he was before he broke through into the maintstream because without that it feels incomplete

Save Your Tears should probably get a streaming boost from this too!

At the moment it's CD only. There is no confirmation of a digital release yet.

I was excited for this, then realised it wasn’t anywhere near complete. I can sort of understand the trilogy era being kept separated but not even a spot for Belong to the World?
Not happy about the lack of False Alarm and Rockin either. |

Oh god, this is gonna be in the top 10 for decades. Does this mean streams for Blinding Lights, The Hills, Can't Feel My face etc. will count for this album now?

Didn't even notice that missing :/ Justice for the sorely underrated Kiss Land era  The more I look at the tracklist, the less I like it. Give us a Side 2/deluxe please! |

It's not supposed to be complete, that's why it's called Highlights.
Belong To The World was not a hit, why would that be included? This is to appeal to the masses to tie in with his Superbowl appearance |

Yeah this is almost 100% geared towards the GP who only really know him for his big hits, there’s a few lesser known singles hidden among the hits so people can get acquainted with his less commercial stuff.

it's just a Super Bowl cash-in, I personally think it's a bad move cos it's gonna damage the sales of his studio albums (thats why nobody releases GH anymore)

^yes I know that, thats not what I meant
I meant that it damages physical sales of his studio albums like for example if you hear Adele for the first time (I know!) she doesn't have a GH so you'd probably end up buying all her studio albums 19, 21 and 25 but if she had a GH, people would buy the GH and thats it. |

I see what you mean but do many people actually buy The Weeknd's albums?

You can’t call it The Highlights when you miss off the highlight of your career, High For This 💔

It feels weird to see an artist like The Weeknd releasing a greatest hits album in the streaming era. I guess it makes sense as a Super Bowl cash in for him.

Surprised (as he's not the lead) but pleased to see 'Love Me Harder' making the cut *.*
