Biography

Abel Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990), known by his stage name The Weeknd, is a Canadian PBR&B recording artist and record producer. In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd". He released three nine-track mixtapes throughout 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed. The following year, he released a compilation album, Trilogy, consisting of remastered versions of the mixtape material and three additional songs. It was released under Republic Records and his own label XO. In 2013, he released his debut studio album Kiss Land, which was supported by the singles "Kiss Land", and "Live For".

 

The Weeknd has received praise from several music publications, including Pitchfork, MTV, BET, Rolling Stone, XXL and The Source. MTV's John Norris has dubbed him the "songbird of his generation" and the "best musical talent since Michael Jackson". - Wikipedia

Album Discussion Here

Re chart battles: Rage/Joe definitely, I think that was actually the first chart show thread I posted in and it was definitely I was most engaged in the news, the updates were all over the news and it wasn't clear until right at the last minute. Can't remember a time that the chart felt so exciting.
A few that spring to mind are of course:

 

- Joe McElderry vs Rage Against the Machine

- Olly Murs - Please Don't Let Me Go vs Katy Perry - Teenage Dream

- Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love vs Take That - Rule the World

 

Katy Perry was robbed. Teenage Dream is the best track on Teenage Dream. Now I want to listen to Teenage Dream :wub:

I was starting to wonder where this was.

Anyway, I'm starting to lose hope in Wings re-entering.

CAN'T FEEL MY FACE :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

I quite like earned it and haven't paid much attention to him before but this is absolutely beyond amazing fantasticness, reminds me quite a bit of Michael Jackson. Really hope this can turn into a massive smash :wub:

This is growing on me lots now, he has really nice vocals and even though it's a bit whiney it has this thing I like about it. Wish it was The Hills that was going to be big.
Spiller vs Truesteppers is my fave chart battle.

 

Yeah this has to be my ultimate chart battle!

 

Though I do remember loving the RATM vs Joe McElderry battle in 2008/9 (?!) as it stopped the X Factor domination!

My favourites are:

Blu Cantrell vs Ultrabeat vs Robbie Williams, 2003. The first chart battle I followed throughout the week.

Certainly Joe McEldery Verus Rage Against The Machine

Yeah this has to be my ultimate chart battle!

2009 (link to thread on page 2) :D

[Rihanna] Only Girl (In The World) v The Flood [Take That] was another good chart battle.

 

 

I was starting to wonder where this was.

Anyway, I'm starting to lose hope in Wings re-entering.

 

Unless Blonde have made a major recovery, there's got to be a 3rd track entering, so I still expect to hear "Wings" shortly

Blu Cantrell vs Ultrabeat vs Robbie Williams, 2003. The first chart battle I followed throughout the week.

 

Guys you need to stop, you are making me relive all my chart disappointments. Pretty Green Eyes :wub:

This Weeknd track sounds like it should have been a top 20 hit, I wonder if this will get a late boost

 

I hate to say its growing on me!
