I happened to listen to it in full on my annual New Years Day walk that I do and I think it’s my favourite album from him as a whole.
It’s had quite the resurgence lately and is his highest charting album on our charts from his studio albums ahead of Dawn FM and After Hours. Should manage to get a 100th week on the chart next week too.
Anyone got any idea on the sales of this album? It’s had quite a good chart run and longevity. Even when it debuted at #5 I think it’s opening sales were good as well weren’t they as it was a Q4 release.
^ its sales were actually given in this week's sales report along with those of 'Beauty Behind The Madness' (and 'The Highlights')!
The chart’s newest centurion, The Weeknd’s second hits album, The Highlights, has been in the Top 40 throughout its 100-week chart run thus far. It takes advantage of the post-Christmas void to improve 7-3 (7,386 sales) this week - the highest position it has achieved since it debuted at No.2 in February 2021. Never dipping lower than No.34, its cumulative consumption of 447,100 units places it third in The Weeknd’s canon behind only his 2015 album Beauty Behind The Madness (652,956 sales) and 2016 album Starboy (541,310 sales).
Unfortunately find 'Die For You' to be a pretty weak song by his standards so it's just a little :') to see it being a bigger hit than basically anything off 'Dawn FM' in the US (looks set to go top 10 this week and could yet still outpeak 'Take My Breath').
Oh wow! Those sales for all of those albums are actually impressive and for the studio albums are actually higher than I expected for some reason :yahoo:
Die for You was always one of my favourites during this era so I’m pleased to see it take off albeit years later.
New peak for Die For You today!!! Up to #45!!! :cheer:
1 month later...
I wonder if the Ariana remix of Die For You is being released this Friday?
Yup! Available for pre-save now. This could be huge, especially in the US...
Why did Die For You get big, Tik Tok I'm assuming?
Loved the track at the time, but seems crazy a song is blowing up from 6 years ago when there's been two albums and an EP since then!
The song is already quite close to #1 on the Hot 100 due to being dominant on radio so this won't need to give it tooooo much of a boost in sales/streams to go to #1 (although whether Ariana gets credited for it is a different question). Probably good timing to sneak it in this week before Morgan Wallen's album drops as well.
More of an open question how high it'll push the song in the UK but definitely at least top 40 I guess.

Yes, it's been huge on TikTok for ages (he also released a music video for it on its 5 year anniversary which I think coincided with it starting to go viral). Then was sent to US radio as a current single despite being several album cycles old. It's a bit annoying when this song is vastly inferior to so many songs on 'Dawn FM' imo but a smart move tbf.
I can only hope this happens to 'Less Than Zero' one day.

Still manifesting a Lana remix for Less Than Zero and a huge smash hit as a result.
^in 2027 maybe :)
so so so lazy to have another Ariana remix, like if there is no one else out there to collaborate
At least Ari have given us a bit of a break from her this time.
Album holds at #27 in the UK!
It’s been his highest charting album (what’s a studio album!) here for a while now and it’s his longest runner of all his studio albums too. 106 weeks and counting!
I imagine at some point in the not too distant future it’ll cross 2x Platinum over here as well! Even at the time it did pretty well for a Q4 release and before streaming really dominated the albums front but Die for You has really helped this and a few of the other album tracks are getting new daily highs on streaming.

Die for you also at its highest of all-time in the UK Charts at #37!!!!
Die for You reaches a new peak of #4 thanks to the remix (although UK wise Ariana isn’t credited) but still this albums now home to three to Top Ten singles.
Album is also #25 this week which is a climb on last week. I guess by year end this may become his best seller from his studio albums?
The album is also back in the UK Top 40!
