Sales: 2,200k+ Certification: 3x Platinum 01 Sales 01 Audio Streaming 04 Video Streaming Video 4NRXx6U8ABQ Biography Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Like the work of collaborator Lana Del Rey or early booster (and fellow Toronto native) Drake, Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2012 37 Crew Love (Drake feat.

January 3, 20215 yr Excellent EOY #1 :wub: I think it'd be my 2nd favourite chart-topper of 2020 behind 'Rain On Me'. Still not getting tired of it at all somehow!
January 3, 20215 yr Author Dance Monkey and Blinding Lights are a very great and fitting top 2, both absolutely enormous hits!! couldn't be anything else but Blinding Lights being the #1 though, this really dominated the year.

January 3, 20215 yr Blinding Lights is great and a well deserved #1. Shame that it’s overshadowed some of the other great pop tunes from the WeekNd’s album such as In Your Eyes and Save Your Tears but hey ho. Will it be the biggest song of the 2020s though? It has a good head start on everything else. Thanks so much Joseph and Dan for hosting - was great! :)
January 3, 20215 yr My favourite song of the year, I have never tired of it. Plus I still like Dance Monkey too, especially now it’s not quite so overplayed these days.
January 3, 20215 yr Tones & I STILL as high as #2 a year after release??? *.* :rofl: Excellent #1, one of the rare occasions a massive hit is actually one of my favourites of the year too!

January 5, 20215 yr Author copying this over from the other thread for sake of completeness as expected, not a whole lot of change from the Final YTD, save for Wham/Mariah climbing a lot and Pop Smoke getting one more entry in 'For The Night' sadly pushing out Jubël. At least Gaga still managed to have Stupid Love stay in. Perfect has also now overtook Beautiful People lol. Top 100 Singles of 2020 01. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights 02. Tones & I - Dance Monkey 03.
