The Weeknd's achievements are marked by record-breaking chart success and historic firsts. He became the first artist to hold the top three spots on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart simultaneously in 2015. His single "Blinding Lights" spent a record 90 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, the longest run in history. He was the first artist to top the Billboard 200 in three different decades (2010s, 2020s, 2025). His After Hours til Dawn Tour is the highest-grossing tour by a male soloist. With over 70 million records sold and eight diamond-certified singles, his influence on modern R&B and pop is undeniable.
