If ever silent slayage had a face it would probably look like The Weeknd.

Sure, the Canadian crooner may not dominate headlines like his more famous Urban/hip-hop influenced counterparts, but the absence from tabloids and blog headlines has not come with an absence of dominance of charts.  Case in point?  A quick peruse of this week’s Hot 100.

Once there, you’ll discover Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd’s real name) not once, but twice in the top 10 with his latest single ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ slowly but surely feeling its way to number 1.  His multiple appearances in the tally’s upper dectet has only cemented less places for females as – much like 2014 – males continue control of the Hot 100.
