The Weeknd has another international hit on his hands!
The superstar has unleashed the music video for ‘Hong Kong,’ his surprise collaboration with Cantopop legend Faye Wong.
And the visual arrives as the track breaks major records across China’s biggest streaming platforms.
Full story below…
Directed by Evan Larsen, the clip takes viewers through Hong Kong’s bustling streets and neon-lit nightlife.
Filmed across Mong Kok and Hong Kong Island, the visual premiered during Abel’s four-night stint at Kai Tak Stadium in October.
The track, which incorporates Wong’s 1993 classic ‘Seasonal Wind,’ has been making quite the splash.
According to figures shared by his team, ‘Hong Kong’ scored the biggest debut ever for a Western male artist on QQ Music.
It also achieved the biggest first-day opening for a non-Mandarin song on NetEase Cloud Music in five years, topping all three of the platform’s major charts simultaneously.
The success adds another win to what’s already been a monumental run for the hitmaker.
Indeed, he recently wrapped his record-breaking ‘After Hours Til Dawn Tour,’ which grossed over $1.3 billion and sold more than 9 million tickets.
With the mammoth trek now complete, the singer is clearly keeping the momentum moving.
