The Weeknd‘s ‘After Hours’ era is nothing short of spectacular, serving as one of the most successful albums and accompanying campaigns of the last decade.
Even before the Super Bowl and award show blitz in its support, ‘After Hours’ had already clocked one of the biggest first-week sales of 2020 and spawned two #1 hits – ‘Heartless’ and ‘Blinding Lights’ (the latter sits in Billboard Hot 100 history books as the longest-running single by a solo artist). By mid-2021, it collected a third with ‘Save Your Tears.’
As if those accomplishments (and the many that followed) aren’t enough to boast, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have updated certification stats attached to the era to give the star (born Abel Tesfaye) even more to brag about.
