The Weeknd is making waves once again, as he brings both The Highlights and After Hours back to the UK charts just as his latest album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, is set to debut at No. 1. This Canadian superstar is in the midst of a bustling period, having released his latest project at the end of January, followed by a stunning performance at the Grammys. To top it off, a trailer for a film he co-wrote and starred in—centered around this newly released album—has also just dropped, indicating that 2025 will be another monumental year for him.
As Hurry Up Tomorrow begins to make its mark globally, The Weeknd has managed to reinsert his iconic albums onto the Official Hip Hop and R&B Albums chart in the UK. Remarkably, After Hours has re-entered the chart at No. 34, while The Highlights follows closely behind.
While Starboy has dipped slightly on the charts, from No. 35 to No. 39, it remains The Weeknd’s longest-running success, boasting an impressive 271 weeks on the chart. After Hours isn’t far behind, with 243 weeks, while The Highlights is approaching its own milestone of 200 weeks.
The Weeknd’s current chart positions reflect a significant portion of his past successes, as all three of these albums have previously reached the coveted No. 1 spot. His hit “Blinding Lights” continues to resonate with audiences, re-entering three different UK charts, proving its lasting impact as a generation-defining anthem.
With these remarkable chart placements, The Weeknd solidifies his status as a powerhouse in the music industry, and fans can only anticipate what he has in store next.
