The Weeknd's Breakout Album Reaches A Momentous Milestone
The Weeknd's Beauty Behind the Madness celebrates 350 weeks on the Billboard 200, climbing back into ... More the top 100 as Starboy approaches 400 weeks. HAMILTON, ON - MARCH 15: The Weeknd is presented an award at the 2015 JUNO Awards at FirstOntario Centre on March 15, 2015 in Hamilton, Canada. (Photo by) Nearly a decade ago, Abel Tesfaye — better known as The Weeknd — earned his first No. 1 album in the United States with Beauty Behind the Madness. Two years prior, he became a breakout star with Kiss Land, which instantly made him a critical favorite and one of the most exciting new artists in the music industry. Beauty Behind the Madness, however, turned him into a global superstar thanks to hits like "The Hills," "Can't Feel My Face," and "In the Night." Almost 10 years later, that project remains successful, and this week it reaches a landmark that the Canadian powerhouse has only seen once before. 350 Weeks on the Billboard 200 Beauty Behind the Madness celebrates reaching 350 weeks on the Billboard 200, a number it hits this time around. The blockbuster collection shifted another 12,000 copies last frame, according to Luminate. That's enough for it to return to the upper half of the 200-spot roster, as it climbs from No. 110 to No. 98. Starboy Nears 400 Weeks on the Ranking The Weeknd has only seen one other album spend at least 350 weeks on the Billboard 200. Starboy passed that mark about a year ago and remains present, sitting a little more than a dozen spaces above Beauty Behind the Madness. In just two weeks, Starboy will become The Weeknd's first 400-week charter in America. A Strong Showing on Multiple Charts Beauty Behind the Madness appears on two genre-focused rankings in addition to the all-style Billboard 200. It holds at No. 12 on the Top R&B Albums tally with 351 weeks on that list and lifts slightly on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums ranking. If the early-career release is still present on that chart next week, it will mark 200 frames on the competitive roster. The Weeknd's Five Charting Albums The Weeknd currently claims five hit albums in America, all of which appear on multiple tallies at once. In addition to Beauty Behind the Madness and Starboy, both After Hours and House of Balloons also reside on a trio of rankings. His most recent full-length, Hurry Up Tomorrow, can still be found on six charts simultaneously, though it is declining on most of them.

Mission: Impossible Star Tom Cruise And The Weeknd Share A Hug, Fans Recall Iconic Lip Sync Moment
Last Updated: Tom Cruise and The Weeknd hugged at the Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning premiere in New York. Over the weekend, something pretty epic happened on the red carpet at the Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning premiere in New York. Tom Cruise and The Weeknd finally met — and yes, they hugged it out. Fans have totally lost it over this crossover that no one saw coming but now can't stop talking about. Back in 2015, Tom Cruise crushed a lip-sync battle on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon by performing The Weeknd's 'Can't Feel My Face"? And it blew up. The Weeknd even reacted on Twitter like a total fanboy, tweeting: 'Can't believe @TomCruise is singing my song… that sh*t got me hype… lol I can't lie. Tom FKIN' Cruise." It was from The Weeknd's second album, Beauty Behind The Madness. The song soon became the artist's first number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, following Cruise's praise of the singer as 'enormously talented" during the show. Fast forward to now — and they meet, laugh, hug, pose for photos. The energy? Absolutely off the charts! The internet's been spiraling in the best way, and that lip-sync moment is making the rounds all over again. Oh, and just days ago, The Weeknd also pulled off a surprise live performance at Fordham University with Jimmy Fallon during the Class of 2025's graduation bash. He looked back on that moment and told host Jimmy Fallon, 'I definitely saw that. It actually helped the song. It helped it peak to the record-breaking top, thanks to him, obviously. To the biggest movie star in the world." He went on to add that he is a 'a huge Tom Cruise guy. He added, 'I love The Color Of Money, love Vanilla Sky, love Rain Man, Eyes Wide Shot, Magnolia and Mission Impossible." To thank Cruise, The Weeknd said he wanted to 'return the favour" by helping promote Mission: Impossible, Cruise's new movie coming out on Friday. He made it clear he isn't involved in the film, then took out a cap with the movie's logo and jokingly read a promotion for it. First Published: May 19, 2025, 07:53 IST
