THREE IN A ROW FOR THE WEEKND

XO/Republic's The Weeknd once again seizes the #1 spot on the HITS Top 50, giving After Hours its third consecutive week at the top of the chart. The critically acclaimed album is approaching the top of our YTD Overall Activity chart, while "Blinding Lights" makes a strong case for Pop song of the year as it prepares to snag the #1 spot at Top 40 radio and continues to blaze on the DSP charts.

The last album to earn three consecutive weeks at #1 was Hollywood's Bleeding from the Weeknd's labelmate Post Malone.

The Weeknd's After Hours has not only proved the dominant release of the pandemic but quite possibly of the year. What will happen with his tour as his set and single continue their stunning reign? Stay tuned.
