The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) has had another busy year, during which time he broke attendance records at London’s Wembley Stadium, made his TV series debut with HBO’s The Idol, and released two cuts from it — “Double Fantasy” featuring Future, and “Popular” with Playboi Carti and Madonna.

The Starboy also jumped on “K-pop” with Travis Scott and Bad Bunny, and released a remix of his 2016 collaboration with Ariana Grande, “Die For You,” marking the duo’s fourth collaboration, following up 2021’s remix of “Save Your Tears,” as well as his feature on her 2014 single “Love Me Harder” and “Off the Table” from Ari’s most recent album, 2020’s Positions.

As his tour works its way around the world, the singer dropped his first-ever live album on March 3, Live at SoFi Stadium, a 31-track collection chronicling his two-night stand at the Los Angeles venue in Nov. 2022.
