The Weeknd and Megan Thee Stallion have been named two of Time magazine’s most influential people of 2020. The publication announced this year’s list during an hour-long special on ABC, which included performances by Time 100 honorees Jennifer Hudson, Halsey, and The Weekend, who treated viewers to a performance of “Blinding Lights” off his chart-topping 2020 album, After Hours.

The Weeknd continues to obliterate the charts with his smash single “Blinding Lights.” “Blinding Lights” has now spent a record 28 weeks in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing the previous high held by Ed Sheeran with “Shape of You.” It’s the latest accomplishment in what has turned into a string of accolades for The […]
Refreshingly, the Weeknd has made it clear in a number of After Hours era interviews that he’s been taking COVID-19 quite seriously. Abel, of course, is one of a number of artists whose 2020 agenda was—for lack of a more apt description—wholly fucked up by the seriousness of the pandemic here in the U.S. While […]
On July 10, Juice WRLD’s posthumous album Legends Never Die dropped. It quickly set records. It was the biggest Billboard debut of 2020 by selling 497,000 equivalent album units in its first week.

August is closing out strong. This week, there were a lot of great releases from some of our favorite artists. Conway the Machine is keeping his winning streak going with “Fear Of God” featuring Dej Loaf. NBA YoungBoy is gearing up for his new studio album with another lethal banger, “Murder Business.” After dropping the “YBN” from his […]
To say that the Weeknd released his superb fourth album After Hours at an uncomfortably bizarre time in human history is, to put it as mildly as possible, a breathtaking understatement. Still, the album—featuring top-tier input from Metro Boomin, Max Martin, and more—has fittingly become a mainstay during the COVID-19 era. In a must-read new […]
TikTok’s live, interactive virtual concert with The Weeknd on Aug. 7 was a massive hit. According to the social media platform, the concert raised $350,000 for the Equal Justice Initiative by selling new and limited Weeknd x TikTok merchandise.
