In 2012, The Weeknd released a compilation album, “Trilogy,” comprised of the mixtapes and 3 more original songs, gathering further critical acclaim as well as widespread popularity. Then, in 2013, he released his debut album, “Kiss Land.” It was a huge success, charting in the top 5 and selling 95,000 copies in just its first week of release! His second album, “Beauty Behind The Madness,” was his first number one album. Featuring the singles "Earned It,” "The Hills,” and "Can't Feel My Face,” each of these singles stayed in the top 3 of the singles charts simultaneously, making him the first artist in history to achieve this!!
