We Ranked The Weeknd's 25 Best Songs Ahead of His 2021 Super Bowl Halftime Performance
The Weeknd is easily one of the biggest stars of our generation, and after listening through the stack of albums he's blessed fans with, it feels like he can do no wrong. The Weeknd is on the track to legend status—he's going to be taking the stage during Super Bowl LV for the Pepsi Halftime Show next month, which p much catapults any performer into serious levels of superstardom. As the kids say, it's free real estate. (Literally, because Abel likely won't make a single cent, but uh, more on that later 😬).
Before The Weeknd was...well, The Weeknd, he was Abel Tesfaye—a newcomer to the world of R&B who anonymously posted videos on YouTube under the name "xoxxxoooxo." We now know the new Abel as a pop hit-making machine, but in all honesty, some of his best songs are actually hella moody—no offense to After Hours or Starboy. Since you deserve to know all of Abel's hits (and not just the mainstream ones), I've completed my civic duty by ranking all of his best bops. It was not an easy task, but hey, someone's gotta do it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
