His widely recognized “Beauty Behind the Madness” earned him two Grammy Awards in 2015, an RIAA triple-platinum certification for cumulative sales in excess of 3 million, 16 RIAA certifications from tracks alone with “The Hills” [7x-platinum], “Can’t Feel My Face” [5x-platinum], “Often” [2x-platinum], “In The Night” [platinum], and “Acquainted” [platinum]. “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” even garnered The Weeknd his first ever Academy Award® nomination in the category of “Best Original Song.”
Late last year, The Weeknd released his fourth full-length album “Starboy” which quickly rose to #1 in 90 countries, sold over one million albums globally and broke the global streaming record all in less than one week.
