The Weeknd’s "Blinding Lights" Is Making History

The Weeknd stays winning!

Just after becoming the first Canadian to ever headline a Super Bowl Halftime Show, Abel is making history once again.

According to Billboard, The Weeknd "Blinding Lights" has officially become the first and only song in history to spend an entire year on the charts top 10. This track dropped in 2019. In 2021, it’s still one of the biggest songs in the country.

“Blinding Lights” became the chart’s longest-running top-ten hit last year (beating Post Malone’s “Circles,” which ran for 39 weeks), which also makes it the first song to rack up 52 weeks in the top ten. It hit No. 10 on the February 29, 2020, chart, and eventually reached No. 1 in April, staying in position for four weeks. “Blinding Lights” got knocked out of the top tier for two weeks in December, but quickly rebounded and has been back in the top ten since," Billboard reports.

Congratulations The Weeknd!
