After just announcing it yesterday, The Weeknd has launched a new “personalized Spotify experience” featuring his music. The browser analyzes your Spotify account to determine how long you’ve been a fan of The Weeknd. I can tell you now it’s not accurate, but the main point here is the visual experience. You can check it out here.
The page loads with a red background and a personalized message from The Weeknd:
“Hey there, it’s Abel.
How are you?
So glad you could join me.
I’ve been waiting for you.
There’s a lot I want you to know.
Can’t wait to talk…
[You are about to experience a personalized moment with The Weeknd, powered by your Spotify Data].”
Just recently, The Weeknd held a virtual TikTok concert billed as The Weeknd Experience. The event brought in two million viewers and raised over $350,000 USD for the non-profit organization Equal Justice Initiative.
Also, The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” is now the longest-running #1 hit on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart with 19 straight weeks on top. The existing record was set 22 years ago when the Goo Goo Dolls’ hit single “Iris” charted at the top for 18 weeks.
