The Weeknd's path to Beauty Behind The Madness has
defied all conventions. He avoided revealing his face until over a
year after he released his very first song online. The story itself
is now legendary. In 2011, he released an untouchable series of
three critically revered free mixtapes — House of Balloons,
Thursday and Echoes of Silence — and the internet exploded with
praise and a whole lot of theories about him as he personally
remained silent. Soon though, his reach and appeal exponentially
expanded. He teamed up with Ariana
Grande for the platinum-selling hit "Love Me Harder." He
then had the mainstream completely in his grip with the release of
"Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)" in early 2015. The first release
from the chart-dominating, platinum Fifty Shades of Grey
Original Motion Picture soundtrack became a triple-platinum
smash that enjoyed 27 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100. "Can't Feel My
Face" formally ushered in Beauty Behind The Madness.
The song quickly shot to #1 on iTunes worldwide and within weeks,
it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Weeknd has also become a touring force. The 2014 King Of The
Fall Tour sold out all dates and since then, The Weeknd's festival
appearances, including Coachella,
Lollapalooza and HARD Summer, have drawn massive crowds.
