The Weeknd becomes the third artist in history to earn 7 diamond certifications

Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, has reached a monumental new milestone. The Toronto visionary has just become the first Canadian artist to achieve seven diamond-certified singles in the United States and only the third artist in history to do so. Yes, you read that right. Seven.

The Weeknd, the enigmatic R&B and pop icon, has been redefining the music scene since his first mixtapes. With his unique voice and unmistakable style, Abel has moved from the dark depths of House of Balloons to the vibrant heights of After Hours. Each album is a masterpiece that positions him as one of the most influential artists of our generation.

The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has awarded The Weeknd this diamond certification, which means that each single has sold at least 10 million copies. Songs like “Blinding Lights”, “Starboy” and “Can’t Feel My Face” not only dominated the charts, but became generational anthems. These tracks have been played everywhere.

But this achievement is not just a victory for The Weeknd. It’s a testament to the power of music to transcend boundaries and connect people. With each release, Abel has shown us that he is not afraid to explore new directions, to innovate and to push the boundaries of what is possible in pop music.
