The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” has been named the new number one song on Billboard’s list of the 100 greatest songs of all time, dethroning Chubby Checker’s “The Twist”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This synth-pop single is from the rapper’s fourth studio album “After Hours”. “Blinding Lights<\/a><\/strong>” has broken records in the charts since its release in March 2020. It is also the track that has spent the most number of weeks on the charts.<\/p>\n

The Weeknd shared that for the concept of the album “After Hours<\/a><\/strong>” he was inspired by different classic movies. “From Jack Nicholson’s character in Chinatown to Possession and Tim Robbins in Jacob’s Ladder,”<\/strong><\/em> are some of the thrillers and psychological dramas the singer used.<\/p>\n

The rapper also found inspiration while playing GTA: Vice City, which “really opened his eyes to a lot of 80s music. There was a nostalgia for when I was a kid playing video games and listening to Hall & Oates and Michael Jackson while driving around town,”<\/strong><\/em> The Weeknd explained.<\/p>\n
