The Weeknd - The Highlights [2 LP, Limited Red Sparkle Vinyl]

The Weeknd's second globally released greatest hits compilation first arrived on February 5, 2021, two days before his Super Bowl LV halftime show performance. The 18-track collection spans a decade of his career, pulling from his three Billboard 200 number one albums Beauty Behind the Madness, Starboy, and After Hours, alongside selections from his debut mixtape House of Balloons, his EP My Dear Melancholy, and collaborations with Ariana Grande and Kendrick Lamar. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 89,000 album-equivalent units.

Rather than following a chronological sequence, the compilation opens with bright, danceable tracks like "Save Your Tears," "Blinding Lights," and "Can't Feel My Face" before gradually shifting toward moodier material. "Starboy" and "I Feel It Coming" feature Daft Punk collaborations, while "The Hills," "Often," and "Call Out My Name" showcase the darker R&B that defined his earlier work. The track selection balances radio hits with deeper cuts like "Acquainted" and "Wicked Games," creating a journey through the sonic evolution of one of contemporary R&B's most distinctive voices.

This limited edition pressing on red sparkle vinyl across two LPs is housed in a gatefold jacket. The 77-minute compilation moved over one million album-equivalent units in 2021 alone and has remained on the Billboard 200 for over 130 weeks, becoming the highest-charting compilation album of The Weeknd's career.
