Both albums were reviewed positively on Pitchfork, with 'After Hours' receiving a 7.9, and 'Dawn FM' securing an 8. Not only that, but The Weeknd has become a bonafide celebrity since he broke out in the 2010's with his mixtape series that has since been put on streaming services under the name 'Trilogy'.

"Blinding Lights" is The Weeknd's biggest hit, according to the Billboard charts, sitting comfortably at the number one spot for 35 weeks beginning in 2020. That record is likely a big part in the artist, whose brith name is Abel Tesfaye, played the Super Bowl halftime show in 2021.
