The Highlights arrives Feb. 5 and was curated specifically for his upcoming Pepsi Super Bowl LV Halftime Show appearance. While not a greatest hits collection, the 18-track set features some of his most notable hits spanning his decade-long career. The album kicks off with a trio of hits off 2020’s
After Hours, including “Save Your Tears,” “In Your Eyes,” and the chart-topping “Blinding Lights.”
The XO crooner takes it back to the Starboy era with the Daft Punk-assisted “I Feel It Coming,” while including selections from 2015’s Beauty Behind the Madness and his 2018 EP My Dear Melancholy, plus his collaborations with Ariana Grande (“Love Me Harder”) and Kendrick Lamar (“Pray for Me”).
The project caps off with “Wicked Games” and “The Morning” off his 2011 debut mixtape House of Balloons
The "Blinding Lights" singer will take the stage at the Super Bowl LV showdown between Tampa Bay and Kansas City on Feb. 7 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida and the specially curated collection is an introduction to some of his career highlights for the gigantic audience that typically tunes in to the biggest annual TV broadcast.
But before then, he's offering fans the chance to order a copy of his hits comp, which features such beloved songs as "In Your Eyes," "Can't Feel My Face," "Starboy," "Heartless," "Die For You," "Love Me Harder" and "Wicked Games," among others; the singer's site says the CD version will ship in the next two or three weeks. According to XO/Republic Records, the project will be available on Feb. 5.
At press time, the collection was not available on major streaming services, and a spokesperson for The Weeknd hadn't returned requests for comment on when it would be released for streaming.
“Given the vast mainstream audience of the Super Bowl, The Highlights album is a way to present some of The Weeknd’s most notable works in one place,” reads a press release from The Weeknd’s label, Republic Records. “While this isn’t a ‘Greatest Hits’ album it does provide a new listener a rich foray into some of the iconic artist’s best and favorite work.”
