A record-breaking feat for 2015 album Beauty Behind The Madness.
The Weeknd – AKA Abel Tesfaye – has set two Guinness World Records.
Tesfaye’s acclaimed 2015 album, Beauty Behind The Madness, currently holds the world record for the most streamed album on Spotify in one year. It was listened to by 60 million unique listeners between December 1 2014 and December 1 2015, with lead single, ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ notching up 448,334,867 streams by January 13 2016.
