The Weeknd releases concert film to celebrate 25 songs surpassing 1 billion streams each
The film includes performances of new songs from the Weeknd's upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow
The Weeknd has 25 tracks with more than a billion streams each on Spotify, and now the streaming giant has released Billions Club Live With the Weeknd, a live concert film celebrating his achievement.
Spotify hosted a concert for the Weeknd's top listeners on the platform in Santa Monica, Calif., in December, and the new 45-minute movie captures performances from the show. The Weeknd sang several of his record-breaking hits, including "Can't Feel My Face," and "Earned It," as well as new tracks including "Timeless" from his forthcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow.
Spotify first announced that 25 of the Weeknd's songs had surpassed the billion mark in December in a post on Instagram. The list of tracks includes "Love Me Harder," a duet with Ariana Grande, and "Blinding Lights," which is still Spotify's most-streamed song.
Hurry Up Tomorrow is set for release on Jan. 24. The Weeknd had previously promoted the album with a livestreamed concert from São Paulo, where he brought out collaborators including Anitta and Playboi Carti. The Weeknd is set to perform a one-night-only concert the day after the album's release at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
On May 16, the Weeknd's thriller film of the same name, starring himself, Barry Keoghan and Jenna Ortega, will hit theatres. The Hurry Up Tomorrow movie will also feature new music, according to Variety.
