The Weeknd's 'The Highlights' Climbs To No. 2 In U.K.

British actor Elba highlights anti-knife crime campaign in London

The Weeknd's album 'The Highlights' continues to make waves in the U.K. music scene, reaching the No. 2 spot on the U.K. albums chart this week. This compilation of the R&B/pop superstar's most beloved singles has spent seven nonconsecutive weeks at the runner-up position, showcasing its enduring popularity.

Despite its consistent high ranking, 'The Highlights' has yet to claim the top spot, facing tough competition from Ariana Grande's 'Eternal Sunshine,' which currently holds the No. 1 position. The Weeknd's album has been a mainstay in the top 10 for 106 weeks, demonstrating its staying power and appeal to fans.

The Weeknd's album features a collection of popular tracks, including collaborations with artists like Jennie, Lily Rose Depp, Madonna, and Playboy Carti. The addition of more than a dozen songs to the compilation has contributed to its strong performance, with hits like 'One of the Girls,' 'Popular,' and 'Take My Breath' resonating with listeners.

'The Highlights' now stands as the longest-charting album of The Weeknd's career in the U.K., surpassing his previous record set by 'Starboy.' With 163 weeks on the chart, the album continues to captivate audiences and maintain its position among the top releases in the country.
