This year’s Super Bowl is just around the corner, and The Weeknd came up with the perfect way to tease his halftime show performance—by dropping an 18-song collection of his greatest hits, titled The Highlights.
This album is a columniation of the singer’s decade-long career, and it features some of his most popular songs, including “Can’t Feel My Face”, “The Hills”, and “Blinding Lights”. The Weeknd also made room for some of his best collaborations, including “Starboy” feat. Daft Punk and “Pray For Me” feat. Kendrick Lamar.
The Canadian superstar dropped the album on January 25th without any lead-up and promoted it by posting a cover followed by a football emoji on social media. This indicates that The Highlights was meant as the companion album to his upcoming halftime show performance.
Super Bowl LV will take place on February 7th, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The Weeknd isn’t the only celebrity expected to make an appearance—Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan will sing the national anthem, while H.E.R. was tapped to perform a rendition of “America the Beautiful”.
