The Weeknd Earns His First No. 1 Album With ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’

The Weeknd, who has quietly had 2015 on lock, just notched his first No. 1 album. According to HitsDailyDouble, the Canadian crooner moved in the area of 325,000 copies of his second studio album, pushing nearly 250,000 more copies than his nearest competitor.

Was there any doubt that the album would do numbers? The LP's singles “Often,” “Earned It,” “The Hills” and “Can’t Feel My Face” have all charted high on the Billboard Hot 100.

Abel will kick off a fall tour in a couple months with Travi$ Scott, Banks and Halsey, in support of the project. The tour will hit up 20 spots in North America starting November 3 in Toronto and concluding in Miami a week before Christmas.
