The Weeknd Net Worth 2020

As a multitalented musician, Abel Tesfaye, better known as Weeknd, immediately conquered the current music view. He is a singer, songwriter and recording producer who began showing his work very early in his teenagery. Since releasing his first studio album “Kiss Land” returned in 2013, his popularity was only growing.

How did he begin?

The 29-year-old musician from Canada showed his interest in music at a very young age. With the aim of the total commitment to a career, he left the two secondary schools he attended. He just decided to leave school one weekend and never returned. That’s the root of the stage name “Weeknd.”

There are Ethiopian records seen in Abel’s music because their parents immigrated from Ethiopia to Canada in the 1980s. Many influences in his work also have legends such as Prince and Michael Jackson. This was seen in his first mixed ribbon called “House of Ballon” which was released in 2011.

Musical Career

Two mixed tapes “Thursday,” and “Gema Segan” appeared immediately after “House of Ballon.” They were later released as the 2012 trilogy, which went platinum and hit the top 5 in Canada and the US.

The first studio album “Kiss Land” became a viral in the second half of 2013. This album took second place at the US Billboard 200 with 96,000 sales in the first week.

The second album “beauty behind madness” in 2015 achieved a better success. Sold 5 million copies worldwide, he reached number one in the 200 billboard. This week became the first artist in history to have three songs that had the top three spots at the same time on the Billboard Hot R & B charts -Ligu comes from the album mentioned, and their name: get it, the hills and can’t feel my face.

As you can assume, the third album “Starboy” which was released at the end of 2016 also pressed the first position on various charts. Single with the same name runs very popular in many countries, not only Canada and the United States.
