With The Weeknd’s After Hours projected to score the top seat on the Billboard 200, the XO singer quickly returned at midnight (March 23) with five new tracks including a Lil Uzi Vert feature on “Heartless (Vapor Remix).”
Along with Uzi, the deluxe edition features production remixes of “Blinding Lights (Chromatics Remix),” “Save Your Tears (OPN Remix),” “After Hours (The Blaze)” and The Weeknd’s Saturday Night Live rendition of “Scared to Live.”
According to industry forecasters, After Hours can crack over 400,000 equivalent album sales, giving The Weeknd a solid chance of dethroning BTS’ Map of the Soul: 7 for highest opening week sales. Earlier this month, the K-Pop supergroup netted 422,000 units.
As far as his singles are concerned, The Weeknd is inching closer to grabbing his next Hot 100 No. 1 single with “Blinding Lights,” currently housing the No. 4 position. He previously scored a Hot 100 No. 1 with “Heartless.”
