The Weeknd released three mixtapes in 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, the first of which was certified silver in the UK.[3] He signed with Republic Records in 2012, and released Trilogy, a compilation album of the three mixtapes he had released the previous year plus three new bonus tracks.[4][5] Trilogy peaked within the top five on albums charts and was certified multi-platinum in Canada and the US.[6][7] The album spawned three singles, all of which were certified platinum or more in the US: "Wicked Games", "Twenty Eight", and "The Zone" (featuring Drake).[8] His debut studio album, Kiss Land, reached number two on the albums charts of Canada and the US.[6][7] In 2014, the Weeknd released a collaboration with Ariana Grande titled "Love Me Harder" and the single "Earned It", in which the latter was recorded for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, with both singles becoming top-ten entries on both the singles charts of Canada and the US.[9][10]

"The Hills" has been certified 11× Platinum in the US.[8] The Weeknd also found success with his features on the singles "Might Not" by Belly in 2015 and "Low Life" by Future in 2016, as well as Beyoncé's 2016 song, "6 Inch".
The Weeknd released his third studio album, Starboy, on November 25, 2016. The album peaked atop the charts in Australia, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, and the US.[6][7][11] It was supported by the international top-ten singles "Starboy", "I Feel It Coming", and "Die for You", the former two of which feature the duo Daft Punk and peaked atop the singles chart and has received diamond certifications in France.[13][14] The former and latter singles both reached number one in the US and all three singles also received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, Sweden, and the US, with the album's other singles also obtaining moderate success.[15][8] In 2017, the Weeknd found success with his features on the singles "Some Way" by Nav, "Lust for Life" by Lana Del Rey, and "A Lie" by French Montana, the latter of which also features Max B. In 2018, he released a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar titled "Pray for Me" for the Black Panther soundtrack, with the song receiving multi-platinum certifications in Canada and the US.[15] Later that year, he released his debut extended play My Dear Melancholy, which spawned the Canada number-one single "Call Out My Name".[9] In 2019, the Weeknd found success with his features on the singles "Price on My Head" by Nav and "Wake Up" by Travis Scott.
On March 20, 2020, the Weeknd released his fourth studio album, After Hours. The hit single, "Blinding Lights", reached the top in Canada and the US and broke the record for the most weeks in the top five (43), top ten (57), and top 100 (90) of the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of its release, and finished 2020 as the year's top Billboard Hot 100 song.[16] The song was later ranked as the No. 1 Greatest Hot 100 Hit of All Time by Billboard.[17] After Hours peaked atop the albums charts of multiple countries including Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and the US,[6][7][11] and also spawned the US number-one and Canada top-ten singles "Heartless" and "Save Your Tears".[9][10] Later that year, the Weeknd found success with his collaboration with Ariana Grande on the song "Off the Table". In 2021, he released a collaboration with Post Malone titled "One Right Now", which debuted and peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100.
On January 7, 2022, the Weeknd released his fifth studio album, Dawn FM. The lead single, "Take My Breath", which was released on August 6, 2021, debuted and peaked at number six of the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. Other singles, achieving moderate success of their own from the album include "Sacrifice", "Out of Time". Later in the year, The Weeknd released a collaboration with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage titled "Creepin'", which debuted and peaked at number one in his home country of Canada and reached number three on the Hot 100. In 2023, he released a collaboration with Travis Scott and Bad Bunny titled "K-pop", which debuted and peaked at number seven on the Hot 100.

Very shortly that same year, he released another collaboration with the two artists titled "We Still Don't Trust You", which debuted and peaked at number 22 on the Hot 100.
On January 31, 2025, the Weeknd released his sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. It was supported by three singles: "Timeless", "São Paulo", and "Cry for Me". The Weeknd has hinted that this may be his final album under the name, as he plans to "kill" the alter ego. Moving forward, he intends to continue his musical career—perhaps under his real name, Abel Tesfaye, or possibly still as the Weeknd.
