Big Bow
For A
Best-Of
The Weeknd lands
his seventh top five
charting album on the
Billboard 200 — the
entirety of his charting
releases — as great-
est-hits set The High-
lights arrives at No. 2.
It’s the highest reaching
best-of set since Blake
Shelton’s Fully Loaded:
God’s Country debuted
and peaked at No. 2 on
Dec. 28, 2019.
The Highlights
dropped Feb. 5, timed
to capitalize on The
Weeknd’s Super Bowl
halftime performance
two days later.
The hits collection
earned 89,000 equiva-
lent album units in the
week ending Feb. 11,
according to MRC Data.
Of that sum, 70,000 are
streaming-equivalent
album units, 10,000 are
album sales and 9,
are track-equivalent
album units.
The Highlights in-
cludes two songs that
are also on his 2020
album, After Hours:
“Blinding Lights” and
“Save Your Tears.” The
TEA and SEA units for
both tracks contribute
to The Highlights on the
chart as a song’s activity
is assigned to the artist’s
album with the most
sales in a week. In the
latest tracking week,
After Hours sold 6,
and The Highlights sold
10,000. Due to the track
reassignment, After
Hours moves 4-37 on
the Billboard 200, with
15,000 units earned,
down 57%.
