UPDATE: The Weeknd continues to preview material from
Hurry Up Tomorrow, his upcoming
XO/
Republic LP, with the release of the
Playboi Carti-enhanced "Timeless," which collected more than 6m U.S. streams on its first day of release, suggesting full-week streams in the 20-25m range.
"Timeless" debuted on
Spotify on 9/27, entering at #2 globally with 10m+ streams—the most daily streams ever for both The Weeknd and Carti. It also opened at #1 on both the
Apple Music and
Spotify U.S. charts and continues to hold both positions as of 9/28.
Produced by
Pharrell Williams, "Timeless" follows "Popular," The Weeknd and Carti's collaboration with
Madonna, released in 2023 as part of the soundtrack to
The Idol.
Hurry Up Tomorrow, which also boasts the recent single "Dancing in the Flames," will complete a trilogy that includes the chart-topping
After Hours (2020) and
Dawn FM (2022). No release date has been confirmed just yet.
The Weeknd is managed by
SALXCO's
Wassim "Sal" Slaiby and
YCFU's
Amir "Cash" Esmailian, and is booked by
CAA.
For Carti, "Timeless" arrives on the heels of "ALL RED," the first single from his long-in-the-works
AWGE/
Interscope album
MUSIC. The cut is #20 at
Spotify U.S.
Now, please excuse us as we save our tears for another day.
