Who’s hot on the chart list today? One of the music artists is Weekend - Die For You.
The Weekend is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actor. His music explores escapism, romance, and melancholia, and is often inspired by personal experiences. He’s won Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Juno Awards, American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, a Latin Grammy Award, and nominations for an Academy Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award.

The Weekend song, Die For You, is hot on the charts right now. You might remember him singing, “I Feel It Coming” from his third studio album Starboy in 2016. His video and song reminded me of something I’m sure Michael Jackson would have enjoyed. The Weekend’s style of singing with fantasy and romance is like MJ’s. His video for his song on the charts now “Die For You” is another video of fantasy, romance, and escapism.

The Weekend makes his videos interesting. He puts a lot of time & energy into his videos. That is what makes a great video. It’s like watching a short mini movie & it leaves you wanting to know what will happen next.

Die For You is From the Weekend’s third studio album, Starboy in 2016. But in 2022, the song experienced a resurgence in popularity due to the online social media application Tik Tok. Therefore, the song impacted US radio, achieving a new peak within the top ten of the Hot 100. On February 24, 2023, the Weeknd released a remix of "Die for You" which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart i in March 2023.
