The Weeknd releases extended version of 'Starboy' album

The original went on sale back in 2016, but has been consistently in the top ten on Spotify all these years.

Canadian-born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, known to the world under the creative pseudonym The Weeknd, has released a deluxe version of his seven-year-old album Starboy. The tracklist includes 18 original songs and 3 new remixes. These include Ariana Grande's relatively recent single "Die for You", "Reminder" by A$AP Rocky and "Starboy" by Kygo.

Since the release of the 2016 extended edition of the album, it has surpassed 9.4 million downloads on Spotify, surpassing The Weeknd's last original album, After Hours, and surpassing Taylor Swift's Midnights. Starboy is now firmly in the top ten on the digital platform.
