Talking to Variety about Blinding Lights, The Weeknd shares, “At first I felt like I went overboard with ambition.  I’m ambitious, but I thought maybe it was too much. But it wasn’t until people liked ‘Blinding Lights” that I was like, ‘This is so not what now is, and people loved it anyway.’”

 

 

Blinding Lights was written by The Weeknd, Max Martin, Oscar Holter, and produced by Jason “DaHeala” Quenneville and Ahmad “Belly” Balshe.  The track racked up more than 4.5 billion global streams, it’s been named as Spotify’s most-streamed song of 2020, and is the ninth most-streamed song of all time on the platform.

 

According to Variety, “It’s Billboard’s number one record of the year, and it managed to set a record for the longest running Top 5 and Top 10 record in the Hot 100’s 62-year history.”
