On Sept. 12, 2015, The Weeknd topped the Billboard Hot 100 with “Can’t Feel My Face.” The single drew comparisons to Michael Jackson’s sound and helped push The Weeknd into mainstream pop. The song’s catchy hook and slick production made it a radio favorite and a club staple.
That hit marked a turning point for Abel Tesfaye. He moved from moody, underground R&B to big pop stages. After this, he landed more radio hits, bigger tours, and high-profile collaborations. “Can’t Feel My Face” remains one of his most recognizable songs and a highlight in his live shows. Fans still sing along whenever it plays.
