The Weeknd's quiz is built mostly from four albums: Beauty Behind the Madness (2015), Starboy (2016), After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022). Between them they supply 26 of the 29 songs. After Hours holds the song that defines his catalogue in streaming terms. In 2023 Blinding Lights passed Shape of You to become the most-streamed song in Spotify history, and the same year he became the first artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners on the service. Starboy and After Hours supply seven songs each, level for the largest share of any record. The edges of the list are where games turn. Wicked Games, from 2011, is the oldest song in the pool, and Call Out My Name comes from a short 2018 EP that sits between the big albums. The records are listed below in order, each with a note on what to expect.

The Weeknd quiz questions

Which song pool should I pick for a Weeknd quiz?

Of the 29 songs listed here, 17 carry 2010s release dates and 12 carry 2020s dates. The split falls inside After Hours: Blinding Lights and Heartless are dated 2019, so they belong to the 2010s pool even though the album came out in 2020.

Is Earned It in the quiz?

Yes. It appears both on Beauty Behind the Madness and on the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, and the game treats the two as one song, so it can come up but never twice in the same set of options.

Are his early mixtape songs in the quiz?

Wicked Games is, through the compilation that collects it. The rest of this page's list starts at Beauty Behind the Madness, but each game draws from his live catalogue, so other early songs can turn up in All-Time games.

What makes The Weeknd hard to guess in five seconds?

His 2020s records share a lot of their sound, so with an After Hours or Dawn FM clip the era is the easy part and the song is the hard one. If you can afford a second, wait for the first vocal line before you commit.
