Starboy (10th Anniversary)

The Weeknd

Decade Collector's Red & Black Marble Vinyl edition

One of the biggest pop albums of the 2010s turns 10! The Weeknd's third studio album, Starboy (2016), celebrates its 10th anniversary with a special Decade Collector's Edition, released on limited red/black marbled 2LP vinyl.

 

With Starboy, Canadian superstar Abel Tesfaye took a decisive step from alternative R&B to global pop dominance. The album united his signature dark and atmospheric sound with electronic pop, funk, disco, and 80s-inspired synthesizers. The result was one of the most successful albums of the decade, which went straight to the top of the US Billboard 200 and cemented The Weeknd's position as one of his generation's biggest pop stars.

 

The album is packed with hits like "Starboy", "I Feel It Coming", "Die For You", "Party Monster", and "Reminder". In particular, the collaboration with the French electronic duo Daft Punk on the title track and "I Feel It Coming" became groundbreaking for the album's sound. In addition, artists including Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar, and Future are featured on the album.
