The Weeknd‘s “Can’t Feel My Face” has officially been certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.
The plaque marks the XO Records founder’s fourth diamond plaque following “The Hills,” “Starboy” and “Blinding Lights” and makes him the third solo artist and fourth artist overall to achieve this feat. “Can’t Feel My Face” was released in June 2015 and became The Weeknd’s first single to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and appeared on The Weeknd’s sophomore studio effort Beauty Behind the Madness. In addition, the record gave the artist his first No. 1 album, went home with the GRAMMY for Best Urban Contemporary Album and was nominated for Album of the Year.
The news arrives just shortly after The Weeknd announced the second leg of his extensive “After Hours Til Dawn” tour, which will see him perform in European and Latin American cities like Amsterdam, Oslo, London, Paris, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago and more starting June 2023. The first leg of the tour kicked off earlier this July and grossed a whopping $130 million USD.
In case you missed it, The Weeknd is hinting at his involvement in the soundtrack of Avatar: The Way of Water.
