The Weeknd’s new album Starboy has been such a success this past weekend.  It has been number 1 in over 80 countries and is going to sell 350,000 units in the first week of its release.

He was recently on the “Ellen” show singing his hit song “Starboy.”  This is the first time that the Weeknd has appeared on daytime TV. 

Ellen says “…he has been compared to everyone from Michael Jackson to Prince.”  At the end of the performance Ellen runs on stage and gives him a huge hug saying ” Oh I love you so much.”  It was such a cool moment that they shared with each other.

Watch the laser filled performance below.
