The Weeknd deserves some serious props for this.

The Weeknd has always been a commercial juggernaut, and Abel has recently added yet another milestone to his growing list of accomplishments. His 2015 album Beauty Behind The Madness, which spawned singles such as "The Hills," "Can't Feel My Face," and "Often," has officially spent one hundred consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 charts.

XXL reports that Beauty Behind The Madness has sold 3.7 million equivalent album units, on top of 2.05 billion streams. That's an impressive tally, especially considering he doesn't seem to be showing any sign of slowing down. The question is, can he ever top Eminem's record of 350 weeks? Only time will tell.
