Starboy, released November 25, 2016 through XO and Republic, was the Weeknd's third studio album and his second straight to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. Abel Tesfaye and Doc McKinney ran the show as executive producers, calling in Diplo, Cashmere Cat, Metro Boomin, Frank Dukes and Labrinth, with guest spots from Daft Punk, Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar and Future.
It's a sleek, glossy blend of alternative R&B and pop, his falsetto gliding over chrome-plated beats. The title track struts on a cold, clipped beat, while "I Feel It Coming" is warm, feathery disco-soul, sunlight after the midnight gloom. "Starboy" and "Die for You" both went to number one on the Hot 100, and "I Feel It Coming" made the top five. It won the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album and has gone four times platinum.
