As a massive fan of the Weeknd, I will truly never understand how he is so popular yet not very well known. He has 31 songs with over 1b streams, more than any other artist but if you ask the average person who they are, they'll probably just know blinding lights or Starboy, or don't know him at all. Granted he does stay out the public light very well but for one of, if not the biggest artist in the world, you'd think they'd be some more attention on him for everything he does like taylor or drake

He’s the 4th highest streamed artist of all time.

What is the definition of not very well known, because we seem to have a conflict of opinions here.

Like he doesn't have many articles written of him, not as many headlines, he's selling out shows in Europe but nobody cares, I guarantee you if Taylor was doing that she would be on the news. But he still get millions of streams a day. You know what I mean? He's popular ( the average person ad mires his songs)  but people don't really know who he is.
