Starboy is the third studio album by Canadian singer The Weeknd, released on November 25, 2016, through XO and Republic Records. The album features the hit singles 'Starboy' and 'I Feel It Coming', both of which reached the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. With a vibe score of 8, Starboy showcases The Weeknd's ability to blend dark R&B with pop sensibilities, resulting in a critically acclaimed and commercially successful album. The album has been certified triple platinum by the RIAA and has won several awards, including the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album. The Weeknd's collaboration with Daft Punk on the album's title track and 'I Feel It Coming' is particularly notable, as it marks a significant departure from his previous work.
