The Weeknd's 'Beauty Behind the Madness' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
Just hours before it was formally announced that his latest album, Beauty Behind the Madness, had debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard 200, the singer -- whose real name is Abel Tesfaye -- charmed the crowd with a mix of album cuts and his biggest songs.

1. Getting Sexy Before "Tell Your Friends"
"Can I get sexy for you tonight Philadelphia?" the singer asked, before launching into the Kanye West-produced "Tell Your Friends," which just got the Drake remix treatment over the weekend on the latest edition of OVO Sound on Beats 1.
2. Back to Basics With "Crew Love"
Tesfaye went back to his first major cosign, his feature on fellow Torontonian Drake's 2012 single "Crew Love," for his sixth song -- those pulsing drums were more or less designed to amp up festival crowds.
