Artwork


The album's cover continues the usage of the red suit that The Weeknd donned throughout the promotional material for his fourth studio album After Hours (2020).[12] The particular suit worn in the cover art is the same one that he wore in the music video for the song "Save Your Tears", which served as the fourth single from the aforementioned album.[13]


Commercial performance


The Highlights debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 89,000 album-equivalent units, including 10,000 pure album sales. It is the Weeknd's highest charting compilation album, and marks the biggest first week debut for a greatest hits set since Blake Shelton's Fully Loaded: God's Country (2019), which peaked at number two on the chart dated December 28, 2019.[14]
