The Weeknd has achieved a new record on the Hot 100 chart with his song “Die For You,” which climbed to No. 1 in the second-longest time ever. The only other song to achieve a longer climb to the top spot is Mariah Carey’s popular holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas,” which debuted at No. 83 in January 2000 and finally hit No. 1 in December 2019.
The original version of the song was released in 2017, as part of the Canadian singer’s third studio album “Starboy”. This was their fourth collaboration, as they previously worked on the “Off The Table“, “Love Me Harder” and “Save Your Tears” remix.
