Sometimes it's not so fleeting, as Taylor Swift is currently discovering. Sure, Swift has always been a reliable seller (her opening week sales just keep growing), but she struck a sweet spot with her latest album '1989', an album that almost a year after its release is still in the top 10 on Billboard. Each single has been a hit (three #1's and one top 10 hit, with next single 'Wildest Dreams' perched for similar success). Her world tour is on its way to becoming one of the highest selling tours in history, and though she's attracted some criticism lately, it seems Swift is gearing up for an Adele like awards season sweep.
So that brings us to the crazy talented Abel Tesfaye, or The Weeknd, who finally broke through to the mainstream last year after wallowing around in the land of the indie darlings. After landing a guest spot on Ariana Grande's successful 'Love Me Harder' and 'Earned It', one of the hit singles from the "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack, Tesfaye didn't waste any time at seizing his moment; He followed up with the one two punch of 'The Hills' and 'Can't Feel My Face'. Both songs are sitting pretty in the top 5 of Billboard's Hot 100, and with his album dropping in a few days, I can tell you that this is the moment where Tesfaye becomes a household name.
