The Weeknd and Playboi Carti dropped their new single, “Timeless,” on Friday, Sept. 27.

They performed the track for the first time at The Weeknd’s one-night-only concert in São Paulo, Brazil, earlier in September, where the Canadian-Ethiopian superstar performed his latest single “Dancing in the Flames,” his “São Paulo” collaboration with Anitta and more new songs from his upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow.


The two last collaborated together on “Popular” alongside the Queen of Pop Madonna in June 2023 from The Weeknd’s HBO drama series The Idol, which reached No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 14 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in June 2024.

Billboard Canadian Hot 100 & Billboard Canadian Albums Charts Undergo Methodology Changes for 2026

Below is an explainer on the charts’ new streaming weights.

Following the switch of the Billboard Canadian Albums chart to a new weighting methodology to match that of the United States-based Billboard 200, the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 songs chart has shifted to the updated paid to ad-supported 1:2.5 streaming ratio. This is effective with the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 chart dated Jan. 31, 2026

As previously reported, Billboard’s charts have added more weight to on-demand streaming to better reflect an increase in streaming revenue and changing consumer behaviors. As part of the change, paid/subscription on-demand streams continue to be weighted more favourably compared to ad-supported on-demand streams, with the ratio between the two tiers narrowing from 1:3 to 1:2.5 based on analysis of streaming revenue.
