The Weeknd’s Starboy album has been murdering the charts since the day it dropped.  Every single song on the album is taking over the top spots.  Since the album was released The Weeknd has been talking about which artists have influenced this successful project.

Big names like Wu-Tang, Prince, 50 Cent, and more have have been named by The Weeknd as heavy influencers during his creation process.  When 50 Cent heard that The Weeknd was looking to him for inspiration he geeked out a just little bit.

This is crazy, I was just watching this guys video. Saying damn he got something different going on. It’s next level shit,then he says I was a influence listen to(STAR BOY) the shit feel like he in the zone. The #1 spot is not available @theweeknd took that shit. #EFFENVODKA

50 is definitely a big name in the industry so he is definitely a great influence for creativity.  Much success to the both of them!
