Dawn FM - original 2022 program
The original 2022 program identifies Sacrifice, Out of Time, Is There Someone Else and Less Than Zero. Its long Take My Breath item is not the chosen short single, and its inherited August 2021 field is not used to establish the exact debut of every extended presentation. | Reviewed 2026-10-18

About The Weeknd
The Weeknd is the recording name of Canadian singer and songwriter Abel Tesfaye, who grew up in Toronto's Scarborough district. House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence introduced his dark R&B approach in 2011 before their material was gathered for Trilogy. Kiss Land began his studio-album sequence, followed by the wider pop reach of Beauty Behind the Madness and Starboy.
