With epic comebacks from legendary artists, a fierce race for the top of the charts, and a whirlwind of genre-blending releases, 2024 has been a celebration of creativity like never before. While the hip-hop arena has been abuzz with the unforgettable face-offs between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, another dynamic duo has kept fans on their toes: The Weeknd and Playboi Carti. But instead of beef, they have teamed up to drop the highly anticipated track ‘Timeless’ and in the process, have found themselves on a playlist loop others would soon find hard to replace.

The Weeknd and Playboi Carti just unleashed their latest single, ‘Timeless,’ and it is already making waves. They premiered the track live at The Weeknd’s exclusive one-night-only concert in São Paulo, Brazil, earlier this month. This new jam marks their first collaboration since last year’s ‘Popular’ featuring Madonna. ‘Timeless’ is also the second official drop leading up to The Weeknd’s upcoming album, ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow,’ which wraps up his ‘After Hours/Dawn FM’ trilogy.

During the São Paulo concert, The Weeknd treated fans to even more new tunes from his upcoming album, including ‘Dancing in the Flames’ and ‘São Paulo,’ featuring Brazilian superstar Anitta. But all the chatter surrounding ‘Timeless’ was off the charts! The hype was so intense, it even prompted former US President Donald Trump to rethink his campaign strategy. He ditched his AI-coded Taylor Swift endorsement—which totally flopped—and opted to use The Weeknd and Carti’s track for a TikTok campaign instead.

Once the track dropped on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music, it quickly settled into fans’ playlists and sent the internet into a frenzy, with fans cranking up the hype even more.

The music world thrives on thinking outside the box, and because of that, fans get collaborations that feel like they are written in the stars. The Weeknd and Playboi Carti’s live debut of ‘Timeless’ had fans glued to countdowns for the big release. Now that it has officially hit the playlists, no more looping concert snippets—fans can finally let the full track blow up their headphones.

Fans are calling this release a major win for real music, with some even saying it has the potential to define the rest of the year.

Of course, not everyone is on the same page—some are convinced the live version hit harder, and others are debating whether The Weeknd "out-rapped" Carti. But with online threads lighting up and everyone talking about it, one thing is crystal clear: this duo has delivered, the buzz is real and the charts are about to do the rest of the talking.
