The Weeknd is having an impressive week on the charts as his album, Beauty Behind The Madness, comes in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-hop Albums charts. More surprisingly, 10 songs off that album made their debut on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs list this week, rounding out the full tracklist with every song currently charting.
According to Billboard, the 10 songs newly added to the chart join two tracks -- "Can't Feel My Face" and "The Hills" -- that were already charting and two more songs -- "Often" and "Earned It (Fifty Shades Of Grey)" -- that have since left the chart. The songs and their positions on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for Sept. 19, 2015 are as follows.
No. 1, "Can't Feel My Face"
No. 2, "The Hills"
No. 16, "Prisoner," featuring Lana Del Rey (debut)
No. 19, "Tell Your Friends" (debut)
No. 22, "Acquainted" (debut)
No. 23, "Real Life" (debut)
No. 27, "Shameless" (debut)
No. 31, "Losers," featuring Labrinth (debut)
No. 35, "Dark Times," featuring Ed Sheeran (debut)
No. 36, "In the Night" (debut)
No. 38,"Angel" (debut)
No. 42, "As You Are" (debut)
Lana Del Rey's featured spot on "Prisoner" seems to be driving the traffic for the song, while Ed Sheeran appears further down the list for his contribution to "Dark Times."
"Can't Feel My Face" and "The Hills" sit securely at numbers 2 and 3 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100, just behind Justin Bieber's "What Do You Mean." The Weeknd also boasts another whopping nine tracks on the coveted chart, bringing his total to 11. That makes the singer only the sixth artist to ever have 10 or more tracks on the Hot 100 at the same time in Billboard's 57-year history. He joins the history books with artists such as The Beatles, Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne and Drake, who earlier this year tied his record for 14 simultaneously charting songs with the release of If You're Reading This It's Too Late.

All of this is to say, people really like The Weeknd's album and not just the singles. Fans are pressing play on this album and letting it run from start to finish, which is a refreshing change for a generation that grew up buying 99-cent singles on iTunes and largely ignoring the rest of the album.
