Fans seem to be very happy with the NFL's choice of The Weeknd performing at the Super Bowl. This comes on the heels of his 2020 album, After Hours, becoming the most-streamed R&B album of all time. The interesting thing is his 2016 album Starboy is No. 2 on the list.

This fan wants Daft Punk to join The Weeknd on stage. That would be big as Daft Punk and The Weeknd have had success working together in the past. Like The Weeknd, Daft Punk has won multiple Grammy Awards. In 2014, the duo won four Grammys including Album of the Year for Random Access Memories and Record of the Year for "Get Lucky."

Could Drake join The Weeknd on stage? Both artists are from Canada and have worked together in the past, but things have been rocky for the two, according to XXL. The two originally met in 2011 and collaborated on many various projects over the years.

The NFL is hoping The Weeknd's performance will be just as strong as Jennifer Lopez and Shakira who performed at the Super Bowl this past February. Fans loved the performance, and the show even won an Emmy Award.
