The Weeknd has shared a pic to his socials saying, 'album mode full effect' and in less than 24 hours it's had more than 353K likes, with a massive 113K fans commenting.

Many of the comments left by excited fans are guessing about potential collabs on the album, with one saying, 'Is Lana on it', with another replying, 'yess, is lana there?' sic

Another said, 'Collab with Shawn Canadian icons 😍', whilst a one more fan said, 'Drop the album already son DROP IT!!!!'.

Now take a look at this year's biggest collabs:

It's been three years since the release of The Weeknd's album 'Starboy' in 2016. The album reached Number 5 on release and spawned several songs, including, 'Starboy', 'I Feel It Coming', and 'Party Monster'.

Not much is known currently about the new album, but it's been reported that it is called 'Chapter 6', after the singer told fans in Toronto last year, "Being in Toronto these past two days, I haven’t been this inspired in years. I want you guys to be the first to know that I’m working on my new album. Chapter 6 coming soon."
