Here are all the tracks that have been featured in The Weeknd’s new series The Idol so far.

The Idol dropped a few weeks ago after months of media build-up and has left viewers divided following the first few episodes.

The gritty HBO drama starring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp was first met with backlash from critics following a scathing report written by Rolling Stone.

Its debut at Cannes Film Festival in May was also a catalyst in the show’s divided reviews and fans have started to watch the series to see what the hype is about.
