The online NFT platform 'Autograph' has partnered with the music industry information platform 'Billboard' to release a 'Blinding Lights NFT' set. This set will include seven NFTs with each one based on The Weeknd's song 'Blinding Lights' and its corresponding placements on several Billboard top lists. Each of these seven NFTs will include variations in content from Blinding Lights images signed by The Weeknd to small audio blurbs from the artist himself.
The NFTs will be available on OpenSea, the massive online NFT marketplace. Each NFT will be priced differently and graded on a 10-point scale, similar to trading cards. The grade that these NFTs receive is tied to the amount of content associated with the NFT, such as a message from The Weeknd, as opposed to physical collectible cards where the grade refers to the amount of damage to the card.
