LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Frank Ocean continued to release new music this weekend to the delight of his fans.

Over the course of just a few days, the R&B artist dropped a visual album called Endless Thursday, then followed that up Saturday with a music video titled "Nikes" and, later in the day, started selling an LP named "Blonde," Time magazine reported.

"I had the time of my life making all of this," Ocean said in a Tumblr post. "Thank you all. Especially those of you who never let me forget that I had to finish. Which is basically every one of y'all."

Billboard.com said Blonde was released digitally as an Apple Music exclusive, but pop-up stores in cities such as New York and Los Angeles appeared and distributed a magazine with the album inside Saturday.

Ocean's last studio album was 2012's Channel Orange.
