Wiz Khalifa‘s ‘See You Again’ has done far more than top the UK and US singles chart this month.
For, as it blocks Mark Ronson‘s and Bruno Mars‘ ‘Uptown Funk‘ from spending another week atop the Billboard Hot 100, the song has earned the record for scoring the most plays in one day on the music streaming service Spotify.
Brilliant news below…
The number was pulled from the ‘Furious 7‘ soundtrack and plays in the final scene of the movie, prompting the flick’s fans to head over to Spotify and stream it 4.2 million times in a single day.
Its success parallels that of the movie’s, nabbing the record as the release became the first the film to cross the $1 billion earned worldwide mark by Universal Pictures.
Atlantic Records CEO Craig Kallman shares:
This is one of those special moments when all the forces have aligned to create a song that is resonating emotionally with millions around the world. The combination of Wiz’s star power with the introduction of Charlie as a brilliant singer and songwriter is truly magical, striking a nerve with Paul Walker’s legion of fans and the film’s enormous audience. All of us at Atlantic are thrilled and gratified by the response that this moving tribute has received from Spotify’s global listeners.

Wiz be like “Thank you Paul”. Lol but on a serious note, the song is great.
The song is only poppin’ cos of Paul.
If Nicki had died and itwas about her, the song woulda flopped harder than TPP
omg. i take that back. I shouldn’t drag people like that and make jokes about death.
That’s effed up. Y’all heffers bring the worst out in people, I swear.
Charlie Puth is what even makes this song special at all, but let’s ignore the only guy actually singing and playing an instrument in the song.
And before you haters try the “he’s the featured artist” excuse, remember that Bruno Mars is the feature in ‘Uptown Funk’ and he gets just as much credit as Mark Ronson.
He’s cute too
Paul’s impact…..
RIP Paul. Damn this is so sad…
being a paul fan is such a trend right now, shame how he only has starpower dead
TGJ why are you guys so damn late with this Wiz & Charlie did this a day or two ago? Lol but yet if this was some hot mess a*s song by Chris brown or Trey that went as high as number 23 on iTunes you guys would have posted the moment it happened but when a Black man makes a positive tribute song that breaks records you guys are late with it? Hmmm. Smh. Lol
Congrats to Wiz and I’m glad somebody actually stopped bruno/ronson reign. I actually thought they were gonna break queen Mariah`s n B2m reign wch would have been a monstrosity to say the least. Bt congrats to them n Wiz
