Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” track off the Fast & Furious 7 soundtrack has officially become the fastest-selling single of 2015 so far.
The track, which features vocals from rising singer Charlie Puth, climbed 21 places this week with combined chart sales of 193,000. The single also landed at No. 1 in the UK charts, Daily Mail notes.
Official Charts reports that “See You Again” knocked off Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do,” which was the previous fastest-seller with 172,000 chart sales.
“See You Again” set a new streaming record as well with 3.68 million streams in seven days. The previous record was also held by Goulding with 2.58 million streams.
This is the 27-year-old’s second appearance at the top of Official Singles Chart. He also appeared on the chart in 2012 for a guest appearance on Maroon 5’s “Payphone.”
Khalifa recently opened up about writing the emotional tribute for Paul Walker.
“To have the responsibility to do the Paul Walker record was really dope,”Khalifa said. “I basically thought about what the movie stands for as far as family and the brotherhood, and of course, using the metaphor of the last ride and the last race because of that last scene.”
