The "Furious 7" soundtrack, which features Wiz Khalifa and
Charlie Puth's song "See You Again," sold 45,000 albums and
583,000 songs, and was streamed 11.6 million times in the past
week, for a total of 111,000 units, according to figures from
Nielsen SoundScan. It also climbed into the top spot from No. 2
on the Billboard chart.
"Furious 7" has made more than $252 million at the U.S. box
office since its April 3 release and features the final
on-screen appearance by franchise star Walker, who died in a car
crash in 2013 before filming was completed.
At Sunday's televised MTV Movie Awards, "Furious 7" star Vin
Diesel remembered Walker on stage and sang the chorus of "See
You Again," in one of the night's more poignant moments.
The following day, the song set a record after being streamed
4.2 million times on Spotify, the most for a song in a single
day, the online music platform said on Wednesday.
Between April 6 and 12, "See You Again" became Spotify's
most-streamed song in a single week with 21.9 million plays.
The song also held the top spot of the Digital Songs chart, with
464,000 downloads last week. Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' "Uptown
Funk!" continued its hold on the No. 2 spot with 145,000
downloads.
The Billboard 200 chart tallies album sales, song sales (10
songs equal one album) and streaming activity (1,500 streams
equal one album).
Pop boy band All Time Low's latest album, "Future Hearts,"
debuted at No. 2 this week on the album chart with 80,000 units
and was the only new album to crack the top 10 of the Billboard
200.
Last week's No. 1, Wale's "Album About Nothing," dropped to No.
11.
