Despite a 17% Drop In Sales Wiz Khalifa Remains At #1

Despite the fact that he is facing challenges in his marriage, as stated in an Inquisitr article, Khalifa’s track is still toping the list.

“See You Again,” from the soundtrack to the blockbuster film Furious 7, was released on Atlantic Records and promoted to radio by Roadrunner Promotions. It kept the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 by tallying a sixth week atop the Radio Songs chart, with 163 million in all-format audience (down 3 percent), according to Nielsen Music. It holds at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (15.4 million U.S. streams, down 7 percent), after eight weeks on top, and falls 4-7 on Digital Songs (98,000 downloads sold, down 17 percent, in the week ending June 28), which it led for seven weeks. It also passed three million (3.1 million) in sales to-date.

And, as it extends its run atop the Hot 100, “See You Again” moves to within a week of matching the longest run at No. 1 ever for a rap hit (defined as a title that has appeared on Hot Rap Songs).

“See You Again” keeps its lock on the Hot 100’s top spot, but with a smaller margin of victory than last week over Swift’s “Bad Blood,” as the former decreases by 5 percent in overall activity and the latter gains by 2 percent. “Blood” leads Digital Songs for a fourth week (206,000, down 3 percent); lifts 5-4 on Radio Songs (128 million, up 22 percent), winning the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award for a fourth week; and dips 4-5 on Streaming Songs (10.8 million, down 5 percent).

FettyWap‘s “Trap Queen” remains at No. 3 on the Hot 100 after reaching No. 2. It logs a second week atop Streaming Songs (20.4 million, down 5 percent) and a fourth week at No. 1 on the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart (6.1 million, down 4 percent).

Walk the Moon‘s “Shut Up and Dance” holds at its No. 4 Hot 100 peak. It leads Hot Rock Songs for a 12th week and the Adult Pop Songs radio airplay chart for a sixth week. On Radio Songs, it pushes 3-2 (149 million, up 3 percent).

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top five, JasonDerulo‘s “Want to Want Me” keeps at its No. 5 high, despite its 2-3 fall on Radio Songs (143 million, down 1 percent). As previously reported, “Want” becomes Derulo’s fourth No. 1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart, following his debut hit “Whatcha Say” (2009), “In My Head,” (2010) and “Talk Dirty” featuring 2 Chainz (last year).

Meanwhile, the next single from Derulo’s new album Everything Is 4 is “Cheyenne,” which goes to pop radio at the end of the month.

Wiz Khalifa truly makes a good music and will continue to be celebrated by his fans globally for the production of good music.
