It's gotten an additional 10 million views in 12 hours. It's a shame if these streams aren't included in Billboard's calculations. I'm actually shocked the label isn't moving the video to YouTube at this point. The video is categorized under "film/movies" on YouTube as well. Madre mia. What are they doing?

Correct. Or at least that's been the case in the past. Perhaps this will be the Paul Walker exception that'll change the streaming game forever. If not, UF will likely make history soon enough.

I'm surprised radio isn't giving this 200 or 300+ spins already

RIP to Paul Walker though...

The video is on Wiz's YouTube page now: The lyrics are pretty simple and therefore could be considered "generic", but damn, I love this song. I can't watch the video without crying at the end. Should've been Tyrese and Ludacris... Even though I really like the song from Wiz, I agree, it would have been cool to have a tribute song from Tyrese and Ludacris. It would have packed even more of a punch since they were such close friends with Paul.

It would have packed even more of a punch since they were such close friends with Paul. Definitely. "I'll Be Missing You" felt so genuine back in the day because it was from B.I.G.'s best friend, ex-wife/child's mother, and a group he often collaborated with. How well did Wiz know Paul? And did Charlie Puth ever even meet him?

I think (whoever controls the soundtrack portion) picked Wiz again for the main artist of the soundtrack again, due to his duet with 2 Chainz on the last movie did well. Paul's death most likely prompted him to do "See You Again" as the lead of Furious 7. Tbh, I think his duet with Iggy would've been the first single.

And did Charlie Puth ever even meet him? Maybe Wiz didn't know Paul personally, but I'm sure he knew someone who passed away too early in their life. This song is dedicated to Paul, but the appeal is that everybody who listens to this song can imagine it being for one of their loved ones. I think Wiz was also a good choice for this because he's one of the few rappers who can actually sing a hook on their own, as when he sings about being family on it.

I didn't like this until I saw the film. That ending was sad.

I said this in the urban forum, but I will say it again here. I enjoyed listening to this at the end of Fast & Furious 7. Exceeded my expectations.

According to kworb, it's on track to sell 477k this week.. They're usually somewhat accurate.
