Wiz Khalifa's tribute song, 'See You Again,' to 'Fast and Furious' actor Paul Walker has been named the quickest-selling single of the year.
The song sung by Charlie Puth, which features on the soundtrack to the film, rocketed 21 places this week with combined chart sales of 193,000, racking up 3.68 million streams, beating Ellie Goulding's 'Fifty Shades of Grey' song 'Love Me Like You Do,' the Mirror reported.
The melody pays tribute to the late cast member Walker, who has been a part of the hit film series from the start as Brian O'Conner, and was killed in a car crash in November 2013 while the movie was being filmed.
This is Khalifa's 2nd time in the top of the Official Singles Chart, as first was back in 2012 with Maroon 5's 'Payphone'.
