Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” Becomes First Hip-Hop Video with 1 Billion Views on YouTube

Congratulations are due as Wiz Khalifa has achieved a new milestone thanks to his groundbreaking single “See You Again” featuring Charlie Puth. After tying the record for longest running #1 hip-hop single ever and becoming the most streamed track on Google Play for 2015, the song from the official soundtrack to Fast & Furious 7 has reached the 1 billion views mark on Youtube.

“See You Again” is now the first hip-hop track to pass the humongous number on the video platform. Some might argue that Psy’s “Gangnam Style” is also hip-hop, but let’s not spoil it for Wiz and Chalie. Currently at 1,004,350,672 views, it is the tenth most watched video on YouTube.
