Furious 7 soundtrack is No. 1 on music chart too

The film Furious 7 has dominated the box office for the last two weeks and now Furious 7 soundtrack “See You Again” tops the Billboard albums chart this week. The soundtrack, released four weeks ago by Atlantic Records, rises to No. 1 this week.

Furious 7 is the fourth soundtrack to top the chart in the past 12 months, according to Billboard, following Frozen, Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and the Empire TV soundtrack. The song sold 464,000 individual downloads last week, and that translates into 58,000 track equivalent album sales for the soundtrack, over 50% of its 111,000 sales total.

“See You Again,” by Wiz Khalifa and featuring Charlie Puth, becomes the new No. 1 single, ending a 14-week run by Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk.” The song has also broken records on Spotify, where it is the top-ranked track in 26 countries, from Sweden to Singapore. Furious 7 debuted at the top of the box office and it went on to earn $51.2 million.
