• 'See You Again' Gains AC Airplay; More Charlie Puth, No Wiz Khalifa

    Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again" may be done at the top of the Hot 100, but it's just now picking up steam on the Adult Contemporary charts. This may surprise conservative listeners everywhere, as hip-hop is about as welcome on AC radio as Iggy Azalea at the BET Awards. The trick? Getting soulful crooner Puth to release his own version of the song, minus Khalifa's headlining raps.

  • OMI 'Cheerleader' Knocks Wiz Khalifa 'See You Again' from No. 1 on Hot 100

    The times, they are a changin'. Today (July 13) marks the first time in its history that Billboard has released its charts on a Monday (following the implementation of a universal Friday release date), and with the new chart date, we have a new No. 1. After weeks of vaulting up the charts, OMI's crossover reggae hit "Cheerleader" has unseated longtime chart topper "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa at the top spot.

  • 7 Longest Hip-Hop Streaks At No. 1: Eminem, The Black Eyed Peas, Wiz Khalifa

    Yesterday we learned that Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth had matched hip-hop history by topping the Hot 100 for a 12th week with "See You Again," the pair's smash from the Furious 7 soundtrack. The genre has come a long way since Blondie landed the first rap atop the Hot 100 during 1980 (yeah, Blondie) but still: Only seven hip-hop songs have managed to spend at least 10 weeks on top of arguably the biggest chart in music. Join us as we count up from fewest weeks to most weeks at no. 1, and check back next Wednesday to see if Khalifa and co. manage to take history a step further.

    Wiz Khalifa (and Charlie Puth) stand on the brink of history, having tied the streak for the longest period for any hip-hop song atop the Billboard Hot 100 with "See You Again," the showcase number from the Furious 7 soundtrack.

  • Wiz Khalifa 'See You Again' Tops Hot 100: OMI, Silento & Rachel Platten Make Gains

    It's not even a "See You Again" for Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Puth and the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100: it's that they're never leaving. For the 12th nonconsecutive week, the Furious 7 soundtrack single has topped the charts - but new singles from OMI, Jack Ü with Justin Bieber and Rachel Platten are coming up quickly as summer gets hotter.

  • Billboard Hot 100 vs. Official Charts Company: 2Pac, Wiz Khalifa and 40 Years of No. 1s

    Few people realize just how different the music across the pond is from that we listen to in America, that the Hot 100 doesn't exist in the UK, and that its equivalent to our singles chart doesn't just feature a whole bunch of American artists with even more One Direction and Ellie Goulding tracks.Music Times is looking back at the last five decades of music, and at the no. 1 hits on April 2 every ten years on the spot, going back to 1975. The ultimate contest, of course, is which country has better taste. Last month the win went to the UK in the best-of-five showdown. This month features Wiz Khalifa, Carrie Underwood, 2Pac and more in the field.

    It's another big summer week for Wiz Khalifa's Furious 7 single "See You Again." For the 10th week this year, the Charlie Puth featuring track crowns the Billboard Hot 100, but one song continues its charge up the charts and looks to be a solid contender for the coveted No. 1 spot: OMI's surprise sunny hit "Cheerleader."

  • Wiz Khalifa 'See You Again' Heads Hot 100 for Ninth Week as OMI 'Cheerleader' Breaks Into Top 10

    Wiz Khalifa doesn't even have to say "See You Again" to the No. 1 spot in the country, because his Charlie Puth featuring Furious 7 single just can't leave the top. For the ninth week, the Paul Walker tribute track sits at the summit of the chart, holding off singles from Taylor Swift, Walk the Moon and Jason Derulo. And, while Khalifa seems to be the king of early summer, one song is coming for him: OMI's crossover his "Cheerleader."
