Wiz Khalifa dominated the Pop charts again this year with his smash hit ‘See You Again’ featuring Charlie Puth, which was taken from the soundtrack to the film Fast & Furious 7. It came his second #1 on Billboard Hot 100 following ‘Black & Yellow’ in 2011.
The music video, which doubles as a Paul Walker tribute, has reached the milestone of 1 billion views on YouTube. It is currently at 1,004,350,672 views, thus becoming the first Hip-Hop video to achieve the big feat. You could argue that Korean artist Psy, who leads the chart of most watched videos with over 2 billion views on ‘Gangnam Style’, is a rapper but we really don’t consider it as “Hop-Hop”, do we?
Here’s a list of most watched videos of all time on YouTube as on October 7, 2015:
1. PSY – ‘Gangnam Style’ 2,426,500,822
