• '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.

    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.

    Lil Wayne and Charlie Puth have linked up to deliver possibly the biggest track on Atlantic/Big Beat's soundtrack for the upcoming film 808 about the influence of the Roland RT-808. Presumably unlike the documentary, the "Nothing But Trouble" laments the new breed of "model" that only aspires to gain traction on social media, notably Instagram and Twitter. Charlie Puth of "See You Again" fame carries the hook with his soft and vulnerable voice with that same theme.
