With the release of this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s “See You Again,” featured on the Furious 7 soundtrack, has tied with two other songs for the longest run at No. 1 for a rap single.
The two other songs that also hold that specific title are the Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow” and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.”
In order to become the sole rap single with the longest run at No. 1, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania lyricist would have to find himself at No. 1 for a 13th week, a feat Billboard referred to as “a serious challenge.”
The specific challenge “See You Again” faces is Jamaican-born singer OMI’s “Cheerleader” record. “Cheerleader” could also find itself at No. 1 next week.
“’Again’ holds the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 despite no longer leading any of the chart’s component lists…Can ‘Again’ claim the record all to itself with a 13th week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 next week? It faces a serious challenge from OMI’s ‘Cheerleader’: it pushes 3-2 and trails ‘Again’ by a narrow margin this week,” Billboard writes.
In addition to Wiz Khalifa, Eminem, and the Black Eyed Peas, other rap artists who have had the longest-leading rap hits on the Billboard Hot 100 include Puff Daddy, Flo Rida, Kanye West, and Nelly.

I just want to punch this nicca in his face just walk up to him and punch him in the face, I’m talking a knock out punch to the face, like BHAM! In the face And watch his skinny ass drop back, I hate his music, I hate the way he raps, word for word, I hate his voice, I hate his purple or blond hair whatever the color is now and no disrespect to Paul but I hate the song “see you again” they coulda got someone way better to rap on the joint. Kendrick? T.I? Fiasco?
Wiz ain’t THAT bad. Sure, he’s not great, but he has some songs here and there I like. But that laugh he does is super annoying.
nothing more pitiful than an insecure man
trillscience is an insecure man.
People should be praising this dude for his dope accomplishment instead of hating.
Wiz doesn’t deserve praise for making trash music.
insecure lost men just cant figure out that the only thing they hate is their pitiful life so they direct it at men who have actually at least accomplished some goals in life
trillscience is a dickriding stan who lives his life through others and spends his time defending those who don’t know of his existence.
I haven’t listened to Wiz since black & yellow. Bruh got too big & I was young on that stoner money shit when I listened to him before. I listen to seshallowaterboys atm & truthfully I absorb music based upon how it relates to my life. Besides i said nothing of Wiz & anonymous got his feeling hurt. See what i mean about insecure men.
If anyone’s insecure and got their feelings hurt, it’s you attacking people expressing their opinions and call them haters.

Surprised not anything has happened to Eminem considering his mouthiness. Sometimes that happens when artists speak what is on mind. Looks as though if one is producing work, then that person or people is given exception- sometimes.
