According to the Official Charts Company, the track, which became the fastest-selling single of 2015 last week, has shifted another 142,000 sales this week and has broken the UK's all-time streaming record again bringing in 3.72 million hits. On the tribute single's success, Khalifa said: "I was really honoured to be asked to be part of this song in paying tribute to Paul Walker. I hope we did him proud."
