* * * * * Charlie Puth has fast become a worldwide star thanks to the international smash hit, “See You Again,” by Wiz Khalifa (Feat. Charlie Puth). The 2 x RIAA platinum certified track – featured on Atlantic Records’ Furious 7: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, the official musical companion to Universal’s record-breaking action-thriller – has proven one of the decade’s biggest singles, topping Billboard’s “Hot 100” for a stunning 10 weeks and counting. With total worldwide streams now exceeding 76 million, “See You Again” has shattered Spotify records, making history as the most streamed track ever on Spotify in a single day (with 3.18 million global streams on April 8th alone) and in a single week (a stunning 21.9 million worldwide streams). As if all that weren’t enough, “See You Again” proved the first song to score more than 1 million Shazams over one week in nearly three years while spending four consecutive weeks at #1 on Shazam’s “Worldwide Top 200” and “USA Top 200.” Puth is currently getting ready to join Meghan Trainor on her much anticipated “MTrain Tour,” getting underway July 12th at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom and then traveling through September – for dates, please visit www.charlieputh.com/#tour. Puth and Trainor are already making waves together with the talented young tunesmith’s new single, “Marvin Gaye (Feat.
