Wiz Khalifa’s hit single “See You Again” has set a new internet record.

On Tuesday, it was announced that the song’s official visual has become the most-watched video on YouTube, dethroning Psy’s five-year streak with “Gangnam Style.”

Forbes reports “See You Again” edged out the K-Pop hit this week with nearly 2.9 billion views in total. As of press time, Wiz’s video had been watched 2,900,522,980 times, while Psy’s had garnered 2,895,721,567 views. Impressive numbers for both artists.

“See You Again” featuring Charlie Puth was released in 2015 as a part of the Furious 7 soundtrack. It went on to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and earned three Grammy nominations, including Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

A YouTube representative told Forbes the video continues to receive millions of plays every day, despite being uploaded more than two years ago. 

Shortly after the record was announced, Wiz went to Instagram thanking his fans for their love and support.

​​Puth seemed to be humbled by the news.
