Ah, yes, the Furious 7 soundtrack. Definitely something everyone recalls

The most popular song of the year from one of the most popular movie franchises that had been in the global news due to the death of its star. Probably the most memorable song from a soundtrack of the century so far.

I'm Just Ken (Barbie), Skyfall, Let it Go (Frozen), Remember Me (Coco), Happy (from Despicable Me 2), a Star is Born (Shallow), are all arguably wayyyyy more memorable and these are just off the top of my head. We've had quite a few memorable songs in soundtracks this millennium.

edit: I had forgotten about Jai Ho (Slumdog Millionaire) and Lose Yourself (8 mile)

It's obviously subjective, but in terms of numbers the only contender in that list is Let It Go, which had about 1/3rd the reach.

Nothing on that list - movies or songs - had the cultural impact of Furious 7 or See You Again.
