N.W.A. Hits The Top 40 For The First Time Ever

Movie soundtracks have been a reliable source of hits lately: the most prominent example is Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again," which emerged from Furious 7 and reigned at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for weeks.

The N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton has been a late-summer box office success, and it has now spawned a hit of its own to match: the title track, which originally came out as a single in the summer of 1988. "Straight Outta Compton" debuted at No. 38 on the most recent Hot 100, making it the group's first crossover success.
