3''Furious 7: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack'' is, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as you can tell]], the soundtrack of the 2015 blockbuster ''Film/Furious7''. The album features a wide variety of artists, and contains primarily {{hip hop}}, [[ElectronicMusic EDM]], urban pop, and latin music. The soundtrack was made to provide the perfect urban dance party[[note]]apart from the [[BlackSheepHit incongruent]] "See You Again"[[/note]].

5The album debuted at at #12 on the ''Billboard'' 200, but shot up to ''#1'' on the chart following the success of the movie. Its biggest success was that it produced "See You Again", a song by Music/WizKhalifa featuring Music/CharliePuth made in tribute to the late Creator/PaulWalker. The song became one of the biggest hits of 2015, setting several records[[note]]tied with Music/{{Eminem}}'s [[Film/EightMile "Lose Yourself"]] for the second longest-running #1 rap single in America behind Music/LilNasX's "Old Town Road"; the most-streamed track in a single day on Spotify (since beaten by Music/OneDirection's "Drag Me Down"); the most worldwide streams on a song in one week (in both the US and the UK); the most-viewed video on Website/YouTube from July 10 to August 4, 2017 (for the music video)[[/note]] and dethroning Mark Ronson and Music/BrunoMars' "Uptown Funk!" from the top of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 after 14 weeks, after which it stayed at #1 for 12 non-consecutive weeks. [[BreakawayPopHit The song eclipsed the movie itself in terms of popularity]], which is no small feat considering ''Furious 7'' made 1.5 billion dollars. "Ride Out" and "Go Hard or Go Home" were also popular songs.

27!!''It's been a long day without you my friend, and I'll tell you all about it when I trope you again''
28* AdvertisedExtra: Music/IggyAzalea in "Go Hard or Go Home". It's equally credited to her and Wiz Khalifa, but Wiz does almost the entire song while Iggy only contributes a verse. Also, Rich Homie Quan in "Ride Out", who only does the intro despite having equal credit to the others.
29* AllStarCast: The album features a variety of huge stars from rap, latin, and EDM genres, mixed with some lesser-knowns.
30* BadassDriver: Several songs, such as "Ride Out", "How Bad Do You Want It (Oh Yeah)", and "Go Hard or Go Home", portray one. As to be expected, considering the movie the soundtrack is based on.
31* BoastfulRap: All the songs with rap apart from "See You Again", as to be expected.
32* CelebrityElegy: "See You Again" is [[InMemoriam is dedicated to]] Creator/PaulWalker, who died in a car accident during production of the movie. It plays over the InMemoriam montage for Walker at the end of the movie.
33* ForeignLanguageTheme: "Meneo" and "Ay Vamos" are in Spanish.
34* GenreRoulette: A variety of different genres come together on this soundtrack, and they all fit pretty well.
35** Party hip-hop: "Ride Out", "Off-Set", "Go Hard or Go Home"
36** Hardcore hip-hop: "Payback"
37** Urban pop: "How Bad Do You Want It (Oh Yeah)"
38** EDM/Trap: "Get Low", "Blast Off" "G.D.F.R.", "Turn Down for What"
39** Reggaeton: "Ay Vamos"
40** Latin pop: "My Angel", "Meneo"
41** Soft pop: "See You Again", "I Will Return"
42** Trip-hop/trance: "Six Days"
43** Snap: "Whip"
44* IntercourseWithYou: "How Bad Do You Want It (Oh Yeah)" has hints of this, as the title would suggest.
45* MoodWhiplash: "My Angel", an EDM latin pop song, is followed by "See You Again", a piano ballad to an actor that died, and then "Payback", a HardcoreHipHop song.
46* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: "Whip" by Famous to Most (easily the [[IronicName least well-known artist]] on the soundtrack) is the last song and doesn't appear in the movie.
47* OdeToIntoxication: "Ay Vamos" references smoking marijuana.
48* RepurposedPopSong: "Get Low", "Blast Off", "Six Days", "Ay Vamos", "G.D.F.R.", "Turn Down For What", and "Whip" were the only songs not made for the movie.
49* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: "Payback" is about Deckard Shaw's quest for revenge against the heroes of the story.
50* SurprisinglyGentleSong: "See You Again", in-between all the urban rap and twerk-tasic EDM, is a soft piano ballad that plays tribute to the late Creator/PaulWalker. It sounds nothing like the rest of the album, and was [[BlackSheepHit the biggest hit]]. "I Will Return" by Skylar Grey is also a soft piano ballad, but it wasn't released as a single.
51* UnexpectedCharacter: Compared to all the stars on the soundtrack, Charlie Puth was probably the least well known above only Famous to Most and Lookas, with only one single to his name before the album was released. Him being selected to sing the chorus of "See You Again" proved well in making it a massive hit.
52* VillainSong: "Payback", being from the perspective of Deckard Shaw, is the only one about the villain on the soundtrack.
53* AWildRapperAppears: "See You Again" has this feel, being a piano ballad almost suited to adult contemporary apart from the rap verses.
