Donald Glover - Childish Gambino
Childish Gambino â aka actor, director, singer, writer, Donald Glover â has kept the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in a row with his recent single "This Is America.". âThis is Americaâ is Gambinoâs first single since he dropped the 2016 studio album Awaken, My Love!.
"America" takes over the No. 1 spot from Drakeâs âNice for What,â which has ruled the chart for four non consecutive weeks.The song already marked Gambino's first foray into the top 10 of On-Demand Streaming Songs, after his earlier hit âRedboneâ peaked at No. 11 (July 1, 2017; 10.8 million on-demand audio streams). Now, âAmericaâ has 26.7 million on-demand audio streams earned the week of May 17 -- its first full seven days of tracking -- according to Nielsen Music.
âAmericaâ concurrently spends its second week atop Streaming Songs, increasing in overall domestic streams to 69.6 million total, up 7 percent. A total of 61 percent of the songâs overall streams come from video views (down from 68 percent in its release week).
The imagery and iconography in Glover's video has kept culture critics talking since it dropped on May 5. Ongoing political and cultural tumult and turmoil, Childish Gambinoâs âThis is Americaâ appears to be a commentary on black life in America and American culture as a whole.
In the music video, directed by frequent Gambino collaborator Hiro Murai, Gambino portrays satire of the minstrel tradition and the stalemated gun debate, along with about a dozen other thingsâitâs daring, provocative, traumatizing, cynical, discomfiting, ultraviolent, implicating, depressingly meme-worthy and some might say genius work.
Gloverâs[Bridge: Childish Gambino & Young Thug] We just wanna party Party just for you We just want the money Money just for you (yeah) I know you wanna party Party just for me Girl, you got me dancin' (girl, you got me dancin') Dance and shake the frame (yeah)
Itâs main focus is the dancing around with school-aged children gleefully, seemingly unbothered by the chaotic scenes of violence in the background.
Showing the relationship between the dancing and partying and violence that combine to make up so much of both entertainment and black life in America. Donald and a group of school children perform popular dances like the âshootâand the âRoy Purdy dance,â while other people scatter in the background. Donald and the children remain the focal point, representing how social media blinds people from the true problems in America by feeding them entertainment and pointless trends... This song has caused a lot of people to talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY - video. I am sure if you watch you will be shocked or taken back. enjoy. rated r.
