GAMBINO DETHRONES DRAKE!
Drake’s streak at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart has officially come to an end, as Childish Gambino takes over the #1 spot. According to Billboard, the multi-talented rapper’s latest single, “This Is America,”debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart this week, becoming his first-ever chart-topping song.
Gambino landed his first No. 1 record mostly due to the music video for the record going viral on social media following his Saturday Night Live performance last week. “This Is America” has become the most-streamed and top-selling song this week, hitting the top slot on the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts.
The entertainer reportedly garnered 65.3 million U.S. streams for the hit record, with 68 percent of those streams counting from the music video. “This Is America” also sold 78,000 downloads within the first five days of its release. Prior to this accomplishment, Gambino’s highest mark on the Hot 100 chart came from “Redbone,” which peaked at No. 12 last August.
Congratulations to Childish Gambino.
