The king of summer! :cool:

15. Childish Gambino - This Is America

This is one of those songs that seems 'too good' to be a hit, would be awesome if it reached top 40!

05. Jess Glynne - I’ll Be There

13. Childish Gambino - This Is America

!!!!!

Is this a personal best for Childish? (Solo)

sure it is, the only song of his that I recall is Redbone, which was a small hit thanks to Spotify not itunes

then he was famously featured in Leona's Trouble

but don't think (from memory) that he's charted with anything else

As well as Trouble with Leona getting to #7 and Redbone at #51, he's also had a solo song chart with '3005' which got to #79 in 2014.

It will be.

3005 is an all time fave :sub: He's so talented in so many ways, hope he's huge this era! I think he could with a sound more like Kaui era, obv Redbone did well already but wasn't the most chart friendly style nor was the rest of the last era.

Tbf I think overall he's bigger than he comes across to be - 'sweatpants' always comes on at parties in my experience and 'Redbone' was the subject of one of the most relevant memes of last year.

Really want This Is America to go Top 40 :wub: I love everything Gambino's done so far, 3005 still sounds great and takes me back to when I listened to Capital Xtra lots, but TIA is on another level entirely. Like others have said, so much meaning in the music video. I will be so happy if it becomes a hit.

Will Smith is one of my idols :wub:

 

(and probably seen as perennially uncool in the rap/hip-hop world!)

will smith is also uncool in the real non-hip-hop world :)

 

gambino #11 now

 

10. Childish Gambino - This Is America

17. Liam Payne & J Balvin - Familiar

 

61. Aloe Blacc - Brooklyn in the Summer

 

will smith is also uncool in the real non-hip-hop world :)

 

That is why he’s cool to me :P

I think this is America could hit number one, it's now hit iTunes in Australia and I can see it doing it here and being big on spotify

07. Jess Glynne - I’ll Be There

17. Liam Payne & J Balvin - Familiar

22. Cardi B - I Like It

I hope he can go #1 in Australia but Post Malone is looking like a fierce competition, currently with 17 songs in the Top 50 and Psycho at #1 :lol: Better Now is #1 on Spotify too

I shouldn't be trusted on this since I mis-predicted last week but Post Malone won't even be top 2 on ARIA next week. Ariana & Drake are the contenders at the moment.

What happened to Paloma Faith Make your own kind of Music can’t see it anywhere?
