Childish Gambino’s ‘This Is America’ and Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Alright’ saw massive Spotify gains amid the George Floyd protests

As protesters gather across the United States to demand justice for George Floyd, the unarmed black man killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin last week, listeners are revisiting songs that express the black experience in America. Two songs in particular—Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”—rocketed up the U.S. Spotify chart on Tuesday . “This Is America” leapt to No. 2 and amassed 1.117 million stateside streams, while “Alright” made its return to the chart at No. 11 with 752,836 U.S. streams.
Both songs take starkly different approaches to the trials and tribulations of being black in America. Musically, “This Is America” alternates between cheery, singsong melodies and hard, menacing trap beats, as Gambino sings about the commodification of black culture and the epidemic of gun violence in America.
