Video targeting gun violence gets 100 million hits

NEW YORK - A graphic music video by Childish Gambino has racked up more than 100 million views in just more than a week on YouTube with its powerful takes on gun violence and racism.

This Is America - by actor and recording artist Donald Glover's edgy alter ego - is a raw take on racism, gun violence and consumer society hit the nine-figure-mark in a week, just behind of global hits such as Adele's Hello (four days) and Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus (in six days).

The four-minute video begins with a shirtless Glover dancing to soothing rhythms in an empty warehouse and singing "We just wanna party" and "We just want the money".
