Check out the midweek figures.

Having racked up nearly 125 million YouTube views in just over a week, it's not surprising to see that Childish Gambino's globally-praised track, This Is America, is now storming to the top of the ARIA Singles chart. 

According to midweek figures, the single, which debuted on the list last week at #7, is expected to climb straight into the top three and push for top spot, currently occupied by Drake's Nice For What.

This Is America topped both the US Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Hip Hop Songs list last week. 

It's also expected that 5 Seconds Of Summer's Youngblood will push into the top five after climbing nine spots last week to place at #9.
