Chart notes:
Spanish dancer/singer Lola Indigo reaches the #1 spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart this weekend with "La Santa", moving up two more places from the midweek's #3 position. Lola started her career in 2017 as a contestant on the television talent competition Operación Triunfo. After the show Lola signed with Universal Music and released her debut single, which peaked at #3 on Spain's Promusicae chart and was certified as triple platinum. In 2019 she won the award for Best Spanish Act at The MTV Europe Music Awards. She is openly bisexual. Over the past half-week, the video for "La Santa" has gained an additional 171,796 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 3.26% since the midweek's chart).
Five videos move up into the Top 10 this weekend. Canadian musician Jade LeMac (from Vancouver, British Columbia) climbs 7 notches to #4 with "Car Accident". Italian/Norwegian singer/songwriter Alessandra Mele jumps 12 places to #7 with "Queen of Kings". German artist Lie Ning rises 4 spots to #8 with "Offline". American singer Zee Machine (who was raised in China & now resides in Los Angeles, California) leaps ahead 14 positions to #9 with "Thunder". They're joined in the Top 10 by Thai singer Qeetha, who's moving up 11 notches to #10 with "Tis Tis".
Five songs fall off the chart to make way for five new songs. The weekend chart features 5 debuts by LGBTQ artists from the U.S.A., Canada, and Norway:
- PrettiBoiRoq (from North Carolina, USA) & Chanel Jole (from California, USA)
- Xana (from British Columbia, Canada)
- Sam Tsui (from Pennsylvania, USA) & Casey Breves (from New York, USA)
- Marck Angel (from New York, USA)

Chart positions are determined by a system of points assigned from a combination of YouTube views and votes.
