Chart notes:
Italian/Norwegian musician Alessandra Mele takes over the #1 spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart this weekend with "Queen of Kings", moving up one more place from the midweek's #2 position. Alessandra began her career as a contestant on the television talent competition The Voice: Norges Beste Stemme. She was chosen to represent Norway in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest with "Queen of Kings", which finished in fifth place. The song went on to reach #1 in Norway and was a Top Ten hit in eleven other countries. Alessandra came out publicly as bisexual in January 2023 during an interview with Eurovision Fun. Over the past half-week, the video for "Queen of Kings" has gained an additional 1,806,501 views on YouTube (which is a huge increase of 6.09% since the midweek's chart!).
Four videos move up into the Top Ten this weekend, including a return from a former #1 hit: Puerto Rican singer/songwriter Kany García rebounds back up 5 places to #10 with "Supe Que Eras Para Mí". Norwegian musician Ruben climbs 7 notches to #4 with "Easier". American rappers PrettiBoiRoq (originally from Pamlico County, North Carolina) and Chanel Jole (from Los Angeles, California) rise 14 spots to #8 with "BBA". They're joined in the Top 10 by Canadian musician Xana (from Vancouver Island, British Columbia), who's leaping ahead 16 positions to #9 with "Bad Bandit".
Thirteen songs fall off the chart to make way for thirteen new songs. The weekend chart features 13 debuts by LGBTQ artists from France, the U.S.A., Uruguay, Belgium, Chile, Serbia, England, Spain, Brazil, Germany, and Canada:
