American DJ/producer Diplo (from Hendersonville, Tennessee) and American actress/singer Dove Cameron (from Burbank, California) take over the #1 spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart at midweek with "Use Me (Brutal Hearts)", moving up one more place from the weekend's #2 position. They're joined on the track by American country singer Sturgill Simpson, who uses the pseudonym Johnny Blue Skies. Actor Sean Penn also appears in the video. Over the past three days, the video for "Use Me (Brutal Hearts)" has gained an additional 44,798 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 0.77% since the weekend's chart).
Four videos move up into the Top Ten at midweek, including a return from a former #1 hit: Canadian pop musician Xana (from Vancouver Island, British Columbia) rebounds back up 5 places to #10 with "Bad Bandit". American singer/songwriter Chappell Roan (from Willard, Missouri) also re-enters the Top Ten, rebounding back up 4 positions to #9 with "Kaleidoscope". American R&B musician Serpentwithfeet (from Baltimore, Maryland) rises 7 notches to #7 with "Gonna Go". They're joined in the Top Ten by Canadian pop singer Mathew V (from Delta, British Columbia), who's climbing 4 spots to #8 with "The Man I Love".
