Chart notes:
American musician Tyler Rayn (who's originally from Longview, Washington & now resides in Nashville, Tennessee) recaptures the #1 spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart at midweek with "Just Go", moving up 2 places from the weekend's #3 position for a second non-consecutive week at #1. When the track was released, Tyler posted on social media "As a gay man, I spent years letting others make me feel unworthy... I wrote 'Just Go' for anyone who's ever been mistreated, undervalued, or drained by toxic people." Over the past half-week, the video for "Just Go" has gained an additional 2,814 views on YouTube (which is a huge increase of 8.57% since the weekend's chart!).
Four videos move up into the Top Ten at midweek, including a return from a former #1 hit: Spanish musician Guitarricadelafuente rebounds back up 2 places to #9 with "Full Time Papi". American country singer Chris Housman (originally from Hanston, Kansas) rises 8 spots to #4 with "The Dog". American singer/songwriter Jake Wesley Rogers (from Ozark, Missouri) climbs 10 notches to #8 with "Hot Gospel". They're joined in the Top Ten by American artist Lizzo (originally from Houston, Texas & now living in Minneapolis, Minnesota), who's jumping 10 positions to #10 with "Still Bad".
Twelve songs fall off the chart to make way for twelve new songs. The midweek chart features 12 debuts by LGBTQ artists from the U.S.A., Brazil, Germany, Chile, Thailand, Japan, Spain, and Canada:
