Chart notes:
Dominican rapper Tokischa has earned her first #1 on Tad's LGBT Music Chart this weekend with "De Maravisha", moving up one more place from the midweek's #2 position. The track is a collaboration with Argentinian/Spanish artist Nathy Peluso, who is widely recognized as a gay icon. Tokischa identifies as bisexual. Over the past half-week, the video for "De Maravisha" has gained an additional 354,583 views on YouTube (which is a huge increase of 6.14% since the midweek's chart!).
Three videos move up into the Top Ten this weekend. American singer/songwriter Billie Eilish (from Los Angeles, California) rises 9 notches to #7 with "Birds of a Feather". British singer/actor Olly Alexander (from Gloucestershire, England) climbs 3 notches to #8 with "Cupid's Bow". They're joined in the Top Ten by Lithuanian artist Gabrielius Vagelis, who's moving up 2 more places to #10 with "Vienu Ritmu".
