Chart notes:
   Julia Weldon has captured the #1 spot on the LGBT chart this week with "When You Die". In addition to music, Julia has also appeared in films (such as "Parallel Sons" and "Before and After") and television (such as "Law and Order" and "High Maintenance"). According to IMDb and Wikipedia, Julia is originally from New Jersey and has a degree in philosophy from Vassar College.

   There isn't much movement otherwise within the Top Five this week. Siena Liggins (from Detroit, Michigan) hangs onto #2 for a second consecutive week. Mathew V (from Vancouver, British Columbia) moves up into the Top Three. Zee Machine (from San Francisco, California) and Jeff Carl (from Nashville, Tennessee) both move downward, but only slightly.

   Eleven songs fell off the chart this week to make way for nine new songs and two re-entries. The highest debut of the week was "Just Friends" by Jordy (from Los Angeles, California), coming in at #37. According to a recent article in Billboard magazine, the song is from an upcoming EP (due in early 2019) entitled "Welcome to the Friend Zone".

   Another noteworthy new entry this week is "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" by Skamp, which debuts at #40. Although it's tame by Western standards, the video was banned in their native Lithuania. The black-and-white clip simply shows a number of different couples (some straight, some gay, and some lesbian) kissing and showing affection. The Lithuanian government has an anti-gay "propaganda" law similar to the one in Russia, and they have blocked the video within their borders.

   Chart positions are based on (1) the previous week's position, (2) length of time on the chart, (3) my votes, (4) views on YouTube, and (5) any votes I've received by Thursday morning. If you'd like to vote for your favorite songs, please feel free to leave a comment on this blog or send me a private message (see the contact info above).
