Chart notes:
   Blair St. Clair (from Indianapolis) takes over the top spot on the countdown this week with "Irresistible". Blair (whose real name is Andrew Bryson) competed on the tenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. In 2018, Blair's debut EP (which is entitled Call My Life) reached the #1 spot on Billboard magazine's Dance/Electronic Albums chart.

   Also in the Top Five this week are: Sam Tsui (from Blue Bell, Pennsylvania), JHart (originally from Essex, England), Jordy (from Los Angeles), and Troye Sivan's collaboration with Jonsi (from Australia and Iceland, respectively).

   Seven songs fell off the countdown this week to make way for seven new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Fire On Fire" by Sam Smith (from London), coming in at #37. The ballad is from the BBC/Netflix miniseries Watership Down, an animated tale about a group of rabbits.

   Chart positions are based on (1) the previous week's position, (2) length of time on the chart, (3) views on YouTube, (4) my votes, 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).
