Chart notes:
   For the second week in a row, Blair St. Clair has the #1 video on the LGBT chart with "Irresistible". Also in the Top Five this week are: Troye Sivan & Jonsi, Jordy, Sam Tsui, and Christopher Sorensen.

   There are now three videos for "Play" by Jax Jones/Years and Years. The first was the cute "Visualizer" version, which depicted Jax and Olly as animated Lego toys dancing around a giant Play-Doh container. The second was the "Live Session" version that I used in my playlist last week. It featured Jax and Olly performing the song in an arcade and playing video games. (It was #42 on last week's playlist.) The third version that just came out this week is the "official video" for the song, in which Jax and Olly are dancing on a gigantic supermarket checkstand. I will be using this new version in my playlists from now on. It's #19 in this week's playlist.

   Seven songs fell off the chart this week to make way for seven new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Roi" by Bilal Hassani, coming in at #20. Bilal has been chosen to represent France at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv.

   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, feel free to leave a comment on this blog or send me a private message (see the contact info above).
