Chart notes:
   Even though he'd already hit #1 with "Lucky Strike" four weeks ago, Troye Sivan just wasn't finished with that #1 spot. Strong voting and views for the past couple of weeks have propelled him back up the chart to land at #1 again. This is the second non-consecutive week at #1 for that video.

   Troye has two tracks in the Top Five once again, as "I'm So Tired" regains seven spots to land at #3. The remainder of the Top Five this week are: Greyson Chance (falling one place to #2), Courtney Act (sliding a spot to #4), and Diego Diaz (climbing 8 notches to reach #5).

   Six songs fell off the chart this week to make way for six new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Dancing in the Living Room" by Cameron Hawthorn, coming in at #31. The Kansas-raised country singer used the clip as a way of coming out to his fans. Cameron was inspired to write the song by the fact that he felt he couldn't dance with his boyfriend in public before coming out. He later told The Advocate that he received plenty of positive supportive messages on his social media accounts after the video was released.

   Another notable new entry is "Not Enough" by Andre Seravat, coming in at #34. The Portuguese singer sometimes records under the pseudonym Anthony Bleu, but he's apparently abandoned that name now. He still has two separate YouTube accounts for the two names, which might become merged in the future.

   Chart positions are based on points assigned from: (1) the previous week's position, (2) length of time on the chart, (3) views on YouTube and the percentage increase in views from one week to the next, (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).
