Chart notes:
   Bisexual English singer Anne-Marie has reached the #1 spot on the LGBT chart for the very first time with "F*ck, I'm Lonely", a collaboration with American DJ/producer Lauv. They climbed 3 spots this week with the catchy tune that is featured on the soundtrack to season three of the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.

   The remainder of the Top Five this week are: gay Brazilian singer Silva (holding steady at #2), bisexual American singer Bebe Rexha (moving up 2 notches to #3), gay English singer Sam Smith (rebounding 6 places to #4), and gay American singer Lil Nas X (slipping 4 spots to #5).

   Seven songs fell off the chart this week to make way for seven new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Keeping It in the Dark" by bisexual American singer Daya, coming in at #19. The song was also featured on the 13 Reasons Why, Season 3 soundtrack.

   Two artists (Armario de Saia and Iskwe) are making their very first appearances on the LGBT chart this week. An additional five artists (Daya, Pvris, Charli XCX, Tokyo Gegegay, and Lou Asril) are returning to the chart with brand-new videos.

   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 from the past 7 days, (4) percentage of increase in views from the week prior, (5) my votes, and (6) any votes I've received by Wednesday 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).
