 Chart notes:
   One week at #1 just wasn't enough for gay English singer Sam Smith. "How Do You Sleep?" was at #1 four weeks ago, and has been steadily climbing back up the LGBT chart. The song moves up three more spots this week to reclaim the #1 title.

   Fifteen songs fell off the chart this week to make way for fifteen new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Panini" by gay American singer Lil Nas X, coming in at #20.

   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 seven 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).
