Chart notes:
American rock band Pvris climbs three spots this week to secure a #1 hit on the LGBT chart with "Hallucinations". Originally an indie band from Massachusetts, they've recently signed with a major label (Warner Records) and have relocated to California. The single is one of five tracks on their Hallucinations EP, and they also plan to release a full-length studio album in 2020. Lead singer Lynn Gunn came out as a lesbian while she was still a teenager.
Five songs fell off the chart this week to make way for five new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Dive in the Water" by Canadian-American singer Blake McGrath, coming in at #39. Blake was recently nominated for a World Choreography Award for the "Love Myself" video that he released in 2018. Blake came out publicly as bisexual in 2009.
