Chart notes:
   Kevin McHale holds onto the #1 spot on the LGBT chart with "Younger" for a second consecutive week. Over the past seven days, the video has had a whopping 40.98% increase in YouTube views. Many of his fans are speculating that Kevin might be the Unicorn on the British version of The Masked Singer, currently airing on ITV. If you haven't seen the show yet, you can watch a clip of the Unicorn performing here at this link. Only time will tell if Kevin is really inside that costume.

   Three songs fell off the chart this week to make way for three new songs. German DJ/producer Felix Jaehn had the highest debut of the week with "Close Your Eyes", which enters the chart at #24. The track is a collaboration with German duo Vize and Swedish singer Miss Li. Felix came out publicly as bisexual in an interview with German newspaper Die Zeit in February 2018.

   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).
