Chart notes:
German DJ/producer Felix Jaehn rises to the top of the LGBT chart, as "Sicko" climbs two spots to reach #1 this week. The track is a collaboration with Brooklyn-based rapper Gashi and Canadian singer Faangs. Although he had to stop touring due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Felix has recently performed sets in Stuttgart and Hamburg by setting up his turntables at venues like airport parking lots. Fans can enjoy the music, yet still keep their distance from others, by remaining inside their vehicles during the concert.
Ten songs fell off the chart this week to make way for ten new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Rain On Me" by American musicians Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, entering the chart at #28. The song has already reached #1 in multiple countries, and it's been certified gold in Canada (with sales of more than 40,000 units) and certified silver in the United Kingdom (with sales of more than 200,000 units). It's one of two videos by Lady Gaga here on the LGBT chart, with her former #1 hit "Stupid Love" falling two spots to #8 this week.
Chart positions are based on points assigned from (1) the previous week's chart position, (2) length of time on the chart, (3) views on YouTube from the past seven days, (4) percentage of increase in YouTube 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).
