Chart notes:
Ben Hazlewood hangs onto the #1 spot on the LGBT chart with "Lay Me Down" for a second consecutive week. The video gained 27,124 views on YouTube over the past seven days, which is an impressive 12.66% increase from the week prior. The track is the first single released from Ben's first full-length studio album, which is entitled Bloodline.
A brand-new official video has been released for Vincint's "Save Myself", which moved up 11 notches to reach #9 this week. From this week onward, his chart position will be calculated based on the newer video's YouTube views.
Ten songs fell off the chart this week to make way for ten new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Someone Else" by Dutch musician Duncan Laurence, entering the chart at #33. The song is the first single off his debut EP Worlds On Fire.
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) rate of increase in YouTube views (as a percentage) 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).
