Chart notes:

   British singer/songwriter Uzo Emenike, better known as MNEK, rises to the #1 spot on the LGBT chart this weekend with "Head and Heart", a collaboration with English DJ/producer Joel Corry. The track became the first official #1 song for each of them on the UK charts back in July, even though they'd both had success within the UK Top Ten multiple times. According to the song's Wikipedia page, it has also hit #1 in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Scotland.

   Eight songs fell off the chart this week to make way for eight new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Kol Hayom" by Israeli singer/songwriter Harel Skaat, entering the chart at #39. The track, whose title translates to "All Day" in English, is a collaboration with Israeli singer/actress Anya Buxtein. Harel came out as gay in 2010. His politician husband, Idan Roll, is one of just six LGBT members of the Israeli Knesset.

   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 7 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 videos, please feel free to leave a comment on this blog or send me a private message (see the contact info above).
