Chart notes:
German DJ/producer Felix Jaehn sits atop the LGBT chart this week, as "No Therapy" (a collaboration with Swedish singer/songwriter Nea and British vocalist Bryn Christopher) moves up another three notches to the #1 spot. It's the third #1 video this year for Felix, who also reached #1 on this chart with "Close Your Eyes" back in February and with "Sicko" in June. The video for "No Therapy" gained an additional 265,078 views on YouTube over the past seven days, which is an increase of 18.79% over the previous week.
Eleven songs fell off the chart this week to make way for eleven new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Giovanna Hardcore" by Italian rapper/singer Myss Keta, entering the chart at #34. Myss Keta has always worn some type of veil or mask in her videos, even before the coronavirus pandemic. A recent article in The New York Times referred to her as "the mysterious LGBT queen of the Milan night". The video for "Giovanna Hardcore" gained an additional 95,732 YouTube views over the past week, which is an increase of 15.38% over the week prior.
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 videos, please feel free to leave a comment on this blog or send me a private message (see the contact info above).
Please note: Since I am posting this weekend's chart a couple of days late, the voting will be extended by a couple of days. If you'd like to vote for next week's chart, please do so by Friday at noon (California time).
