Chart notes:

   Israeli singers Harel Skaat and Anya Buxtein have taken over the top spot on the LGBT chart this weekend with "Kol Hayom", moving up three places to the #1 position. In English, the track's title translates to "All Day". Harel Skaat appeared as a contestant on the second season of Kochav Nolad (the Israeli version of American Idol), finishing the competition in second place. Harel won over international fans when he was chosen to represent Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010. He is openly gay, and his politician husband (Idan Roll) is one of six LGBT members of the Israeli Knesset. The video for "Kol Hayom" gained an additional 58,585 YouTube views over the past seven days, which is an increase of 8.85% over the previous week.

   Six songs fell off the chart this week to make way for six new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Heather" by bisexual American singer Conan Gray, entering the chart at #28. The song's lyrics tell the tale of an unrequited love and the jealousy that Conan feels when his crush prefers a girl named Heather rather than him. The video for "Heather" gained an additional 1,679,164 views on YouTube over the past week, which is an increase of 8.19% 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).
