Chart notes:
English vocalist Sam Smith captures the top spot on the LGBT chart this week with "Diamonds", moving up one more position to #1. Sam came out as gay in 2014, and then came out as genderqueer/non-binary in 2017. Sam prefers the pronouns they/them. The video for "Diamonds" gained an additional 2,476,636 YouTube views over the past seven days, which is an increase of 9.49% over the previous week.
Ten songs fell off the chart this week to make way for ten new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Don't Say Goodbye" by Swedish singer/songwriter Tove Lo, entering the chart at #24. The track is a collaboration with Brazilian DJ/producer Alok and Turkish DJ Ilkay Sencan. Tove Lo (whose real name is Ebba Nilsson) came out as bisexual in October 2016. She told Billboard magazine that, "I'm a bisexual woman, who grew up in liberal Sweden with very liberal parents. I was lucky. I always felt free to explore my sexuality as little or as much as I wanted." Over the past week, the video for "Don't Say Goodbye" has earned an additional 433,870 views on YouTube, which is an increase of 16.87% 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 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 at noon (California time).
