They're joined by artists from 5 different countries -- Georgel (from Mexico), rIVerse (from Canada), Bashar Murad (from Palestine), Silva (from Brazil), and Dani Ride (from Chile). Also featured on these tracks are one artist each from Colombia (Mabiland, who appears with Georgel) and Australia (Iggy Azalea, who appears with Brooke Candy).
Each week, Tad's LGBT music chart brings you the Top 50 videos by LGBT artists from around the world. 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 12 noon (California time). 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 below). Suggestions for new videos are also welcomed, but they must be from an LGBT artist and they must be available on YouTube.
