Chart Week 08 of 2021: Week of 21st February

 Chart Week #8 of 2021: Week of 21st February



Chart notes:
   French singer Jérémy Frerot (who's originally from Belgium) holds onto the #1 spot on the LGBT chart for a second consecutive week with "Un Homme". The video gained an additional 202,885 views on YouTube over the past seven days (which is an increase of 10.78% over the previous week).

   Three American artists move up into the Top 10 this week -- Greyson Chance (originally from Texas), Reigen (from New York), and Claud (originally from Illinois). Also moving up into the Top 10 are Ukrainian singer Max Barskih, German vocalist Wincent Weiss, and English singer Sam Smith.

   Ten songs fell off the chart this week to make way for ten new songs. The highest debut of the week was "Acting Like That" by English musician Yungblud, entering the chart at #33. The track is a collaboration with American singer Machine Gun Kelly (originally from Texas). According to Wikipedia, the song has already reached the Top 20 in three different countries (Belgium, New Zealand, and the United States). Over the past week, the video for "Acting Like That" has gained an additional 386,498 YouTube views (which is an increase of 9.90% over the week prior).

   Further down the chart, we also have debuts from 4 more LGBT American acts -- Lisa Remar (originally from New York), Brooke Candy (from California), The Aces (from Utah), and Chester Lockhart (from California). 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.
