Midweek Chart: 23 February 2022

     Twice a week, Tad's LGBT Music Chart brings you the Top 50 music videos by LGBTQ artists from around the world.    

Midweek Chart for 23rd February, 2022



Chart notes:
   Puerto Rican singer/songwriter Kany García holds onto the #1 spot on the LGBT chart at midweek with "Agüita E Coco". The song's lyrics tell the story of someone who, even without looking for a formal relationship, ends up finding it through the kiss of a special person. The English translation of the chorus is: "You sneaked into my dreams, without asking my permission. You changed my plans. You fell in love with me without warning. I didn't want anything serious. I didn't want commitment, but you kissed me and cast a spell on my heart." Over the past three days, the video for "Agüita E Coco" has gained an additional 126,598 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 3.96% since the midweek's chart).

   Three videos move up into the Top 10 at midweek. Spanish vocalist Vesta Lugg jumps ahead 11 places to #4 with "No Somos Buenxs". American DJ/producer Griz (from Southfield, Michigan) climbs 6 notches to #6 with "Space Camp". They're joined in the Top 10 by American artist Hollis (from Seattle, Washington), who's leaping ahead 15 spots to #9 with "Tripwires".

   Ten songs fall off the chart to make way for ten new songs. The highest debut at midweek was "If You Ever Change Your Mind" by English singer/songwriter Calum Scott, entering the chart at #38. The track is the third single (after "Biblical" and "Rise") to be released off Calum's upcoming new album. Over the past half-week, the video for "If You Ever Change Your Mind" has gained an additional 213,320 YouTube views (which is a huge increase of 10.97% over the previous chart period!).

   Further down the chart, we have 9 more debuts by LGBTQ artists from England, the U.S.A., Chile, France, Ukraine, South Africa, Poland, and Scotland:
  • Placebo (from England, UK)
  • Bryce Bowyn (from the District of Columbia, USA)

  • Max Barskih (from Ukraine)
