Chart notes:
American singer Todrick Hall reaches the #1 spot on the LGBT chart at midweek with "Queen", moving up 2 more places from the weekend's #3 position. Todrick calls the track "a survivor anthem". He explains, "It's a statement for anyone embracing their individuality and finding power in living their truth. No matter who you are or where you come from, I believe there is an inner 'Queen' in all of us. It's time to let it out." The clip was filmed in January in Kyiv, shortly before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Todrick encourages his fans to donate to Insight, a local LGBTQ+ organization that provides support to queer and transgender Ukrainians. Over the past three days, the video for "Queen" has gained an additional 38,542 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 3.01% since the weekend's chart).
Four videos move up into the Top 10 at midweek. Brazilian vocalist Piettro leaps ahead 10 notches to #3 with "Quem Mama É Você". Australian artist Sheldon Riley climbs 9 spots to #7 with "Not the Same". Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin rises 6 places to #8 with "A Veces Bien Y A Veces Mal". They're joined in the Top 10 by Italian/American musician Nieri, who's moving up 3 more positions to #9 with "Face".
Thirteen songs fall off the chart to make way for twelve new songs and one re-entry. The highest debut at midweek was "Bendecido" by Swiss/Spanish rapper/singer Laskaar, entering the chart at #35. Although his parents are from the Andalusian region of Spain, he was born and raised in Switzerland and he now resides in Madrid. Laskaar speaks three languages fluently: Spanish, German, and English. Over the past half-week, the video for "Bendecido" has gained an additional 181 YouTube views (which is a huge increase of 17.78% over the previous chart period!).
