Chart notes:
Swedish singer/songwriter Tove Lo takes over the #1 spot on the LGBT chart at midweek with "No One Dies From Love", moving up 4 places from the weekend's #5 position. This track is her first release on her own newly-launched label Pretty Swede Records. In the video, Tove portrays a lonely movie starlet who orders a female robot companion named Annie 3000 and then proceeds to fall in love with her. By the end of the clip, Annie finds herself replaced by a newer robot named Eva and rips out her own heart. However, Annie awakens in a laboratory where a woman is repairing the heart and reassures her in Spanish that "no one dies from love". Over the past three days, the video for "No One Dies From Love" has gained an additional 127,527 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 4.54% since the weekend's chart).
Four videos move up into the Top 10 at midweek. English vocalist Sam Smith climbs 6 notches to #5 with "Love Me More". American musician Lady Gaga (from Manhattan, New York) rises 11 spots to #6 with "Hold My Hand". Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen (from Mission, British Columbia) leaps ahead 12 places to #7 with "Western Wind". They're joined in the Top 10 by English singer/rapper Yungblud and American singer Willow Smith, who move up 11 positions to #9 with "Memories".
Eleven songs fall off the chart to make way for eleven new songs. The highest debut at midweek was "Tally Ho" by American musician Myylo, entering the chart at #33. The openly gay singer (who's from Nashville, Tennessee) has experimented with a pop/country hybrid sound on his latest single, and he wears a pink cowboy outfit in the clip. A recent review of the track from The Musical Hype praised Myylo as "adventurous and unafraid to exhibit innovative spirit. Furthermore, firmly planted in the LGBTQ community, he knows who he is and who his fan base is, and continues to make colorful compelling music." Over the past half-week, the video for "Tally Ho" has gained an additional 109 YouTube views (which is a huge increase of 10.38% over the previous chart period!).
