Chart notes:
There's no change at the very top of the LGBT chart this weekend, as Swedish musician Darin manages to hang onto the #1 spot for a second consecutive week with "Superstar". The track is currently at #25 on the official radio airplay chart in Sweden, and at #6 on The iTunes Digital/Streaming Chart in Sweden. Altogether, the song has appeared on the official charts of 14 different countries, reaching as high as #4 (in Italy). Over the past four days, the video for "Superstar" has gained an additional 7,451 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 7.63% since the midweek's chart).
Five videos move up into the Top 10 this weekend, including a return from a former #1 hit: Italian quartet Måneskin rebound back up 3 places to #8 with "Supermodel". American singer Trey Pearson (from Columbus, Ohio) leaps ahead 11 positions to #5 with "Piedmont Park". Italian singer/songwriter Blanco climbs 6 notches to #7 with "Nostalgia". Irish/American musician Matt Taylor rises 9 spots to #9 with "End Like This". They're joined in the Top 10 by Brazilian drag superstar Gloria Groove, who's moving up 7 more places to #10 with "Jogo Perigoso".
Fourteen songs fall off the chart to make way for fourteen new songs. The highest debut this weekend was "Break Me!" by American alt-rock singers Maggie Lindemann and Siiickbrain, entering the chart at #31. According to Maggie, the lyrics are about being intoxicated -- whether it's from alcohol, from drugs, or simply from being in love. "It's about all the feelings it gives you, that rush of fear and adrenaline, but also the calmness and peace," she shared. "The video is meant to convey the juxtaposition of the two -- one moment you're euphoric and the next you feel like you're broken, suffocating, and your heart is decaying." Over the past half-week, the video for "Break Me!" has gained an additional 78,240 YouTube views (which is an increase of 9.26% over the previous chart period).
