Chart notes:
Spanish singer/songwriter Blas Cantó reached the #1 spot on the LGBT chart this weekend with "El Bueno Acaba Mal", moving up three more places from the midweek's #4 position. The track's title translates to "The Good Ends Badly" in English. Blas began his career when he was just 13 years old, reaching the final round of Spain's national competition to represent his country at The Junior Eurovision Song Contest. He then continued his rise to fame as a member of the boy-band Auryn before launching his solo career in 2017. Over the past four days, the video for "El Bueno Acaba Mal" has gained an additional 16,761 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 8.36% since the midweek's chart).
Two videos move up into the Top 10 this weekend. American quartet The Aces (from Provo, Utah) leaps ahead 10 notches to #5 with "Girls Make Me Wanna Die". They're joined in the Top 10 by Chilean singer/songwriter Javiera Mena, who's climbing 3 more spots to #8 with "La Isla De Lesbos".
Twelve songs fall off the chart to make way for twelve new songs. The highest debut this weekend was "Maybe It's My Fault" by American singer Willow Smith, entering the chart at #35. In the lyrics, Willow wonders if she's to blame for the end of a relationship. "It's all too often in tender emotional states we try to blame our hurts on other people," Willow wrote in a statement. She explained further that the track "explores what it's like to hold ourselves equally accountable for the emotional pain we feel." The clip shows Willow hurling objects against walls and grabbing her head as she attempts to process her reaction to knowing that she's hurt a woman she loved. Over the past half-week, the video for "Maybe It's My Fault" has gained an additional 20,116 YouTube views (which is an increase of 2.00% over the previous chart period).
