Chart notes:

   Dutch singer/songwriter Duncan Laurence maintains his hold on the top of the LGBT chart at midweek, as "Electric Life" spends another week at #1. Over the past three days, the video for "Electric Life" has gained an additional 19,151 views on YouTube (which is a massive increase of 15.29% since the weekend's chart!).

   Two videos move up into the Top 10 at midweek. Icelandic industrial/punk rock trio Hatari climbs 3 more notches to #9 with "Dansið Eða Deyið". American singer Andie Case (originally from Eugene, Oregon) leaps ahead 11 spots to #10 with her cover of Roxette's 1987 hit "It Must Have Been Love".

   Eight songs fall off the chart to make way for eight new songs. The highest debut at midweek was "A Lot Of Boys" by Israeli singer Karina Kay and Israeli DJ/producer Sagi Kariv, entering the chart at #36. Over the past half-week, the video for "A Lot Of Boys" has gained an additional 7,184 YouTube views (which is an astounding increase of 73.43% over the previous chart period!).
