Chart notes:
   British singer Yungblud (from South Yorkshire, England) reaches the top of the LGBT chart this weekend with "Tissues", moving up one more place from the midweek's #2 position. Yungblud came out publicly in 2019 as sexually fluid, but a year later he described himself as pansexual and polyamorous. Over the past four days, the video for "Tissues" has gained an additional 236,409 views on YouTube (which is a huge increase of 8.12% since the midweek's chart!).

   Four videos move up into the Top 10 this weekend, including a return from a former #1 hit: Dutch singer/songwriter Duncan Laurence rebounds back up 5 places to #7 with "Electric Life". Brazilian singer Piettro rises 8 notches to #3 with "Rei De Cocada". Lithuanian musician Gabrielius Vagelis leaps ahead 10 more spots to #5 with "Man Moji". They're joined in the Top 10 by English trio Autoheart, who move up 6 positions to #8 with "Time Machine".

   Sixteen songs fall off the chart to make way for sixteen new songs. The highest debut this weekend was "Make You Love Me" by Chinese/American artist Alice Longyu Gao, entering the chart at #27. Alice was born and raised in Bengbu, China. She relocated to the U.S.A. at the age of 17 to attend Boston University. Alice identifies as pansexual and queer. Over the past half-week, the video for "Make You Love Me" has gained an additional 118,223 YouTube views (which is a massive increase of 30.72% over the previous chart period!).
