Chart notes:
British singer/songwriter Anne-Marie (from Essex, England) rises to the top of the LGBT chart at midweek with "Psycho", moving up one more place from the weekend's #2 position. Anne-Marie revealed in 2018 that she is attracted to both men and women, but she avoids using the word "bisexual" because she dislikes labels. The lyrics to "Psycho" are aimed at a deceptive partner, whom she discovers is seeing multiple other people behind her back. Explaining the real-life inspiration for the song, Anne-Marie describes how it happened to her. When she confronted her partner about his infidelity, he tried to "gaslight" her into self-doubt. "This one's for everyone out there who's been in the same situation," she said of the song. Over the past three days, the video for "Psycho" has gained an additional 1,555,716 views on YouTube (which is a massive increase of 10.39% since the weekend's chart!).
Three videos move up into the Top 10 at midweek, including a return from a former #1 hit: Turkish musician Mabel Matiz rebounds back up 5 places to #6 with "Fan". Finnish singer/songwriter Alma rises 4 notches to #8 with "Summer Really Hurt Us". They're joined in the Top 10 by American vocalist Corvyx (from Staten Island, New York), who's moving up 4 more spots to #9 with "Eat Me".
Eleven songs fall off the chart to make way for eleven new songs. The highest debut at midweek was "Star Walkin'" by American artist Lil Nas X, entering the chart at #34. Lil Nas X (who's originally from Lithia Springs, Georgia) came out publicly as gay in June 2019. "Star Walkin'" was released as the anthem to the multiplayer online game League Of Legends in September. According to the song's Wikipedia page, the track has appeared on the official charts of 29 different countries and has reached the Top 10 in six of them (Romania, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Greece, and the U.S.A.). Over the past half-week, the video for "Star Walkin'" has gained an additional 523,050 YouTube views (which is a massive increase of 10.86% over the previous chart period!).
