Chart notes:
American country singers Jenna DeVries and Harper Grae (both from Nashville, Tennessee) earn their first #1 on the LGBT chart at midweek with "Drunk Girls", moving up 2 more places from the weekend's #3 position. Jenna and Harper both started their careers on television talent competitions: Jenna was a contestant on both America's Got Talent and American Idol, while Harper was a contestant on The Glee Project. A few years later, they met and discovered they had something else in common as well: they were both gay. "Being LGBTQ artists in the country space in Nashville is who we are," Harper told People Magazine. Over the past three days, the video for "Drunk Girls" has gained an additional 22 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 1.96% since the weekend's chart). It was also the #2 video in voting here at Tad's LGBT Music Chart, coming in just behind Ray Isaac's "First Dance (Wedding Song)" which lands at #3.
Two videos move up into the Top 10 at midweek, including a return from a former #1 hit: Spanish musician David Rees rebounds back up 5 places to #9 with "Comida Rápida". He's joined in the Top 10 by eight-member South Korean boy-band Ateez, who climb 4 more notches to #8 with "Paradigm".
Fourteen songs fall off the chart to make way for fourteen new songs. The midweek chart features 14 debuts by LGBTQ artists from England, Canada, the U.S.A., Norway, Israel, Chile, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Uruguay, Australia, and South Africa:
