Chart notes:
Puerto Rican singer/songwriter Kany García reaches the #1 spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart at midweek with "Supe Que Eras Para Mí", moving up one more place from the weekend's #2 position. The song's title translates into English as "I Knew You Were for Me". Kany started her career as a contestant on the television talent competition Objetivo Fama in 2004. After signing a contract with Sony BMG Records in 2006, she went on to release her debut studio album (titled Culaquier Día) which spawned four Top 40 singles on The Billboard Hot Latin Tracks Chart and received four nominations at The 2008 Latin Grammy Awards. In 2016 Kany came out publicly as a member of the LGBTQ community by announcing to her fans that she was in a same-sex relationship. In the video clip for her latest single, Kany portrays a waitress in a diner where a young gay man is searching for his love. Over the past three days, the video for "Supe Que Eras Para Mí" has gained an additional 176,002 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 2.80% since the weekend's chart).
Only one video moves up into the Top 10 at midweek. Spanish pop trio Miss Caffeina leaps ahead 13 notches to #8 with "Para Toda La Vida".
Twelve songs fall off the chart to make way for twelve new songs. The midweek chart features 12 debuts by LGBTQ artists from Mexico, Brazil, the U.S.A., Norway, South Korea, Austria, England, and Canada:
