Chart notes:
British singer/songwriter Henry Moodie (from Guildford, England) recaptures the #1 spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart at midweek with "Drunk Text", rebounding back up one place from the weekend's #2 position. In the video, Henry is riding a city bus while various passengers get on and off. About two minutes into the clip, a gay couple boards the bus and one of them remarks that Henry is cute. Over the past three days, the video for "Drunk Text" has gained an additional 8,700,352 views on YouTube (which is a massive increase of 21.82% since the weekend's chart!).
Two videos move up into the Top 10 at midweek. Brazilian artist Davi Cíntori leaps ahead 11 spots to #9 with "Derreter". He's joined in the Top 10 by American activist/singer Chrissy Chlapecka (from Chicago, Illinois), who's rising 9 notches to #10 with "I'm So Hot".
Eleven songs fall off the chart to make way for eleven new songs. The midweek chart features 11 debuts by LGBTQ artists from England, the U.S.A., Mexico, Italy, France, Canada, China, Brazil, and Japan:
