Chart notes:
There's no change at the very top of Tad's LGBT Music Chart at midweek, as Charli XCX and Billie Eilish hold their grip on the #1 spot with "Guess". According to SoundCharts, the track has appeared on the official charts of an astounding 156 countries and has gone all the way to #1 in 87 of them (including a #1 hit in the home countries of the two singers, the United Kingdom and the United States). The song also reached #1 on The SoundCharts Global Chart as well.
Five videos move into the Top Ten at midweek. American musician Katie Gavin (from Winnetka, Illinois) climbs 10 notches to #5 with "Aftertaste". Canadian DJ/producer Kaytranada (from Saint-Hubert, Quebec) rises 9 spots to #7 with "Witchy". Belgian musician Oscar And The Wolf moves up 6 places to #8 with "Oh Boy". South Korean boy-band Ateez jumps 10 positions to #9 with "Birthday". They're joined in the Top Ten by Venezuelan/Spanish singer La Cruz, who's leaping ahead 11 notches to #10 with "Fancy".
