Chart notes:
   British pop artist Charli XCX (from Essex, England) and American singer Billie Eilish (from Los Angeles, California) take over the top spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart this weekend, moving up 4 places from the midweek's #5 position with "Guess". Charli XCX is widely considered a queer icon within the LGBTQ community. She has been a strong outspoken advocate for gay rights in the U.K. and the U.S., as well as in Russia. Charli has embraced her gay fans from the very beginning of her career, stating "Generally, the queer community just has better taste." She has frequently collaborated with queer artists such as Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, Sam Smith, Sophie, Jodie Harsh, Tommy Genesis, Dorian Electra, Pabllo Vittar, Big Freedia, and Brooke Candy. Charli has repeatedly featured drag queens prominently in her music videos and onstage while touring. In addition to performing at gay clubs and Pride festivals, Charli teamed up with her long-time friend Troye Sivan to start the Go West Fest in California in 2019 which featured an entirely LGBTQ lineup and donated part of the proceeds to GLAAD. Her collaborator on this track, Billie Eilish, came out as queer in 2023 after an interview in Variety where Billie said she was attracted to women. Over the past half-week, the video for "Guess" has gained an additional 1,217,688 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 2.20% since the midweek's chart).

   Four videos move up into the Top Ten this weekend. American singer/actress Addison Rae (from Lafayette, Louisiana) rises 7 notches to #5 with "Aquamarine". Mexican band Grupo Firme and American singer/actress Demi Lovato (from Dallas, Texas) climb 7 spots to #6 with "Chula". American rock quartet Neon Trees (from Provo, Utah) gains 3 positions to land at #8 with "Bad Dreams". They're joined in the Top 10 by American country singer Chris Housman (from Hanston, Kansas), who's moving up 6 places to #10 with "Laid Back".
 
   Fifteen videos fall off the chart this weekend to make way for fifteen new videos. The weekend chart features 15 debuts by LGBTQ artists from England, Chile, the U.S.A., India, Wales, Scotland, and Canada:
