Chart notes:
American musician Katie Gavin (from Winnetka, Illinois) scores her first #1 as a solo artist on Tad's LGBT Music Chart this weekend, moving up 4 more places from the midweek's #5 position with "Aftertaste". Katie has reached #1 on this chart in the past, as the lead singer for Muna. She released her first solo album in October. Katie identifies as a lesbian, and she was in a relationship with Naomi McPherson (one of her bandmates in Muna) for three years. According to SoundCharts, the track has reached the Top 10 in eight different countries (including a #1 in the U.S.A. and #2 in Denmark, Finland, and New Zealand). Over the past half-week, the video for "Aftertaste" has gained an additional 34,808 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 4.39% since the midweek's chart).
Four videos move up into the Top Ten this weekend. American musician Semler (who grew up in Belgium & now resides in Los Angeles, California) rises 7 notches to #4 with "Jesus from Texas". Spanish singer Álvaro Mayo climbs 6 spots to #7 with "No Siento Nada". American singer & TikTok personality Chrissy Chlapecka (from St. Charles, Illinois) jumps 9 positions to #8 with "My Only Dream is to Be Loved". They're joined in the Top Ten by Ukrainian musician Artem Pivovarov, who's moving up 6 places to #10 with "Nich Yaka Misyachna".
