Chart notes:
After waiting patiently at #2 for the past three weeks, Thai actor/singer PP Krit finally ascends to #1 on Tad's LGBT Music Chart with "Friend to Friend". According to SoundCharts, the track has appeared on the official charts of nine different countries and has reached #1 on the radio airplay chart in Thailand as well as reaching the Top Ten in three other countries (#2 in Sweden, #2 in Vietnam, and #10 in Hong Kong). Over the past half-week, the video for "Friend to Friend" has gained an additional 63,301 views on YouTube (which is an increase of 1.26% since the weekend's chart).
Three videos move up into the Top Ten at midweek, all of which happen to be from European acts. Spanish rap duo Tribade climbs 6 spots to #6 with "Sagrada Familia". Swedish artist Cobrah rises 5 notches to #8 with "Record Deal". They're joined in the Top Ten by Swedish singer/songwriter Loreen, who's moving up 2 more places to #9 with "Gravity".
Nine songs fall off the chart to make way for nine new songs. The midweek chart features 9 debuts by LGBTQ artists from Canada, the U.S.A., England, Poland, Brazil, and Switzerland:
