Chart notes:
British singer/songwriter Becky Hill (from Worcestershire, England) ascends to the #1 spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart this weekend with "Swim", moving up one more place from the midweek's #2 position. The track is a collaboration with American DJ/producer Marc Kinchen (from Detroit, Michigan) who is known by his initials MK. Becky started her career as a contestant on The Voice UK in 2012, and she later became the first contestant from The Voice UK to have a #1 hit on The UK Singles Chart. Becky came out as queer on her Twitter account in April 2021. Over the past four days, the video for "Swim" has gained an additional 38,735 views on YouTube (which is a huge increase of 5.88% since the midweek's chart!).
Four videos move up into the Top Ten this weekend. American singer Jordan Suaste (from Salt Lake City, Utah) climbs 5 spots to #7 with "Heaven". American/Thai/Filipino boy-band NSB (also known as North Star Boys) rises 5 notches to #8 with "Stardom". American YouTuber/singer James Charles (from Bethlehem, New York) moves up 5 places to #9 with "Used to Love Me". They're joined in the Top Ten by American rapper/singer Ocean Kelly (from Atlanta, Georgia), who's leaping ahead 10 positions to #10 with "Down the Cunty Road".
Seven songs fall off the chart to make way for seven new songs. The weekend chart features 10 debuts by LGBTQ artists from England, Ukraine, Germany, the U.S.A., and Peru:
- Lambrini Girls (from England, U.K.)
- Smashby (from England, U.K.)
- Flamyngus (from Germany)
