Chart notes:
Spanish musician Álvaro Lafuente Calvo (better known as Guitarricadelafuente) takes over the #1 spot on Tad's LGBT Music Chart at midweek with "Full Time Papi", moving up one place from the weekend's #2 position. Guitarricadelafuente started his musical career by posting videos on social media, and then later auditioning for two talent competitions on Spanish television (La Voz and Operación Triunfo). He recently told Queerty that his video for "Full Time Papi" marks a turning point in his career where he feels free to talk more openly about his life as a gay man. The video for "Full Time Papi" has amassed a total of more than 438,000 views on YouTube.
Four videos move up into the Top Ten at midweek. American country singer Lily Rose (from Atlanta, Georgia) climbs 5 notches to #6 with "I Know What I Want". American singer Fancy Hagood (from Bentonville, Arkansas) rises 5 notches to #7 with "Isn't That Life?". Belgian/American musician Semler (who was raised in Belgium and is now living in Los Angeles, California) jumps 7 places to #8 with "Obituaries". They're joined in the Top Ten by Canadian singer/songwriter Ria Mae (from Halifax, Nova Scotia), who's moving up 4 positions to #9 with "Her Magic".
Nine songs fall off the chart to make way for nine new songs. The midweek chart features 9 debuts by LGBTQ artists from England, the U.S.A., Argentina, Spain, Austria, Chile, Serbia, and France:
- Nathy Peluso (originally from Argentina & currently residing in Spain)
