New Releases Set to Ruin Your Sleep (In The Best Way)

Five sizzling new singles are poised to crash the LGBTQ Music Chart next week, and they’re not asking politely. If you’ve been hoarding votes like a miser with coins, now’s the time to spend them — your fave could rocket from barroom banger to chart-topper with one decisive click. Voting opens every Monday at the LGBTQ Music Chart site; make it part of your Monday ritual and give that track the shove it needs.

The Radio Scoop: Tim Graham’s Weekly Revelation

If you missed the live reveal on the LGBTQ Music Chart with Tim Graham, don’t panic — the show is still the place for exclusive spins, hot takes and the kind of commentary that can make a sleeper track blow up overnight. It’s the queer music fix your weekend deserves: tune in, turn it up and bask in the chaos.

Artists — This One’s for You: Submission Rules (Yes, They Matter)

Want your song played next Saturday? Submit. Follow the rules. Seriously. Too many promising tracks get bounced for tiny missteps — the number one offence is not having an active BlueSky account. If you’re serious about being heard, get your socials in order and follow the submission checklist to the letter. Artists who skip it get left at the back of the queue while the rule-followers dance past them.

Featured Acts: Who’s Serving This Week

Catch these tunes on next week’s radio show — don’t miss them.

KEiiNO — «Mama Radio»

«Chromium Heart» isn’t just an album—it’s our love letter to the fans who’ve been with us through it all. We didn’t make it for the algorithms or the critics. We made it for us—the way we wanted, inspired by everything that’s ever lit our creative fire. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s got heart. As Rotan told Blikk magazine, this one’s for the people who truly get us. This tune are part of the «Chromium Heart» album. Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music ChartLucky pick by the LGBTQ Music Chart!

Garek — «Spinster»

Wisconsin-born Garek swapped small-town life for the Big Apple in 2010 to chase pop stardom. After cutting demos for Disney and Nickelodeon while interning at a music production house, the globe-trotting rock‑pop star has just dropped a brand‑new single — and it’s already turning heads. Lucky pick by the LGBTQ Music Chart!

Cazzi Opeia — «Love, Peace & understanding»

Swedish pop princess Cazzi Opeia has dropped a festive belter — «Love, Peace & understanding» — with all proceeds heading to UNICEF Sweden, and it’s already being hailed as the seasonal anthem we didn’t know we needed; equal parts sugar‑sweet chorus and heartfelt plea, the track wraps hope in glittering synths and a singalong hook, reminding listeners that this Christmas every play really does make a difference. Lucky pick by the LGBTQ Music Chart!

Billy Mick — «Rockstar»

Orlando’s own showman Billy Mick is proving unstoppable — the gay singer‑songwriter has swapped the mic for the director’s chair with his sold‑out one‑man spectacular Just B. LIVE!, while his Billy Mick and Friends Variety Show is packing out venues and now expanding to Tampa; his feel‑good Super Gay events champion diversity, love and pride, and with two albums under his belt — Just B. and Leveling Up — he’s just dropped the self‑love anthem and title track from his third LP ROCKSTAR, signalling he’s only just getting started.

Paul Hetherington — «Cruel (7th Heaven Radio Edit)»

Aussie pop‑dance dynamo Paul Hetherington is back on the scene after his club smash «Everything» — which stormed to No.4 on the Music Week UK Commercial Club Charts with Luv Foundation UK — this time serving up a sleek, reimagined cover of New Zealand hitmaker Dane Rumble’s «Cruel», handed to him by hitmakers 7th Heaven (the remix wizards behind Kylie Minogue and Katy Perry); the result is a glossy, floor‑ready reinvention that straps the original’s drama to a modern beat and primes it for a whole new generation of late‑night playlists.
