LGBTQ Music Chart Week 49 2025 — a community‑curated Top 50 countdown of queer music, from tender ballads to glittering pop anthems; tune in for charts, features and playlists.

LGBTQ Music Chart – Week 49 – 2025

Your weekly dose of queer brilliance is here — louder, prouder and more electrifying than ever. This week’s chart is a community-curated celebration of LGBTQ artistry from around the world: a sonic rainbow of empowerment, love and fierce creativity that ranges from tender ballads to full-throttle pop anthems. The Top 50 Countdown is live and it’s the soundtrack your weekend needs.

Number One this week

Daividh Campbell — «Afterglow»

History made and hearts sold: Osvaldo Supino takes the top spot with the smouldering, soulful pop of «Afterglow. Supino became the first Italian artist to perform at World Pride, and his warmth, honesty and stage presence have only amplified his ascent. His sound pairs classic Italian soul with global pop sensibilities — intimate one moment, stadium-ready the next — and Afterglow is a perfect bridge between the two: emotional, stylish and utterly addictive.

This Week’s Spotlight

Vincent DiGeronimo — «Chocolate and Booze»

This Week’s Spotlight: Vincent DiGeronimo and his cheeky new cut «Chocolate and Booze» — the DIY singer‑songwriter who’s been grafting away since 2009 — has quietly stitched together a gloriously oddball career; from rough‑around‑the‑edges demos to two alt/art/folk records and then a full‑on queer indie‑pop turn with «Here, My Heart», a record cheekily inspired by Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper. Never one for the fast lane, DiGeronimo crowdfunded his 2023 album on IndieGoGo and even drew support from unexpected corners — including Grammy winner Paula Cole, with whom he’s had the honour of sharing a stage — proving that slow‑burn persistence and a knack for heartfelt hooks still cut through the noise.

Song of the Week

Ruben — «Du lyg»

Ruben’s «Du lyg» is this week’s Song of the Week, and it’s a stunner — his first time singing in Norwegian and, crucially, in the rugged dialect of northern Norway, which gives the track an immediate, lived‑in authenticity that tugs at the heart. The choice of dialect deepens the intimacy of the storytelling, drawing listeners straight into Ruben’s world and making every line feel painfully personal. Even more striking: the song was written the day after a brutal breakup, an outpouring of emotion so fresh it crackles through the melody and lyrics, leaving a raw, vulnerable wound at the centre of a beautifully crafted heartbreak anthem.

Newcomer of the Week

Daividh Campbell — «Christmas Vibe»

Daividh Campbell is this week’s Newcomer of the Week with the irresistible «Christmas Vibe» — a vocalist signed to Strange World Music at Odd Paws Records who specialises in songs that hit you where it hurts and somehow stitch you back together afterwards. His music reads like a living diary, drenched in memory, identity and quiet reinvention, with lyrics and melodies that do the heavy lifting so his voice can deliver the sting. From fragile confessions to a hard‑won resilience, Daividh turns moments of vulnerability into explosive, unforgettable pop‑soul that lingers long after the last note.
