«Outed on Friday!» Week 02 2026 — The Weekend That Brings the Noise

It’s Friday, the inboxes are finally quiet and the club lights are flicking on — and «Outed on Friday!» has your official weekend soundtrack. From glittering club pop to cheeky seasonal singalongs and heart-on-sleeve balladry, this week’s roundup promises drama, hooks and plenty of reasons to hit replay.

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.

Harrison — «All the things she said»

UK riser Harrison is riding a massive wave right now, with his explosive remake of «All the things she said» blowing up after its spotlight moment in the smash-hit TV drama Heated Rivalry. While the original track came from the famously queerbaiting Russian duo t.A.T.u, Harrison’s fresh, high‑octane spin has struck a chord with a new generation. Backed by a clutch of big, festival‑sized anthems, he’s cementing his place among the electronic heavyweights who’ve shaped dance culture for the past decade — and his momentum shows no signs of slowing. Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music Chart.

Reiley — «Feeling»

Faroese pop favourite and TikTok sensation Reiley is finally breaking his silence — and fans are eating it up. After representing Denmark at Eurovision 2023 with the glossy heartbreak anthem «Breaking My Heart», he followed up with the dreamy single «Lovesongs»… and then vanished from the release radar. Nearly three years of musical quiet later, the pastel‑pop prince is officially back, ready to reboot his era and remind everyone why he became one of the Nordics’ most talked‑about new stars. Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music Chart. 

Jonathan Rippon — «First time in Blackpool»

Queer London-based singer‑songwriter JR is having a moment — again. After wowing the nation on Britain’s Got Talent 2025, where his audition racked up more than 1 million views, the multi‑talent is back in the spotlight with a brand‑new release. JR first made waves with his 2020 dance smash «Feel the Fire», co‑written and produced by Olly Shelton, and has since built a loyal following through his sharp, charismatic stand‑up sets across the UK’s comedy and cabaret circuit. Now he’s making his LGBTQ Music Chart debut with «First Time in Blackpool», a cheeky, heartfelt slice of queer pop that marks the start of an exciting new chapter. Submitted by artist/record label/management.

Ryan Woods — «Godboy»

One spin is all it takes to believe Ryan Woods dropped straight from the pop heavens into the heart of today’s music scene. He bends genres, eras and expectations with an untouchable je ne sais quoi that feels both futuristic and timeless. With a sky‑scraping vocal range and fashion moments that stop traffic, Ryan channels the swagger of a ’70s rock idol — yet he pairs it with the raw, unfiltered honesty that defines Gen Z. It’s a combination that makes him impossible to ignore and even harder to forget. Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music Chart. 

John Riot — «Boysclub»

Berlin’s own queer pop firestarter John Riot is turning heads with his signature blend of glossy pop hooks and club‑ready EDM swagger. The rising singer‑songwriter has carved out a sound that’s unapologetically bold, proudly queer and built for the dancefloor. Now he’s crashing onto the LGBTQ Music Chart with his explosive debut Boysclub, a track that cements him as one of Berlin’s most exciting new voices in pop. Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music Chart.
