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.

Daniel Johnson — «Nie mehr ohne Dich»

Daniel Johnson’s new single «Nie mehr ohne Dich» («Never Without You Again») comes with a warm, heartfelt shimmer that fans of Kerstin Ott will instantly recognise. It’s a proper radio‑ready anthem for anyone already feeling those tell‑tale signs of love — butterflies doing somersaults, a heart thumping like mad, and that irresistible pull towards someone special. With this track, Johnson serves up pure emotion without tipping into schmaltz, delivering a love song that feels honest, immediate and impossible to shake. Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music Chart.

Ramón — «Theo»

Ramón drops his new single «Theo» today, offering the first glimpse of his forthcoming third album «Ramuelo», due out on 5 May 2026. Speaking to Scandinavia’s oldest LGBTQ magazine, Blikk.no, he describes the track as a reckoning with the sort of person who «keeps you on the fence» — the one who doles out just enough affection to keep you hooked, but never enough to feel secure. It’s a sharp, emotionally charged introduction to an album already shaping up to be one of his most revealing. Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music Chart. Do you want LGBTQ Music Chart to pick yours ?

Patrik Jean — «Dusk till dawn»

Patrik Jean, one of Sweden’s most acclaimed openly gay pop artists, makes his eagerly awaited return to Melodifestivalen 2026 with the shimmering new single “Dusk Till Dawn”. Although he narrowly missed out on a place in the final, the track has already sparked major buzz among fans and LGBTQ+ music followers. With Melodifestivalen behind him, Patrik is now setting his sights on climbing the LGBTQ Music Chart, where his soulful vocals and polished pop production have every chance of making a serious impact.

Ray Noir — «Breath»

Norwegian‑born, London‑based artist Ray Noir returns with «Breath», a dark, electronic alt‑metal anthem tackling imposter syndrome, self‑doubt and the relentless fear of never being enough. Blending modern metal aggression with the pulse and tension of club‑driven electronics, the track captures the exhausting reality of living with an overactive mind and the inner voices that refuse to switch off. Speaking openly about his journey, Ray explains that growing up gay in the alt scene left him feeling like there was no space for someone like him — a lack of queer representation that shaped both his confidence and his artistry. «Breath»isn’t about escaping the darkness; it’s about enduring it, surviving it and taking life one breath at a time.

Agustín Malandra — «Please don’t hesitate»

Agustín Malandra is an Argentinian singer and songwriter who has been serving infectious pop bops since 2018. Blending heartfelt storytelling with polished, radio‑ready production, he’s quickly become a rising name in Latin pop and an emerging favourite among LGBTQ+ music fans. With each new release, Malandra continues to build a distinctive sound that’s both emotionally honest and irresistibly catchy, securing his place as one of Argentina’s most exciting modern pop voices.
