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.

We need to clarify this : Any issues related to the submission or the radio show must be addressed to us via DM on BlueSky (No mention). This applies to any questions about LGBTQ Music Chart radio show as well:  Please refrain from contacting the radio station or the host! 

Featured Acts: Who’s Serving This Week

Big change this week: the Outed on Friday! playlist now shows this week’s artist AND last week’s contender. And from Monday, you can vote on both — doubling the drama and giving every track a fighting chance.

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

Cameron Hawthorn — «I hope you can dance»

Cameron Hawthorn is the Kansas‑born singer‑songwriter blending country, Americana and pop with heartfelt LGBTQ+ storytelling. His viral videos made waves for their authenticity, especially «Dancing in the Living Room», his 2019 coming‑out moment celebrating real love. With warm vocals and honest writing, including the tender «I Hope You Dance», he’s become a powerful voice for vulnerability and truth in modern country. Want real visibility?Submit your track. Don’t rely on a 1% miracle.

Nils Bech — «Koko»

Nils Bech is the queer Norwegian music genius whose songs quietly detonate in your chest, pulling your heart into their emotional gravity. International audiences discovered him through Skam season 3, where his haunting performance of «O helga natt» became iconic. His art is delicate, devastating and unforgettable — the kind that lingers long after the last note. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Hector Lopez — «Gracias Madre»

Hector Lopez is a Stockholm‑based singer, dancer, actor and educator whose career spans musical theatre, live entertainment, screen work and years of teaching. Trained at Musikalakademien, Balettakademien and Stockholm University, he’s starred in productions from Hagz to Die Fledermaus and performed the EuroPride Oslo 2014 song «Love» across Scandinavia — a true multilingual, multi‑talented performer. Artists, take note. Rhian hit the LGBTQ Music Chart by submitting — not waiting. Your song could be next. Don’t gamble on 1%.

Tasos P. — «Avra»

Tasos P delivers a fresh electronic sound inspired by UK dance culture and modern pop, blending melodic house, shimmering synths and atmospheric production. An artist with purpose, he champions LGBTQ+ visibility, freedom of expression and inclusivity, using his music and identity to create a space where everyone can feel seen, heard and unapologetically themselves. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Paul David — «Unencumbered Stardust»

«Unencumbered Stardust» is Paul David’s alt‑pop earworm that turns life, death and an egg‑salad sandwich into pure cosmic chaos. With infectious grooves and a brilliantly offbeat concept, it whisks listeners from life to stardust to sandwich in one unforgettable ride. Clever, catchy and wildly original, it’s a track that sticks in your head and refuses to let go. Artists who submit get heard. Artists who wait get 1%. Choose wisely.
