LGBTQ Music Chart – Week 21 – 2026

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

Søren Torpegaard Lund — «Før vi går hjem»

Søren Torpegaard Lund may have finished 7th at Eurovision 2026, but he’s sitting proudly at No. 1 on the LGBTQ Music Chart this week. Raised in the small Danish town of Gudme, he found his calling in musical theatre by age ten and made history at 17 as the youngest ever accepted into The Danish National School of Performing Arts. Since then, he’s starred in major Danish productions as a singer, dancer and actor — a true powerhouse on the rise.

This Week’s Spotlight

Joel Brogon — «Here on the Rio Grande»

Joel Brogon scores Spotlight of the Week with «Here on the Rio Grande», a stunning showcase of his bold queer voice in Folk and Americana. Blending South Texas roots with the sounds of the U.S.–Mexico border, he channels 70s folk storytellers and 90s country tradition, crafting a rich, timeless style that’s unmistakably his.

This Newcomer of the week

Peder Elias — «Ms. Serotonin»

Peder Elias is Newcomer of the Week with «Ms. Serotonin», proving yet again why he’s one of Norway’s hottest pop exports. The singer, songwriter and producer blends catchy hooks with emotional depth, and his hit «Bonfire» became a sensation in South Korea, staying on the charts for over two years. With multiple top‑10 singles and a 2022 Genie Music Award, his global rise isn’t slowing down.

Highlight of the Week

Timothy Skyler — «Bait»

Timothy Skyler scores Highlight of the Week with «Bait», his electrifying March 2026 electropop/dance‑pop smash. The NYC‑based independent LGBTQ+ singer‑songwriter and producer crafted both the track and its music video, blending pop, hip‑hop and lofi vibes into a slick, high‑energy queer anthem built for repeat plays — and impossible to resist.

Song of the Week

Jonathan Rippon — «House With A Garage»

Jonathan Rippon scores Song of the Week with «House With A Garage», the latest upbeat pop‑dance gem from the London‑based queer singer‑songwriter and comedian. After his Britain’s Got Talent spotlight, he’s been lighting up cabaret, LGBTQ+ and comedy stages across the UK and beyond. This marks his second LGBTQ Music Chart appearance, cementing him as one of the scene’s most vibrant, versatile voices.
