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.

Electra — «Vem du vill»

Elecktra, one of Sweden’s most beloved drag entertainers, is back with «Vem du vill» — a sparkling new single whose title means «whoever you want». After becoming a nationwide sensation on Drag Race Sweden 2023, her breakout hit «Unna Daj (Synd å slänga ju)» exploded into a cultural phenomenon with over 40 million TikTok views and a chorus sung everywhere from clubs to supermarkets. Now she’s ready to charm Sweden and the world all over again with her latest release. Want real visibility?Submit your track. Don’t rely on a 1% miracle.

Nick Hissom — «Dangerous (Get Locked)»

Nick Hissom crashes back into the LGBTQ Music Chart with his sleek new single «Dangerous (Get Locked)», serving desire, confidence and total pop control. Known for cinematic visuals and razor‑sharp, emotionally precise bangers, he’s stepping into his hottest and most honest era yet — and fans are already hooked on the danger. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Joe McElderry — «Love Me Out Loud»

Joe McElderry makes a triumphant return with «Love Me Out Loud». The English singer‑songwriter, who won The X Factor in 2009, shot straight to Number One with his debut single «The Climb», topping both the UK and Irish charts. Still very much in the game, McElderry brings his signature charm and powerhouse vocals back to the spotlight with a fresh pop anthem fans are already embracing. Artists, take note — not waiting. Your song could be next. Don’t gamble on 1%.

Duran Duran & Trixie Mattel — «Free to Love»

Trixie Mattel brings pure audacity to her «Free to Love» mix, telling Xsnoize she amped up the BPM, added cosmic‑disco sparkle and a «fat nasty bass» because, as she puts it, «I firmly believe anything can be made gayer». The track nods to pop royalty Duran Duran, the Birmingham‑born band formed in 1978 whose classic line‑up — Rhodes, John Taylor, Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor — helped define an era of British pop brilliance. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Greyson Chance — «Jock Porn»

Greyson Chance knows how to command attention (or he knows his audience very well), ever since his viral 2010 performance of «Paparazzi» racked up more than 72 million views. Now the American singer‑songwriter leans into bold humour to promote his latest track, telling fans to «support gay music» while streaming «Jock Porn». It’s classic Greyson: cheeky, fearless and impossible to ignore as he steps into a new era of unapologetic pop confidence. Artists who submit get heard. Artists who wait get 1%. Choose wisely.
