LGBTQ Music Chart – Week 27 – 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
Benjamin — «Helahoito»
Benjamin rockets to Number One this week as «Helahoito» storms to the top of the LGBTQ Music Chart. After a record‑breaking year of radio hits, viral tours and platinum‑level pop moments, the Finnish star proves once again why he’s one of the most talked‑about names in modern pop — bold, unstoppable and firmly in his hit‑making era.
This Week’s Highlight
Damien Cain & Jamie Wiltshire — «Caleb»
Damien Cain and Jamie Wiltshire steal the spotlight as this week’s Highlight of the Week with their breathtaking duet «Caleb». The «Caleb (JD Radio Edit)» delivers a soaring queer pop‑rock ballad drenched in 80s‑tinged emotion, pairing Cain’s raw intensity with Wiltshire’s striking vocal presence. Together they craft a modern, heart‑wrenching tale of memory, loss and the things we never truly let go. Anchored by the unforgettable refrain — «I’ll never forget, I’ll never regret, Caleb» — the track lands as a dramatic, deeply personal standout for Pride season.
This Newcomer of the week
Isak Danielson — «Stockholm»
Isak Danielson’s «Stockholm» takes the crown as this week’s Newcomer of the Week. Written over Zoom with Brad Mair during the Covid years, the track was born from a moment of heartbreak — Isak alone in the city he calls home, trying to make sense of grief, regret and that quiet, lingering ache of what if?. «Stockholm» is a tender, beautifully restrained reflection on the love that didn’t survive and the future that might have existed if they’d made it through.
Song of the Week
King Vagabond — «Chasing Cars »
King Vagabond storms in as this week’s Song of the Week with their electrifying single «Chasing Cars». Queer‑fronted, New York‑bred and fiercely independent, the duo is reshaping the alt‑pop landscape with a razor‑sharp blend of alternative, indie electronic and pop that hits hard on the dance floor and explodes on stage. This mythological, Arthurian‑inspired force of nature serves as the fantastical, 80s‑charged avatar for vocalist Joey Dean and guitarist‑producer Niko Vaude, channelling their shared creative consciousness into a bold, cinematic universe of sound and spectacle. King Vagabond isn’t just a music project — it’s a full‑scale queer power saga built for fans who crave drama, edge and unapologetic intensity.

- Breakout bangers and beloved anthems dominate the Top 50.

Look here : Spotify has begun blocking playlists from public view without proof of any terms breach — including our own Outed On Friday! playlist. We’ve protested, but there’s no official way to appeal. As a result, we no longer consider Spotify a reliable partner. We strongly recommend following our playlists on Apple Music as a backup. For now, Outed On Friday! is only available on Apple Music — Spotify made it this way. If you have a contact person at Spotify, we’d truly appreciate your help in getting our playlist accessible to everyone again.
