Kim Petras — «Pop Sound»

Kim Petras returns to the LGBTQ Music Chart with «Pop Sound», a fresh, independent-era release that’s already turning heads. First dropped as a low‑key but evocative New York‑set video in February, the track forms part of her «Pretou», EP, a four‑song YouTube project paving the way for her upcoming indie debut «Detour». It’s classic Petras: sleek, stylish and signalling a bold new chapter. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Grikee — «Sneaky Sneaky man»

Grikee makes his bold Outed On Friday! debut with «Sneaky Sneaky man», a fearless follow‑up to his striking first single «Friends With The Devil». He’s an artist who thrives on risk — experimenting with unexpected beats, raw honesty and sounds that break away from cookie‑cutter pop. Brave, quirky and unapologetically himself, Grikee is carving out a lane all his own. His origins aren’t confirmed, but the vibe screams Denmark — and fans are already intrigued. Artists, take note — not waiting. Your song could be next. Don’t gamble on 1%.

Cas Du Pree & Mike Harley — «Dancefloor Games»

Cas Du Pree and Mike Harley team up for the explosive new hit «Dancefloor Games». Cas Du Pree, the rising Dutch pop force, joins UK talent Mike Harley to deliver a slick, club‑ready banger that shows exactly what their future collaborations will bring. This electrifying duet is only the beginning — and if «Dancefloor Games» is any indication, fans should brace themselves for a whole new era of international pop power. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Chris Houseman — «Another Love Song»

Chris Housman’s story hits right at the heart of country music. Growing up in Kansas, playing fiddle and singing classics with his family band at a Wild West show for Dodge City tourists. Now based in Nashville, he’s living a dream that once felt out of reach — building a thriving country career while proudly embracing his LGBTQ+ identity. A true modern trailblazer, he’s rewriting what country music can look and sound like. Artists who submit get heard. Artists who wait get 1%. Choose wisely.

Julia Alfrida — «Änglar & Demoner»

Julia Alfrida returns to the LGBTQ Music Chart with «Änglar & Demoner» — a striking new single whose title means «Angels & Demons». The Swedish artist is best known for her 2022 West Pride anthem «Coming Out», a breakout hit still featured on the LGBTQ Music Chart – Pride Playlist (Apple Music & Spotify). Now she’s back with a fresh dose of bold, emotional pop, ready to captivate listeners all over again.  Want real visibility?Submit your track. Don’t rely on a 1% miracle.
