It’s Friday, the inboxes are finally quiet and the club lights are flicking on — and «Outed on Friday!» has your official weekend soundtrack. From glittering club pop to cheeky seasonal singalongs and heart-on-sleeve balladry, this week’s roundup promises drama, hooks and plenty of reasons to hit replay.
Five sizzling new singles are poised to crash the LGBTQ Music Chart next week, and they’re not asking politely. If you’ve been hoarding votes like a miser with coins, now’s the time to spend them — your fave could rocket from barroom banger to chart-topper with one decisive click. Voting opens every Monday at the LGBTQ Music Chart site; make it part of your Monday ritual and give that track the shove it needs.
Now it’s revealed that me (Ephram St. Cloud) are this summer substitute on the LGBTQ Music Chart, don’t panic — the show is still the place for exclusive spins, hot takes and the kind of commentary that can make a sleeper track blow up overnight. It’s the queer music fix your weekend deserves: tune in, turn it up and bask in the chaos.
Two weeks ago we rolled out our brand‑new submission form, making the entire process far easier — and far fairer. Your priority points now depend on where you follow us, with the highest‑scoring artists placed first in line for Outed on Friday! Every point is verified: if you claim to follow us on Instagram, we check your profile — and if you’re not actually following, you simply don’t get the points. You can’t change your score afterwards, but any new follows will count towards your next submission, provided you’re still with us when we calculate.
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.

Melanie Wehbe sets the tone for Stockholm Pride with «Alive», a soaring anthem about courage, community and living life to the fullest. Each year Stockholm Pride selects an official Pride song to soundtrack the festival and spotlight an artist who embodies its LGBTQ+ values — and Melanie’s journey makes this one deeply personal. Writing songs since she was 14, she’s used music to explore identity from her debut EP «Bloom» to today’s «Alive», marking a powerful, meaningful moment in her story.
Zedned is an English experimental pop project and alter‑ego created by Liverpool‑born singer‑songwriter and producer Jake Muscles. Blending left‑field pop, sharp electronic edges and a flair for boundary‑pushing creativity, Zedned stands out as a bold, genre‑bending force in the UK underground scene — a fresh, unpredictable sound built for listeners who love pop with a twist.
Sin Circuit fires up the Outed On Friday! with «Pay My Tuition», a high‑energy, club‑ready anthem from the independent electronic dance artist known for bold, unapologetic LGBTQ+ bangers. Blending modern EDM, dance‑pop and slick festival‑grade production, the track delivers catchy hooks, driving beats and a playful, tongue‑in‑cheek take on attraction and temptation. It’s pure nightlife chaos — and another fearless win for Sin Circuit’s dance‑floor mission.
Greyson Chance isn’t holding back. His new single «Sugar Rush», a piano‑led, string‑soaked follow‑up to «Jock Porn» — pushes him deeper into the confident, unfiltered era he’s been crafting all year. It’s bold, addictive and absolutely built for Outed On Friday! — the playlist Spotify themselves forced into becoming an Apple Music exclusive. And this time, Spotify can’t blame Apple: «Sugar Rush» is simply too good to ignore.
«Cloud 9» steals the spotlight alongside the «Adam» album release, delivering one of the record’s most instantly addictive pop moments. Wrapped in shimmering dance‑pop production with a teasing touch of drum and bass, the track captures the head‑spinning euphoria of sensual intimacy, glossy, alluring and effortlessly intoxicating.

Whether you’re heading out or staying in, these five releases give you everything from confessional pop to holiday eye-rolls and rousing anthems. Now go on — make it loud. Make it queer.
