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.
Melanie Wehbe dominates this week’s charts with «Alive», the official Stockholm Pride anthem! The pop star’s soaring track celebrates courage, community and living life to the fullest, perfectly capturing the festival’s LGBTQ+ spirit. With writing credits since age 14, Melanie has used music to explore her identity from debut EP «Bloom» to today’s empowering «Alive». Stockholm Pride handpicks an official song annually to spotlight artists embodying its values, making this milestone deeply personal for the chart-topper. As she takes the stage, «Alive» marks a powerful moment in Melanie’s story, proving why she’s this week’s number one pick!
This week’s Highlight of the Week goes to Leonardo Amor and his captivating single «My All», a soulful pop release that seamlessly blends gospel-inspired warmth with contemporary production polish. Building on his reputation as a recognised talent from Melodi Grand Prix 2026 (MGP), Amor delivers deeply personal lyrics wrapped in vocally rich arrangements designed to resonate with audiences and reward repeated listens. This emotionally charged track marks a pivotal moment in his artistic journey, showcasing why the artist continues to build momentum and establish a commanding presence on the LGBTQ Music Chart. With its universal appeal, authentic storytelling and polished execution, «My All» cements Leonardo Amor as an exciting emerging voice in today’s competitive music landscape, making it the perfect choice for anyone seeking meaningful pop music with soul and substance.
Tommy Atkins celebrates a triumphant return to the LGBTQ Music Chart, earning this week’s Newcomer of the Week crown with his brand-new single «Wild Honey». Following a lengthy absence, his last chart appearance dating back to Week 47 of 2021 with the acclaimed hit «It Took a Woman» featuring Rissi Palmer, the artist is back in full force and poised to make waves all over again. «Wild Honey» signals the dawn of an exciting new chapter for Atkins, whose loyal fanbase has eagerly awaited his long-overdue comeback. With its irresistible charm and trademark authenticity, the single reaffirms Tommy Atkins as a distinctive voice within the LGBTQ music community, proving that some absences only make the heart grow sweeter.
Jens Daniels claims this week’s Song of the Week honour with «Faller Langsomt» («Falling slowly»), a deeply emotional Norwegian-language release that marks his debut appearance on the Outed On Friday! playlist. The artist, whose full name is Jens Daniel Augestad Halvorsen, delivers a slow-burn track infused with heartfelt vulnerability and atmospheric depth, capturing the quiet ache of falling apart piece by piece. Blending raw emotion with melodic strength, «Faller Langsomt» represents a striking first impression that lingers long after the final note fades. This powerful debut showcases why Jens Daniels is one to watch, combining Nordic sensibility with universal themes of heartbreak and introspection. For listeners seeking authentic, mood-driven music with substance, «Faller Langsomt» stands as essential listening and proves exactly why it has secured this week’s coveted song recognition.
