LGBTQ Music Chart – Week 45 – 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
Boyzone — «Better»
Boyzone’s «Better» has claimed this week’s number one spot, a fitting tribute, given that it stands among Stephen Gately’s final recorded performances. In honour of Stephen, the track was added to the «Out on Friday!» playlist. Seventeen years on, his voice still resonates through the corridors of pop history, a poignant reminder that sometimes the brightest stars burn too briefly. He was Boyzone’s beautiful voice, silenced far too soon, an Irish local hero whose artistry left an indelible mark on pop music forever.
This Week’s Highlight
Gravity Noir — «Patchwork Parade (feat. Patrick J. A.)»
Gravity Noir’s «Patchwork Parade (feat. Patrick J. A.)» is this week’s Highlight of the Week, rolling out a breezy, sun-soaked reggae single stitched together with warm horns, laid-back grooves and an irresistible singalong hook. After huge fan demand, Patrick Knight has re-recorded every track on the new album Velvet Hush himself — giving the vocals a more intimate, authentic feel and, released as a lead single, «Patchwork Parade (feat. Patrick J. A.)» is crafted to shine and conquer Pride parades everywhere.
This Newcomer of the week
Girl in Red — «Missing person»
Girl in Red is this week’s Newcomer of the Week with her new single, «Missing person». Girl in Red returns to the LGBTQ Music Chart with «Missing person», the second single from her forthcoming EP, Blue. Two albums in, the Norwegian singer-songwriter delivers the soft, wistful, acoustic-driven pop she does best and diehard fans certainly won’t be disappointed.
Song of the Week
Kyle Alessandro — «Tide»
Kyle Alessandro’s «Tide» is this week’s Song of the Week. The track is an upbeat electro-dance record, driven by a positive and empowering message of having «nothing left to hide», a theme sure to resonate with listeners everywhere. «Tide» showcases a more experimental tone for Kyle Alessandro, following his memorable Eurovision Grand Final performance of «Lighter» in 2025, where he represented Norway on one of the world’s biggest stages. With its infectious beats, uplifting lyrics and bold electronic production, «Tide» is set to become essential listening for fans of dance-pop and Eurovision music alike.
