«Outed on Friday!» Week 51 2025 — The Weekend That Brings the Noise

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.

New Releases Set to Ruin Your Sleep (In The Best Way)

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.

The Radio Scoop: Tim Graham’s Weekly Revelation

If you missed the live reveal on the LGBTQ Music Chart with Tim Graham, 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.

Artists — This One’s for You: Submission Rules (Yes, They Matter)

Want your song played next Saturday? Submit. Follow the rules. Seriously. Too many promising tracks get bounced for tiny missteps — the number one offence is not having an active BlueSky account. If you’re serious about being heard, get your socials in order and follow the submission checklist to the letter. Artists who skip it get left at the back of the queue while the rule-followers dance past them.

Featured Acts: Who’s Serving This Week

Catch these tunes on next week’s radio show — don’t miss them.

Greczula — «Love»

Pop sensation Greczula drops surprise «Greczula Deluxe» with three new tracks and on of the songs are «Love», teases Melodifestivalen 2026 return and a New Year’s Eve performance on SVT (Swedens BBC). Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music Chart.

Chioke Dmachi — «Everytime»

Chioke DMachi is baring his soul and turning heartbreak into hypnotic pop drama—his single «Everytime» (and the shadowy Crossworm remix) traps you in a loop of lust, trust, and ruin until growth finally snaps the cycle. Once known for surprising twists, he now leans into darker, mood-soaked repetition that still hooks with irresistible melodies. For queer listeners, his music is a mirror and a release: messy, raw, and defiantly hopeful. Through bold visuals and candid storytelling, Chioke is logging his life out loud and carving out space for queer voices that demand to be felt and celebrated. Submitted by artist/record label/management.

Joya & Isserman — «Wicked Game»

Hong Kong-born singer-songwriter Joya turns quiet confessions into anthemic indie-pop—her folk-tinged, lyric-driven songs read like diary pages, intimate and unflinching as they probe identity, queerness, and self-acceptance. Live, she transforms vulnerability into communal catharsis—her shows are basically group therapy with a killer soundtrack—inviting listeners to sit with the messy, beautiful questions most artists dodge. London’s own Issermann is the soundtrack to dramatic mood swings—part alt-pop auteur, part metal-heart producer—who writes and shapes songs for himself and others with cinematic flair. He fuses glossy hooks with gritty guitar scars and lyrics that tilt toward the melodramatic, turning intimate, angsty ballads into full-throttle, electric-guitar bangers that hit like a confession and a fist in the air at once. Whether whispering vulnerability or detonating riffs, Issermann makes every track feel like a mini soap opera you can’t stop replaying. Lucky pick by LGBTQ Music Chart.

Mags — «Blue»

Meet Mags: a coffee-fueled, pasta-loving, slightly rusty-Spanish-speaking New Yorker at heart now roaming Copenhagen, mid-twenties and gloriously unpolished—she dances in her living room, scribbles feelings on napkins, and turns those messy moments into intimate indie-pop confessions. Her songs are sonic Polaroids: warm, awkward, and achingly honest, a diary set to melody that invites you into a tiny, unforgettable universe of memories she’s still figuring out. Lucky pick by the LGBTQ Music Chart!

Sander Sanchez — «Star»

Sander Sanchez is a sonic chameleon who’s been singing since he could speak, blending R&B velvet, 80s pop sheen, soul grit, Vapor Twitch shimmer, and ambient electronica into a sound that feels both ancient and futuristic. Half Native American from South Dakota and half Dane, his powwow-dancer roots give his music a spiritual pulse—think colourful, light-bending soundscapes that lift and haunt in equal measure. With reflective, heart-on-sleeve lyrics and dynamic production that swells from whisper to cinematic roar, Sander turns every track into a ritual: intimate, otherworldly, and impossible to ignore. Lucky pick by the LGBTQ Music Chart!
