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.

We need to clarify this : Any issues related to the submission or the radio show must be addressed to us via DM on BlueSky (No mention). This applies to any questions about LGBTQ Music Chart radio show as well:  Please refrain from contacting the radio station or the host! 

Featured Acts: Who’s Serving This Week

Big change this week: the 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.

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

Nick Hissom — «Hot Boy Things»

Nick Hissom, aka Hizzy, brings bold sexuality, raw lyrics and full pop fantasy as he builds his own Universe. Raised in the UK on Britney, Daft Punk and Michael Jackson, he blends early‑00s Euro‑dance with fresh American beats, «classy with a little yeehaw» as he puts it — for a sound that hits hard. Want real visibility? Submit your track. Don’t rely on a 1% miracle.

José Alfredo — «Perro»

José Alfredo brings music and art to life with a career built on authenticity and evolution. He burst onto the scene in 2011 with Valiente, landing Billboard hits like «Cómo Estás» and «Mírame Bien». Since then, he’s pushed Latin pop forward, blending storytelling, emotion and bold new sounds that keep fans deeply connected. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Rhian — «Keep It Together»

Rhian! proves he can glide between pop bops, heartfelt ballads and full‑throttle dance‑floor bangers with ease. His sound is bold, emotional and crafted straight from the heart — a rising artist shaping his own fearless lane in modern pop. Artists, take note. Rhian hit the LGBTQ Music Chart by submitting — not waiting. Your song could be next. Don’t gamble on 1%.

Timothy Skyler — «Bait»

Timothy Skyler turns up the heat with «Bait», his March 2026 electropop/dance‑pop smash. The independent LGBTQ+ singer‑songwriter and producer, based near New York City, crafted both the track and its music video, blending pop, hip‑hop and lofi vibes into a slick, high‑energy queer anthem built for repeat plays. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Doryan — «Touch Me!»

Doryan unleashes pure queer pop theatre with “Touch Me!” — a flamboyant, 80s‑charged anthem dripping in 2000s nostalgia, cruising energy and cinematic drama. A synth‑soaked, high‑voltage demand for connection, it pulses with desire, heat and unapologetic swagger on the dancefloor. Artists who submit get heard. Artists who wait get 1%. Choose wisely.

Our playlist refreshes every Friday — some of this week’s featured singles might appear later depending on release timing across Amazon Music, Apple Music, YouTube and Spotify. Follow the playlist on Apple Music  or Spotify so you don’t miss the moment something becomes your new obsession.
