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.

Skrellex — «Freedom»

Skrellex drops the powerful protest track «Freedom» today, raising money for Save the Children’s work in Gaza. The Norwegian drag artist — long vocal in support of Palestine — refuses to look away as the crisis continues. Some were surprised when he entered Melodi Grand Prix with «Into the Wild», but he made his stance crystal clear, telling Blikk.no earlier this year: «Israel has nothing to do with Eurovision». Want real visibility?Submit your track. Don’t rely on a 1% miracle.

Erika Vikman — «Adam & Steve»

Erika Vikman drops her sizzling new single «Adam & Steve»,  the bold follow‑up to her English‑language debut «Father (I Will Never Confess)» released in February. A playful nod to the queer community that has championed her throughout her career, the track arrives fresh off her Eurovision 2025 success, proving the Finnish star is firmly in her international pop era. Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Sebastian Rydgren — «Night Hours»

Sebastian Rydgren drops «Night Hours»,  a haunting track about clinging to something already broken. It captures the sting of betrayal from someone you love while still holding tight to the dream of a future together. Moving through that painful in‑between where reality has hit but emotions refuse to surrender, it’s a raw, intimate slice of late‑night heartbreak.  Artists, take note — not waiting. Your song could be next. Don’t gamble on 1%.

Sin Circuit — «Pump it all away»

Sin Circuit unleashes pure dance‑floor chaos with «Pump It All Away», the latest high‑energy blast from the South Florida LGBTQ+ dance‑pop and EDM project. Known for Pride‑fuelled beats, nightlife inspiration and playful online‑culture flair, Sin Circuit blends infectious hooks, club‑ready production and cheeky storytelling into a sound built for late nights, loud speakers and unapologetic fun.Submit your song and boost your chances to almost 99% — or wait on that tiny 1% gamble. Your call.

Lads Club — «Love on Top of Love»

Brighton’s hottest new synth‑pop duo Ladsclub return with «Love on Top of Love», an absolute eighties‑inspired belter from their upcoming album «Play Together». With a killer sing‑along chorus and an anthemic, neon‑soaked sound, the track tells the tale of a scheming sociopath trying — and failing — to tear apart a happy couple. They wake up, fight back and triumph, turning the drama into a full‑blown pop victory. Artists who submit get heard. Artists who wait get 1%. Choose wisely.
