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.
Benjamin rockets to Number One this week as «Badabim (My Kind Of Terapiaa)» storms to the top of the LGBTQ Music Chart. After a record‑breaking year of radio hits, viral tours and platinum‑level pop moments, the Finnish star proves once again why he’s one of the most talked‑about names in modern pop — bold, unstoppable and firmly in his hit‑making era.
Joakim Kleven and his fiery new single «Freak» take the crown as this week’s Highlight of the Week. The out‑and‑proud Norwegian creative powerhouse crashes into pop with the same fearless flair that made him a standout filmmaker, photographer and content creator. Now building a bold, unapologetic musical universe fuelled by raw emotion, visual drama and pure pop adrenaline, Kleven proves he’s just as magnetic behind the mic as he is behind the camera.
Skrellex claims Newcomer of the Week with her fierce protest anthem «Freedom». The Norwegian drag star drops a powerful track raising money for Save the Children’s work in Gaza, standing firm in her long‑held support for Palestine. Some were surprised when she entered Melodi Grand Prix with «Into the Wild», but she made her stance crystal clear to Blikk.no earlier this year: «Israel has nothing to do with Eurovision».
Greg Dillon’s «Big Chemistry» is this week’s Song of the Week, cementing the pop visionary’s rise as a nostalgia‑fuelled superstar. From small‑town New Hampshire to finding his artistic fire in Brooklyn, he’s built a shimmering emotional universe of cinematic synths, bittersweet memories and bold queer aesthetics. With heartfelt storytelling and glittering production, Dillon turns past ghosts into anthems that feel both deeply personal and universally irresistible.

Look here : Spotify has begun blocking playlists from public view without proof of any terms breach — including our own Outed On Friday! playlist. We’ve protested, but there’s no official way to appeal. As a result, we no longer consider Spotify a reliable partner. We strongly recommend following our playlists on Apple Music as a backup. For now, Outed On Friday! is only available on Apple Music — Spotify made it this way. If you have a contact person at Spotify, we’d truly appreciate your help in getting our playlist accessible to everyone again.
