Billboard celebrates Pride Month 2025 by unveiling its list of the 100 greatest LGBTQ+ anthems, including diverse icons like Elton John and Lil Nas X. The carefully curated compilation highlights notable tracks from over five decades, while ensuring variety by limiting artists to one song each. Additionally, the article offers resources to combat homophobia and address the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. The staff clarifies the subjective nature of determining what makes a song "gay," but affirms the list's commitment to impactful queer music.
Near the top of the list from 100 to 91 are classics like Lily Allen's "F**k You" at 99, "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys at 98, and Mika's "Grace Kelly" at 97.
Billboard only allowed one song per artist to ensure the list wasn't just filled with every ABBA song in existence.
Billboard's top 100 LGBTQ+ anthems list might not match your exact opinion on the best queer hits, but it's undeniably filled with tunes every self-respecting diva needs in their rotation.
The list showcased links on how to help fight back against homophobia in the US and beyond, including ways to push back against state-wide anti-LGBTQ+ bills.
