The penultimate chapter in our Pride Month celebration brings the heat, the heart, and the high-energy heroics. This set of 20 tracks includes underground club staples, unapologetic radio hits, and drag runway essentials that helped define queer joy in the 80s. From Divine’s camp swagger to Queen and Bowie’s urgent harmonies, these were the songs that soundtracked liberation, flirtation, and fearless self-expression. As we move closer to the top, every beat feels louder, every lyric more true. Pride lives in the pulse, and this countdown proves it.
