LGBT Pride Month is going into full swing. Here in the Carolinas, Pride season will stretch all the way into fall. To make your celebrations even more fun and exciting, take a look at what Spotify says are its most-streamed songs on its Pride-themed playlists. The music streaming service analyzed tens of thousands of playlists and found the top tracks, spanning several decades and even including classics like Judy Garland’s “Over the Rainbow,” which came in at number one.
Other songs in the list include the iconic “Believe” from the ever-popular diva herself, Cher. It came in at number two. More contemporary songs made it on the list, too, including two from Lady Gaga. The only surprise? Where’s Sister Sledge’s “We are Family”?

My God, who came up with this list? How old are they, 19? So many great PRIDE anthems are missing here, and so many that are listed that don’t have a damned thing to do with it. Please find another source next time, but don’t ask any “gay” person here in Charlotte who’s under 30. All they know is gangster rap.
I agree with Jamie, this is a pretty crappy list.
