Sam Smith & Kim Petras debut at #1 in the UK with ‘Unholy’

[Slayer]

Oh wow!

It becomes Sam’s 8th Number 1 and Kim’s first!

Sam Smith and Kim Petras make a divine debut at the top of the Official Singles Chart with Unholy. 

Despite trailing in second place midweek behind David Guetta and Bebe Rexha, the juddering club track materialises at Number 1, racking up 5.9 million streams and gifting Sam Smith their eighth Number 1 single - putting them in line with Oasis and The Rolling Stones - and Kim Petras her first-ever UK chart topper. 

Speaking exclusively to OfficialChart.com, Sam Smith said: “It felt glorious and liberating making this record in the studio, but we had no idea the global response would be as overwhelming as it has been. 

“Seeing the fans’ reactions around the world responding to the track in the same way has been completely humbling. Working with Kim has been a joy, I can’t wait for everyone to hear more.”

Kim Petras said: "I just want to say thank you Sam and thank you everyone for listening to the song!"

This becomes Kim's second song to ever chart in the UK.

Her first song to chart 'Running Up That Hill' charted at #100 and now Unholy charts at #1.

If Sam Smith is trying to look like Pat Butcher, then they are succeeding

I don’t get how this and I’m Good got to #1 but ******* Elton John and Britney ******* Spears peaked at #3. The AUDACITY UK 

[Abdul]

Basic and cringe video  I even  couldn’t watch the whole video his voice is kinda annoying too  

[SexyLove]

The song has some really good moments. The chorus is insanely catchy. But as usual, these dumb artists don't realize people don't want songs under ******* 3 min which then ruins it for me.

Such a good pop song, love it

[Acer]

I can’t understand this song. Not pop music. I don’t like it at all. And video? Did wife forgive her husband for his affair with men? Could someone explain it to me?

[BrittonJeanSpears]

I don't care for the song, but I love all the thirst traps it spawned on Tik Tok.
