After “Unholy” first caused euphoria on TikTok, the joint song by Kim Petras and Sam Smith stormed the US Billboard charts. “Unholy” also reached number one in Canada, Australia and Great Britain, and the song made it into the top ten in Germany.
The special thing is not only that Kim Petras is a German musician, but also the first top placement of a trans woman. A great success for the LGBTQ community, which until now has only had a few prominent identification figures in the music industry.
In an Instagram post, the 30-year-old thanked the Briton, with whom she has been friends for years. “Sam, I can’t thank you enough for being by my side over the years. So honored to be a part of your first #1 in the US. Love you forever Angel Sam,” Petras wrote.
