Gloria, the singer’s fourth studio album, was released on Friday and is the first LP they have released in three years.
It was abandoned after nearly a year of public preparation from Sam, who released his debut single Love Me More in April 2022.
The Money on My Mind songwriter then took TikTok by storm with his viral hit single Unholy featuring German-born American singer Kim Petras,
The track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the duo’s first song to reach the duo’s No. 1 spot.

The outing comes after Sam revealed on Friday that they were spat on the street after coming out non-binary.
The Grammy winner changed his gender pronouns to them/them in 2019 and said he wishes he had done it sooner, but also spoke about the shocking backlash.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the popstar revealed that although there has been no issue with their new gender identity in their personal life, they have been harassed on the streets of England since their exit.
‘It’s crazy and exhausting’: The popstar recently revealed she was spat on in the street after coming out non-binary and changing her pronouns in 2019
They explained, “I think all the only negatives of wrestling have been in my public life and my job. And just the amount of hate and meanness that was happening to me was just exhausting.
‘It was in the f****** news. Someone spat on me in the street. It’s crazy. What I find difficult is if that happens to me and I’m famous, I’m a pop star, can you imagine how other kids feel, like gay kids?
“And it’s so sad that it’s 2023 and it’s still happening. It’s exhausting and especially in England.

Sam added: “So we have two sides, really.” My personal life and then my public life. And in my personal life there is not a single negative point.
‘My family, they can communicate with me. They always have. But they communicate with me now in an even better way. My love life has improved. I feel lovable. I feel good about myself, but I wear what I want to wear.
“Since I changed my pronouns, it was like coming home. I wish I had known what the words were when I was in school, because I would have identified with that in school. Because that’s who I am and that’s who I’ve always been.
Sam also said recently that it was a “shame” that no woman was nominated for Best Artist at the BRIT Awards.
The Too Good at Goodbyes singer was one of the first musicians to call for the ceremony to be “reflexive”, helping organizers make the event the first UK grand prix to abolish gender categories.
But Sam still thinks there is a “long way to go” after the shortlist for this year’s prestigious award featured only male nominees.
Sam said there were plenty of female artists who should have made the shortlist, instead of just Harry Styles, Stormzy, George Ezra, Central Cee and Fred Again vying for the award.
When asked which women should have been shortlisted, they said, “Cat Burns. Anne Marie. Florence welch. There are so many amazing female talents in the UK – they should be on this list.
They said, “Things are moving forward, but obviously it’s not there yet. to see this [best artist] list, there is still a long way to go”.
“It’s incredibly frustrating. I feel like it should be easy to do.”
