October 6, 20204 yr I would contest that their absolute refusal to do promotion and to perform on TV might have something to do with it. We can blame anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes but there's no particular evidence for that and the far more likely answer is that Sam, specifically known for their voice, never actually showcases it in a promotional setting. Look at how performance promo pays off for artists like Miley when a song needs a push - Sam is not out there doing that, is not visible at all from the moment a song drops. That and the album is literally around the corner with so many singles releases left & right it’s so messy, but promo is coming.

Why are they refusing to promote? I didn't know this
October 12, 20204 yr Why are they refusing to promote? I didn't know this That's not true. Sam performed To Die For earlier this year on Graham Nortn.
October 12, 20204 yr They are performing on Graham Norton at the end of the month! Amazing!!! I really can’t wait to hear this live!
October 12, 20204 yr Why are they refusing to promote? I didn't know this It wasn't meant that literally. Neither How Do You Sleep nor I'm Ready got any performances. To Die For got one. DWAS was never performed with Normani. It's been... minimal. Excited for Graham Norton though! Edited October 12, 20204 yr by jark
October 18, 20204 yr #15 in the mids!!! Very happy with that. Hopefully it’ll remain top20 by Friday!
October 19, 20204 yr I'm so happy they're getting a proper hit with this. One of the best songs on the chart at the moment.
October 20, 20204 yr Spotify streams are still pretty shit but it's climbing due to songs above going onto ACR. Hopefully the GN performance gives it some proper momentum and it can maybe make top 10 on album release week...

But it’s Apple Music streams are pretty good and iTunes remains stable, people are so weird.. what’s up with the Spotify?
October 20, 20204 yr Omg how difficult is it for people to get their pronouns right? Omg You're assuming everyone knows Sam is non-binary. If it weren't for this thread on Buzzjacks I wouldn't have a clue, not everybody follows them or reads the types of articles that would cover this. I for one don't read LGBTQ+ magazines or trash tabloid / gossip mags. Also people slip up or forget, it is a relatively new thing afterall. Maybe don't be so judgemental and stop being so offended by it when nobody means to offend. Edited October 22, 20204 yr by Spiceboy

I for once don't read LGBTQ+ magazines or trash tabloid / gossip mags. Also people slip up or forget, it is a relatively new thing afterall. Maybe don't be so judgemental and stop being so offended by it when nobody means to offend. See I completely agree with this, I have to edit my comments a lot of the time as I forget. I don’t get how users on here (not just you Cqmerqn) feel the need to get so angry when sometimes it’s just an obvious mistake it would be a different story if people are mocking how they identify themselves but a lot of people are completely unaware on the binary Sam refers himself too!
October 20, 20204 yr I always make the mistake of pronouns with Sam too it is hard to remember it literally every single post. And outside of this forum, I guess the vast majority of people will also go by Sam’s birth pronoun too. It’s a very new way of how people like to be known as now and unfortunately not something some understand too. But i think as a site everyone’s very aware and make an effort to go by they / them now. You should see some of the stuff what they say off this forum though. The recent comments they made saying they have “girls breasts and thighs” have raised eyebrows.
