CottageHore Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I totally get people’s disbelief. As a fan, I’m also so shocked by all this, but minimizing this smashery to “algorithm changes” is just daft. The song is everywhere online. People are talking about it and it’s a grower. It’s easily consumable by the masses because it was written with that intention. Also, Miley played the long game rebuilding her image to be marketable to the GP over the past 5 years as it’s finally paying off. Her being under a new label that knows how to handle her star power is also helping. We can’t pretend like Miley isn’t a huge name in music. She’s a very big celebrity and with this song streaming up all these (erroneous) stories about her relationship with Liam, the GP is intrigued and inspired by the message of the song. Just let women be successful without invalidating it all the time. Y’all are insufferable
Raptus Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Is it really that strange? It's her most safe sounding single. Mother's Daughter was too edgy for soccer moms. Even my grandma likes Flowers.
Mystic Boy Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 INSANE But Midnight Sky deserved these numbers

It’s smashing just not 15M level Why not? if it happened with someone basically unknown at the time like Olivia and drivers license it can happen with everyone. It just needs to be the right song that the General public can connect.
Jooj Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Oficially a WB-sized smasha! Hopefully the album overperforms and does 200k - 300k first week too

Ms. Togekiss Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 anyone have a country by country breakdown of the streams? This must be global af

Kylizzle Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 She took a page from Drivers License stream trajectory I see. Congrats
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted January 17, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 17, 2023 Listen, I was optimistic but DAMN Miley this is insane!

If anything, if people thought PH was good, that would be more motivation for people to listen to Flowers whether it's better or worse than PH materials
Eóghan Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 the mental gymnastics in here just to justify why they don't like a song that everyone else likes every freaking time. stop being such predictable narcissists y'all
tbhmatt Posted January 17, 2023 Author Posted January 17, 2023 Just absolutely mindbogglingly humongous numbers, I can’t wait to dive in and look at the increases and analysis later
ATRL Moderator wehavetostan Posted January 17, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted January 17, 2023 Slide Away deserved (if only she had a competent label at that time)
SmashingMiley Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Absolutely insane Never would I ever have thought in a million years. Almost 16 MILLION streams A worldwide sensation, global mega smasha. I’m so so happy for her. Truly never would have thought
Otter Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 1 hour ago, MrLovett said: This is such a nonsense take. She's absolutely dominating on every platform. Are you trying to argue that the Spotify algorithm helped her skyrocket to #1 on Apple Music too? Or net her almost 50M YouTube views? It's a massive smash on every platform, the Spotify algorithm has nothing to do with it. 1 hour ago, pika said: The absolute Fanfiction She’s dominating on every other platform from Apple Music to Youtube to iTunes. Where are the made-up bot algorithms for that? Katy stans (don’t be fooled by the K-Pop avi, Roar is this person’s favorite song) are so incapable of acknowledging someone else’s success. No, it’s actually possible for someone to do exceptionally well when you’re cared about as an artist and not glued to a single producer for hits. I don't think he was outright dismissing it, more curious. It's one thing to be number one on various platforms, and then it's another to rise to 15m on spotify on your 4th day, especially considering the song started at much less. Apple/itunes don't provide numbers so I get the Tiktok comparison. But as @MrLovett mentioned, the youtube views are matching the huge spotify numbers.
