celeb news Billboard: Miley is Comeback Star of the Year

[Fastlane]

On Jan. 24, “Flowers” debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 – only Cyrus’ second No. 1 on the chart, following the three-week reign of “Wrecking Ball” 10 years earlier – and also launched as the biggest song in the world, reigning on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts too. On Jan. 19, it became the most-streamed song in a single week in Spotify history – only to rewrite the streamer’s record with an even bigger week 2. A sampling of other “Flowers” feats: It spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100; it has the longest No. 1 run for a female artist ever on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary (34 weeks) and Adult Pop Airplay (17 weeks) charts; it’s the quickest song to hit 1 billion streams in Spotify history; and it was named the fourth-best song of 2023 by the Billboard staff.  

 

That can really be said about her comeback success with “Flowers” too: The song is both the most grown-up and fully realized song we’ve ever heard from the Hannah Montana child star-turned-adult pop powerhouse, while still embodying the carefree, no-effs-given attitude that has made her such a firebrand throughout her career. 

 

The last time she topped the Hot 100, she came in like a wrecking ball. This time, she comes bearing flowers. But she’s still just being Miley.

So well deserved

Her second iconic comeback following Bangerz. She is truly having a Cher-like career of spectacular ups and yes some downs, but always staying relevant.

6 Grammys nominations while she was on vacation the whole year and couldn't care less, love that for her! Other girlies wishing to be so relevant and unbothered at the same time

Justice for Violet Chemistry. It should have been a single.

[chosensparkles]

well they didn't lie!

tbh too bad the album wasn't as great as I expected

Island still a huge bop

[HandsInTheAir]

She is such a queen.. 17 years of a great career and still has new records. LEGEND.

[Scars]

So, outside of ESV, her catalog sold 1M-ish units in the US? that's great. 

 

So deserved. Imagine being in the game for 17 years and still achieving new highs. 

[CottageHore]

She’s a legend in the making. Just wait until she does the Super Bowl halftime show in the future, her 3rd career peak is upon us. 

[AvadaKedavra]

Really underrated era. Deserved a big tour.  River a gay anthem
Plastic Hearts really was the best thing to happen to her. Now we love Miley again.
We have respect for her again.  Cant wait for her future records.
