Scars

I wouldn't say that, Miley was very unlucky with Party in the USA peaking at #2 and it's EP also peaking at #2 despite selling +100K for many weeks. People here forget that RCA struggled to get physicals of PH out during its debut week, this 60k number was never truly representative of its popularity so it's good that the chart position balances that out a bit.

The Time Of Our Lives (that one EP with Party in the USA) spent months doing +100k while charting at #2 and #3 and it actually charted at #7 during it's highest-selling week (150k). Justice for that one too.

Miley is such a wildcard, oh my god. Nothing screams more Miley than missing the top with genuine successes like Plastic Hearts and ESV, which even had a good debut, only to end up getting her first #1 this decade with this one.

If her team is smart enough (we know they aren't but a gay can only hope), a few TikTok videos from the Hollywood Bowl dates making the rounds are all it takes for the album to re-chart in the lower half of the Billboard 200 again next month and make the final chart run look less bad. I'll wait until tomorrow to say my congrats though, I don't want to jinx it.

No one can deny how much effort our girl has put into getting her career to where it is today.

No, EOTW debuted at #33 globally and #26 in the US.

Good that it debuted with the same numbers as EOTW, considering Spotify numbers are much lower overall now and honestly, EOTW sounded much more like a hit than BP.

They're using new criteria to calculate streams and heavily filtering them now, so the era of mass streaming (and streaming farms) is over.

Waiting for Different Religion to come out.

It's actually the Andrew Watt production, things didn't end up well between them.

Anyway I'm probably alone on this but I'm actually more excited to hear Different Religion than Bass Persuades. The teaser, the sound and the description from insiders got me obsessed with it. Ughhh

I have my own list of criticisms towards Miley as a stan, but people really do the most when it comes to her albums. Let's put into perspective that in the last seven years all of Miley releases had songs that were either career highlights or were among the best pop songs released that year. Slide Away, Midnight Sky and Walk of Fame to name a few. Her material is actually much stronger now than the first half of her career and that is something that most artists can't relate, especially when you're doing it for nearly 20 years. Most pop girls become a caricture of their prime years by that point but Miley refuses to be reduced to that despite internet gays screaming for a "Bangerz 2.0 era" whenever they can. Those things alone put her in a much better place than some of the so-called MPGs with "great discographies" that are burned out and have nothing truly exciting to put out anymore.

Love that PH is always the one getting the biggest boost whenever there is a new release, this cult classic!

It wasn't made by a stan. This isn't even the only one, there are so many of these on YouTube with millions of views. people really love to capitalize on death and mourning, it's disgusting.
