Miley Cyrus better be buying herself flowers after learning she scored her second #1 song on theĀ Billboard Hot 100.
Her new song “Flowers”Ā bloomed at #1Ā after amassing overĀ 52.6 million streams and selling overĀ 70,000 copies in its first week. In the first five hours of release, fans purchased 2,000 copies and blasted it across streaming platforms 685,000 times.
This song is her second chart leader after “Wrecking Ball” claimed the top spot for three weeks back in 2013, ending her nine-year dry spell. She had a song enter the top 10 in 2021 when she jumped onĀ The Kid LAROI‘s “Without You.”
“Flowers” is officially Miley’s highest debut on the chart. Previously, her anthemic hit “Party in the U.S.A.” claimed the title after bowing at #2 all the way back in 2009.
Also of note: “Flowers” is nowĀ the first #1Ā song Miley wrote and her sixth overall to enter the top 10.
Another fun tidbit is this is only the third song inĀ Billboard history to have the word “flower” in the title, followingĀ Barbra Streisand andĀ Neil Diamond‘s 1978 hit “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” and the smashĀ Post Malone andĀ Swae Lee collab “Sunflower.”
Elsewhere on the chart,Ā Shakira has made herĀ first appearance inĀ the top 10Ā since 2007. Her diss track “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” with DJĀ Bizarrap is at number nine this week. The last time we saw her this high on theĀ Hot 100 was when she teamed up with Beyoncé for “Beautiful Liar,” which peaked at #3.
