In a stunning achievement, Miley Cyrus‘ recent hit single “Flowers” has become the fastest song ever to reach a staggering one billion streams on Spotify. The record was previously held jointly by Harry Styles’ “As It Was” and Justin Bieber’s collaboration with The Kid LAROI, “Stay,” both of which reached the milestone in 118 days.
Released on January 12 as the lead single from her album “Endless Summer Vacation,” “Flowers” went on to dominate the music charts, becoming the longest-running UK Number One single for a female artist since Adele’s “Easy On Me” in 2021. The song also spent eight nonconsecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and held the title of most-streamed song on Spotify for two consecutive weeks.
Upon reaching the billion-stream milestone on May 4, Spotify commemorated the achievement, saying, “Some Flowers never fade,” and confirming that the song had become “the fastest song to reach one billion streams in Spotify history.”
Miley Cyrus expressed her gratitude to fans, saying, “Thanks a billion, I love you.” “Flowers” is the pop star’s second song to join the “billions club” following her 2009 hit single “Party In The U.S.A.”
“Endless Summer Vacation,” Cyrus’ latest album, has received positive reviews, with NME giving it four stars and stating that it “certainly feels like an accurate reflection of who she is as an artist – and a person – in 2023.”
In an intriguing turn of events, an album of potential Miley Cyrus demos was discovered on streaming platforms under the name Clara Pierce last month. The album, titled “Down With Me,” featured tracks reminiscent of various unreleased Cyrus songs but was promptly removed from all major streaming sites. Some fans speculate that “Down With Me” could be another impressive AI-generated music project, similar to the “lost” Oasis album “AISIS.”
