Miley Cyrus’ song ‘Flowers’ has set a new record as the fastest song to reach a billion streams on Spotify.
The track was released on January 12 as the lead single to her album ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ and went on to become the longest-running UK number one single for a female artist since Adele’s ‘Easy On Me’ in 2021.
It also spent eight nonconsecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the most-streamed song on Spotify for two consecutive weeks.
On May 4, ‘Flowers’ broke a billion listens on the platform, making it the fastest song to reach the milestone in Spotify’s history. Miley Cyrus thanked her fans for the achievement and added that ‘Flowers’ is the second song of hers to join the “billions club” after her 2009 hit ‘Party In The U.S.A.’.
In a review of ‘Endless Summer Vacation’, NME gave the album four stars, saying that it “certainly feels like an accurate reflection of who [Miley Cyrus] is as an artist – and a person – in 2023”. The album reflects Cyrus’ evolving perspective on relationships and her musical style.
