Miley Cyrus claims her longest-running UK Number 1 with Flowers

Call it photosynthesis – Miley Cyrus’s Flowers have bloomed for a second week at Number 1 in the UK. 

The post-disco bop has clearly found its groove, with Flowers out-performing itself week-on-week, pulling in chart units in excess of 121,000. This includes over 13 million streams, making it the most-streamed track in the country for a second week running.  

Flowers now holds the distinction of becoming Miley’s longest-running UK Number 1 single. Her previous chart-toppers We Can’t Stop and Wrecking Ball, both released in 2013, peaked at the summit for one week apiece.

Speaking exclusively to OfficialCharts.com, Headie One says: "It's a good feeling [to be this week's highest new entry], especially when it's real, authentic music."
