Miley Cyrus gets her Flowers as she debuts at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart

Miley Cyrus has truly been given her flowers, as she claims her third Official UK Number 1 single today.

Flowers debuts at the summit with some incredible stats. The lead single from her upcoming eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation, Flowers boasts 92,000 chart units, and total streams in excess of 9.9 million in its first seven days of release. This marks Miley’s biggest opening week on streaming ever, and the UK’s biggest first week overall since Harry Styles’ As It Was reached the top spot in May 2022.

Previously, Miley topped the Official Singles Chart with We Can’t Stop (2013) and Wrecking Ball (2013); the latter scoring her the rare Official Charts Double, simultaneously reaching Number 1 alongside parent album Bangerz. See Miley Cyrus’s Official Charts history in full here.
