It’s been about a month since Miley Cyrus dropped her latest single “Flowers” and she’s still making waves with this song. “Flowers” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth time this week, surpassing “Wrecking Ball” to become Cyrus’ longest-running No. 1 single in the US.

“Flowers” triumphantly returned to the top spot during its latest week on the chart, defeating SZA’s “Kill Bill” at No. 2 and Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” at No. 3. This time around, it drew 74.5 million radio airplay audience impressions, 38.7 million streams, and sold 26,000 copies.

This marks the fourth week atop the Hot 100 for “Flowers”, which means it passed the three-week reign of “Wrecking Ball” to become the singer’s longest-running No. 1 hit in the US. Cyrus also reached the top five with “The Climb”, “Party in the U.S.A.”, and “We Can’t Stop”.

“Flowers” has been described as the girl power anthem and the singer’s love letter to herself and it created a lot of buzz following its release on January 12. It set several major Spotify records in its wake, becoming the fastest song to cross 100 million plays on this platform.

“Flowers” serves as the lead single from Cyrus’ upcoming studio album Endless Summer Vacation, which is hitting the shelves on March 10.
