Miley Cyrus’ Flowers on track to break the record for the 100 million fastest streams on Spotify?

Miley Cyrus came back with everything and this is not just a phrase. The 30-year-old artist comes from hosting a New Year’s special with the great Dolly Parton and numerous stars who took the stage to celebrate the beginning of a 2023 that will bring great things for her. This January 16 the native of Tennessee released a new single that is sweeping all the charts. “Flowers,” apparently dedicated to her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, is the first cut from her upcoming album “Endless Summer Vacation” due out March 10 and is already a hit. The song debuted at #3 on Spotify’s Top Global and two days later climbed to #1, dethroning Shakira’s BZRP Session. Since that day it remains at the top of the world having achieved in its sixth day a peak of 17.38 million streams on that platform. Now, that’s not the only place it’s breaking it all: Apple has it #1 in its US and global rankings, while iTunes also has it at its top. On YouTube it reached Trends #2 in its output, a number that equaled on the streaming platform Pandora, in a list where consumers “like” new releases and according to how many it adds, it is climbing positions. But that’s not all, because according to the Twitter account @chartdata – which gathers and shares data on the international music industry – “Flowers” is on track to break the record for the 100 million fastest streams achieved on Spotify. At the time of publishing this note, the song gathered 83.5 M reproductions on the green circle platform. So far, the record is held by “Driver’s Licence” by Olivia Rodrigo, which reached 100 M in 8 days. We will have to see when the day ends today how the numbers are.
