Miley Cyrus Maintains Lead Over 'Flowers', SZA's 'Kill Bill' Notches #2 Despite Flourishing 'SOS'

Miley Cyrus has solidified her song "Flowers," atop the Billboard Hot 100 charts for the second week. The song is the lead single for his upcoming new album, "Endless Summer Vacation."

Cyrus made its incredible debut at the summit last week after the song was blasted all throughout social media. It sent fans and netizens alike into a rabbit hole after a theory spread like a wildfire connecting it to Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man."

The tune was said to have been a direct answer to Mars' song, which was believed to be dedicated by Liam Hemsworth to her former wife, Cyrus. The two infamously divorced in 2020.

Netizens fell into a rabbit hole, linking the two tracks together. Fans have also pointed out the "revenge" theme of the song, even noting that the song was released on Hemsworth's birthday, January 13. Whether it was coincidental on Cyrus' part, the whole rollout was phenomenal.

It broke Spotify's record of the biggest streamed track in one week. "Flowers," the first song from her upcoming album, "Endless Summer Vacation," is Miley's first project from her new music label, Columbia.

Luminate reports that the track has racked up almost 60 million streams and more than 40 million radio airplay impressions, with 65,000 units sold on its second tracking week.

In a celebratory post, Cyrus has been "endlessly thankful" for making the track the No. 1 song in the world again for another week.

"Celebrating 'Flowers' being #1 around the world again this week. I love that this record is connecting in such a positive way & it's a pleasure to continue creating music for you. These milestones are only made possible by the listeners & my incredible fans. Endlessly thankful," she said in a Twitter post along with photos of her dancing.

Meanwhile, SZA's "SOS," has notched another week at the No. 2 spot. The track peaked at the same spot after debuting at No. 3 in December 2022. The song still tops the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts for seven consecutive weeks.

Despite the song not reaching No. 1 yet, its album, "SOS," has made huge strides on the album's chart. It has already equaled Whitney Houston as "SOS" became the first album by a female R&B artist since the icon's "Whitney" in 1987 to have spent seven weeks atop the charts.
