There are a billion roses Miley Cyrus could buy for herself. The record for the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify was set by the pop star’s anthemic smash “Flowers” on Thursday, May 4. Taking to social media with the streaming service, the former Hannah Montana star thanked her fans and wrote, “Some Flowers never fade” beside a picture of herself with the words “Billions Club” superimposed over her head.
Many people wanted to express their happiness for their queen in the comments section of the post. In the words of one of your fans: “Miley you deserve this and more. Even after all this time, I’m pleased to see you’re still going strong. In a nod to Star Wars Day, another wished her luck by saying, “May the 4th be with her.” A third person demanded in all capital letters, “NOW WE NEED THE TOUR,” that the singer go on the road to promote her most recent studio album Endless Summer Vacation. A billion streams was reached by “Flowers” in a record 112 days after its release on January 12 as the lead single from Endless Summer Vacation. Since then, it has spent a total of eight weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts (though not consecutively), as well as 12 weeks atop the Billboard Global 200.
On its way to the Billions Club, the song has broken numerous records, including becoming the most-streamed song in a single week for two weeks in a row and achieving a rare hat trick by topping Billboard’s Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Adult Contemporary charts all at once.The happy announcement from Cyrus and Spotify can be seen down below.
