How Big a Deal Is Miley Cyrus’ ‘Bass Persuades’ Scoring Her First No. 1 Album Since 2013?
This week's Five Burning Questions looks at Cyrus' first album on her new label becoming her first Billboard 200-topper in over a decade.
Miley Cyrus achieved a significant milestone earlier this year by debuting her new album Bass Persuades at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking her first No. 1 album since Bangerz in 2013. The album's first week sales of 62,000 units surpass her previous best and signal strong demand for her music. While some critics consider this achievement a 7 out of 10, others argue it's a more impressive feat given the rapid release timeline of only 17 days between the album's announcement and its debut.
The title track from Bass Persuades remains the biggest hit from the album, landing at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Whether the album's impact will be sustained remains to be seen, but Cyrus' return to the top spot after a 13-year hiatus is undoubtedly a major achievement.
