Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” has quickly established itself as 2023’s most dominant hit so far: Its first two weeks of release were also the two biggest streaming weeks for a song in Spotify history, including one week that was the first time a song ever crossed 100 million plays in a tracking week. This has translated to Billboard chart success, too: Last week, “Flowers” became Cyrus’ first song to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 (and her second chart-topper overall). Now, it’s hanging onto the throne: On the new Hot 100 dated February 4, “Flowers” is No. 1 for a second straight/total week.
