Miley Cyrus Returns to No. 1 With First Chart-Topping Album in a Decade

The victory follows a razor-thin margin in a competitive week for the charts. Ella Langley’s Dandelion trailed closely at No. 2 with nearly 61,000 units, while Riley Green’s That’s Just Me debuted at No. 3 with 60,000 units. Cyrus, who has maintained significant momentum since her 2023 hit Flowers, described the new project as a layered love story that reflects a period of internal peace. According to the artist, this record captures a sense of self-love that has remained consistent across her latest three musical eras.

To mark the release, Cyrus announced a return to live performance with two shows at the Hollywood Bowl scheduled for October 2026. These appearances, her first solo dates since 2022, may signal the start of a residency as she experiments with the idea of bringing fans to her rather than touring extensively. Reflecting on the achievement via Instagram, the singer credited her team at Atlantic and her long-term supporters for the project’s success, noting that the creative process provided some of the most memorable moments of her career. The album’s release also coincides with her public decision to drop her last name, a change her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, recently characterized as fitting for an iconic performer.
