Along with becoming the fastest song to reach a billion streams on Spotify, ‘Flowers’ was also number one on Billboard’s Hot 11 chart for eight nonconsecuitve weeks.
It was also on the Billboard Global 200 chart for 12 weeks, as well as the Global Exclusive US tally for 13 weeks. The song also became the most streamed song in a week for two weeks in a row.
Fans have speculated that ‘Flowers’ is about Miley’s life since her split from actor Liam Hemsworth.
The song references Bruno Mars’ ‘When I Was Your Man’, which is alleged to be the song Liam dedicated to Miley while they were in a relationship.
Last month, fans were on alert after rumors emerged that Cyrus may have released an album under the name Clara Pierce.
The speculation began after fans discovered an album called ‘Down With Me’, which was released the same day as Cyrus’ latest album. Several of the tracks shared similarities to some of Miley’s unreleased songs.
The songs were quickly removed from major streaming sites, with some fans wondering if it was another AI-generated music project.
