Miley Cyrus has only recently started talking about the next chapter of her career. The singer gave an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, where she shared that her forthcoming project, tentatively titled Something Beautiful, takes its inspiration from Pink Floyd’s The Wall. While the world waits to hear how her classic rock effort takes shape—and what exactly that sounds like coming from someone like her—the tune that revamped her career not long ago is back in fine form.
“Flowers” is present on two charts in the United Kingdom this week. The single isn’t just holding on, as some might expect for a pop tune that was released nearly two years ago, but it’s doing better than that. The smash isn’t just barely keeping its footing—it’s actually growing.
The globe-dominating smash returns to the top 40 on the Official Singles Sales chart. Cyrus pushes her tune from No. 43 to No. 39. That’s not a huge gain, but it’s not every day that a pop cut released months prior becomes a top 40 win all over again.
“Flowers” is also still living inside the top 40 on the only other chart it takes root on in the U.K. at the moment. Cyrus lifts from No. 38 to No. 32 on the Official Singles Downloads ranking, which looks only at the bestselling legally downloaded tunes in the country.
In the past, “Flowers” has hit No. 1 on both of those charts. It’s also reached the summit on several other rankings in the U.K., as it turned out to be Cyrus’ biggest success in many respects—which is saying a lot, considering the fact that she has reigned as one of the top names in pop music for well over a decade.
Cyrus released “Flowers” in January 2023. The cut was immediately welcomed as a return to superstardom, as many of the singer’s more recent projects had somewhat underperformed. The song shot to No. 1 on rankings all around the world, including in the U.K., where it then stayed for 10 weeks in a row.
The tune preceded her album Endless Summer Vacation, which also became a worldwide win, based largely on the popularity of “Flowers” at the time. The full-length debuted at No. 1 on the U.K.’s albums chart, where it became her first new leader in a decade in that country.
