Miley Cyrus Is Back At No. 1 After 13 Years With Her New Album Bass Persuades
Miley Cyrus has done it again. Her 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and it is her first chart-topping album in more than a decade. The last time she was at the top was in 2013 with Bangerz.
The album earned 61,000 equivalent album units in the US in the week ending 24 September, according to Luminate. Most of that came from pure album sales, around 47,000, while the rest came from streaming, which added up to about 14 million streams. This makes it her sixth No. 1 album, and her 16th top 10 album overall.
