Miley Cyrus is on top of the world with her smash track Flowers.
Over a year after its release, the blockbuster song continues to break records and win many Grammys. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry just named it the world’s best-selling song.
Flowers was named the Global Single Award winner for 2023 by IFPI, the organization that represents the recorded music business throughout the world.
According to its website, the award is given to “the artist with the world’s best-selling single of the year across all digital formats – including paid subscription streaming, ad-supported platforms, and single-track downloads.”
The smash breakup song, which was released in January 2023, received 2.7 billion streams on paid streaming services, according to the London-based company.
IFPI’s director remarked, “Topping the charts in so many countries simultaneously, the song – along with its message of empowerment – resonated across the world and is the definition of a truly global hit.”
The new milestone comes just a few weeks after the 31-year-old pop icon won her first two Grammy Awards, for Flowers – Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.
Following its release, the music was added to Spotify’s “Billions Club,” making it the fastest song to surpass 1 billion streams in Spotify history.
