When Miley Cyrus released her new album Something Beautiful on May 30, there was quite a lot of excitement surrounding the title. The pop star was still riding high off the incredible success of her previous full-length Endless Summer Vacation and its lead single "Flowers." That track earned the singer her first several Grammys and became not just a smash, but perhaps the biggest win in her catalog.
None of the tunes pushed from Something Beautiful have become even top 40 successes on the Hot 100 in the United States, but despite that, there was still plenty of buzz surrounding the full-length. Once Something Beautiful got off to a fair start, it quickly became clear that interest in the project was waning. Now, less than a month after its release, the project has disappeared from every ranking in the country.
Miley Cyrus Falls Off the Billboard 200
Just three tracking weeks into its lifespan, Something Beautiful has completely vanished from all Billboard charts. The set initially debuted inside the top 10 on multiple tallies, including the Billboard 200, Top Album Sales, and Vinyl Albums lists. Less than a month later, it's no longer generating enough pure purchases, not is it being consumed in large enough numbers, to appear on any ranking.
Something Beautiful Lasted Just Two Weeks
Something Beautiful launched on the Billboard 200 at No. 4. The set shifted 44,000 units during its first tracking frame. While a top five opening is always worthy of applause, that relatively low sum was cause for concern.
Such thoughts were validated just days later when, in its second frame on the Billboard 200 — the all-encompassing ranking of the most consumed albums in the country — the project dipped nearly 100 spaces. Something Beautiful plunged from No. 4 to No. 102. It held there for several days, but now, after Billboard refreshed its rankings once again, Cyrus's latest effort can no longer be found.
Miley Cyrus Beats Her Own Unfortunate Record
Something Beautiful now stands as Cyrus's shortest-charting title on the Billboard 200. Before its arrival, that distinction was held by Hannah Montana: Hits Remixed. While that 2008 project only peaked at No. 103, it managed to remain on the list for five frames.
To put Something Beautiful's short tenure into further perspective, Endless Summer Vacation, which arrived in March 2023, racked up 59 stays on the Billboard 200 — even though it only peaked one slot higher.
