Miley Cyrus Beats Her Own Record As Her New Album Disappears
Miley Cyrus's Something Beautiful vanishes from the Billboard 200 after only two weeks on the tally, ... More despite the fact that it debuted at No. 4. PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 18: (Exclusive Coverage) Miley Cyrus performs during Miley Cyrus Billions Club Series Paris at Maxim's on June 18, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo byfor Spotify) 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.

Miley Cyrus has made a 'pop opera' film to accompany her 9th album, Something Beautiful
Miley Cyrus has one of the best voices in contemporary pop. And in 2023, she showed it off with signature, inescapable hit 'Flowers', a break-up survival anthem perfectly suited to her voice's lived-in smokiness. What: Miley Cyrus's "pop opera" visual album for her excellent ninth release. Starring: Miley Cyrus Directed by: Miley Cyrus, Jacob Bixenham, Brendan Walter Where: In cinemas June 27, one night only Likely to make you feel: Like the term "pop opera" is a stretch But the reason for that wonderful texture and grit is also why the former Disney star isn't taking a victory lap tour of her 9th album, Something Beautiful, released this June to some of the most glowing reviews of her career. The 32-year-old has Reinke's edema, a swelling of her vocal cords that has given her a large polyp, producing the gritty texture to her voice. Surgery could ruin her voice entirely. As she recently told Apple Music interviewer Zane Lowe, the condition most affects performing, making it "like running a marathon with ankle weights on", which is why her last global tour was more than a decade ago. Instead of touring, Cyrus has created a cinema-exclusive (for now) "pop opera" and visual album for Something Beautiful, screening for one night only across Australia this Friday. She describes the hour-long film as a conceptual album about healing, telling Harper's Bazaar it was like Pink Floyd's The Wall "but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous, and filled with pop culture". A large-scale statement like a visual album offers an interesting artistic opportunity for Cyrus, a fascinating figure who hasn't necessarily found a creative through line to match her natural charisma, perhaps more concerned with wrestling off her Disney star beginnings as Hannah Montana. Fifteen years on from hanging up Hannah's golden wig, Cyrus has certainly created distance, most pointedly with the boisterous, hyper-sexual R&B rebellion of 2013's Bangerz, which generated plenty of controversy. In recent years, she's largely settled on a series of more mature pop albums tinged with different genres, including country (2017's Younger Now), glam rock (2020's Plastic Hearts) and light synth-pop (2023's Endless Summer Vacation). Sonically, Something Beautiful is a coalescence of those recent albums — a mixture of prog-rock, soul, jazz, disco and R&B united by a grand air and a timeless feel, with lots of belting and big, cinematic sounds. It's everything a pop album should offer, with break-up ballads ('More To Lose'), love songs ('End of the World'), empowerment anthems ('Walk of Fame') and campy disco diva moments ('Every Girl You've Ever Loved', featuring spoken word from Naomi Campbell). The healing concept doesn't exactly come through the music, though — unlike Lady Gaga's similarly themed 2020 album Chromatica, there's no clear lyrical through line or leitmotifs. This has led fans — and critics — to assume that the visuals, arriving weeks after the album, would tie things together. Unfortunately, there's next to no narrative to Something Beautiful, an hour-long set of music videos that neither hone nor expand the album's world in the way that "visual album" has come to signify after Beyoncé changed the game with that digital drop. Directed by Cyrus with longtime collaborators Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter, the film starts strong but sidesteps much depth. Running through the album in order, it opens with a series of ethereal shots set to Prelude, where Cyrus approximates Laurie Anderson's spoken word ("Arching to be seen/Aching to become real") over glitching synths. We see a flower twisting, shadows and smoke, close-ups of Cyrus's body enclosed in crystal strands like a spider web as she wears the archival Thierry Mugler look from the album cover. Eerie, creepy, interesting. It leads into the title track music video already available online, where Cyrus performs with a band on a smoky sound stage while in a custom feathery green snood by Mugler. Any sense of old-school, jazzy glamour is disrupted by the dual explosion of set lights and prog-rock in its chorus. The premise of pristine beauty is muddied in favour of something grittier, more dangerous by these videos — an idea quickly abandoned. Instead, for most of Something Beautiful, we see Cyrus strut, lip-sync and play showgirl on various sound stages, donning extravagant archival looks by Mugler, as well as Bob Mackie and Jean Paul Gaultier. Halfway-point track 'Easy Lover' sees Cyrus walk through the Paramount lot between sets in a tracking shot, highlighting the artificiality of what we see as she moves from make-up to an elaborate set with dancers, always performing for us. There's a charm to sitting with these songs and letting them wash over us, but Something Beautiful lacks the imagination to add much beyond pretty visuals, seeming more like the interstitial videos between numbers at a concert than a stand-in for a concert itself. While that might be expecting too much, the film debuted at Tribeca and is being touted as a cinematic event, but the closest Something Beautiful gets to The Wall is a creative block. It's a missed opportunity, whether limited by budget constraints or a lack of imagination. Compare it to Jennifer Lopez's completely over-the-top visual album from last year, This Is Me: Now… A Love Story, which was self-funded for $US20 million. A meta-narrative about Lopez and Ben Affleck's tumultuous love affair, it's also a convoluted sci-fi narrative featuring endless celebrity cameos and a steampunk heart factory at risk of explosion. Cyrus didn't need to go full Lopez (nor should she), but at least This Is Me was ambitious, guided by a frenetic sense that Lopez needed to express whatever that film was. Without that drive, Something Beautiful lacks energy: even if it is visually beautiful, anyone but devout fans will find themselves wishing for something more. Miley Cyrus: Something Beautiful is in cinemas for one night only on Friday June 27.

"Yeah... that's not a good look," said another. "Shame on Miley. She looks so disinterested, and I mean, I'm sure artists dislike doing stuff like this because it's work, but your fans are the ones who put you in this position to even be recording and signing albums."

Miley Cyrus fires back after claims of being 'dismissive' towards fans
Miley Cyrus appears to have fired back after claims of being "dismissive" towards fans. The 32-year-old pop star joined supermodel Naomi Campbell for a special vinyl album signing event for her new record Something Beautiful — which features Naomi on the track Every Girl You've Ever Loved — in London over the weekend. A video from the event at record store Rough Trade East shows the two stars chatting amongst themselves behind a table. In the footage, fans can be seen approaching the table from the other side and awkwardly posing for a photo as Miley briefly glances up, smiles and then continues her conversation as they sign the LPs. A fan on Reddit branded Miley "so inconsiderate and dismissive", while others called her "rude". On Tuesday (June 24), the Flowers hitmaker seemed to address the backlash as she shared a professional photo of herself and Naomi at the event, as well as several videos of them smiling and interacting with fans. She wrote on Instagram: "Our vinyl was originally set to drop a week later, but since we were both in London @roughtradeeast made it happen day of. "I wanted to gift my Smilers an exclusive experience and unreleased vinyl to thank you for the love you've shown me in the UK over the years. I saw so many familiar faces and met some sweet new ones. "The record store requested no photos due to the unexpected last minute turn out but we knew the night needed to be captured. "Thank you @vijatm for snapping those in the moment shots. To everyone who came out to celebrate our single, we love you." [embed] Miley recently hit out at the criticism she received earlier in her career when she shunned her Disney Channel persona for a more raunchy image. Asked what she sees when she looks back at her image from 2013, she told the New York Times newspaper: "I see adults not acting like it. I would never look at someone that's 18, 19, 20, 21 years old and judge them as an adult, because they're not yet. "At one point, there was even a petition. It was like 'Millions of Moms Against Miley' or something. "Isn't that crazy, this petition? In 2013, maybe that performance felt really shocking, but when you watch it back, it really wasn't that wild. I was dressed as a teddy bear." [[nid:719375]]
