About the Song:

“Flowers” became the biggest hit of Miley Cyrus’s career. It was her second time to ascend to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, following “Wrecking Ball” a decade earlier. When she first topped the charts, she was 21 years old but already a veteran of the music industry. She starred in the Disney TV series Hannah Montana from 2006 to 2011, playing a pop star who maintains a secret identity as a more normal person.

In the real world, she started collecting hits under the “Hannah Montana” banner but then launched her career as Miley Cyrus, achieving success with “Party in the U.S.A.” (#2, 2009), “The Climb” (#4, 2009), and eventually the #1 hit “Wrecking Ball” in 2013. As of this writing, 2023’s “Flowers” was her tenth of eleven top-10 hits.

“Flowers,” the lead single from her eight studio album Endless Summer Vacation, topped the charts in 38 countries WK and became the fastest song in Spotify history to reach one billion streams (112 days). WK It has been nominated for Grammys for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.

The lyrics follow the protaganist’s efforts after a breakup to celebrate her independence and realize she is responsible for her own happiness. They make reference to her real-life relationship with actor Liam Hemsworth, who she married in 2018 and divorced in 2020. The song interpolates the melody from Gloria Gaynor’s 1978 women’s empowerment anthem “I Will Survive” WK and adapts some of the lyrics from Bruno Mars’ 2013 chart-topper “When I Was Your Man.” SF

Consequence.com’s Mary Siroky said “Flowers” sounds like “if the hazy, peaceful California tone of ‘Malibu’ were to be applied to a dance pop track.” WK The Guardian’s Alexis Petridis compared the song’s “shimmering electric guitar and understated yacht-rock mood” to Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 classic album Rumours.

USA: #1 Pop Songs, 1920-1929

USA’s #1 Pop Songs:

1920-1929

These are the #1 pop songs on the United States pop charts from 1920 to 1929. Songs could have hit #1 on either of these charts:

The date indicates the song’s first appearance at #1, regardless of which chart it was. The act associated with the song is then listed. The Gardner book does not indicate specific artists, so the artists identified here are those which also hit #1 on another chart, are the highest-ranked version according to Dave’s Music Database, or are spotlighted as the top version by Gardner.

Then come the letter codes indicating which charts the song topped. The number following that is the number of weeks at #1. The Gardner charts are monthly and not weekly so the #of weeks has been adjusted by multiplying the song’s number of months at #1 by 4. Meanwhile the Sharon Mawer charts are bi-weekly (dated the first and fifteenth of the month) so to reflect a more accurate depiction of how many weeks the song spent at #1, the original # was doubled.

Shania Twain: Top 40 Songs

Shania Twain

Top 40 Songs

Country singer Shania Twain was born Eileen Regina Edwards on August 28, 1965, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Her self-titled debut album in 1993 went nowhere, peaking at #67 on the country chart and not even making the pop chart.

However, her sophomore album, 1995’s The Woman in Me, sold 20 million copies worldwide, making it one of the top 100 albums of all time. Her next album, 1997’s Come on Over, sold twice that number, putting it in the top ten of all time. When her next album, 2002’s Up!, was certified for eleven million, it made her the only female artist in history to have three consecutive albums certified diamond by the Recording Industry Assocation of America (RIAA).

It would be fifteen years before she released another album, 2017’s Now. It was her fifth #1 country album. During her hiatus, she dealt with Lyme disease and dysphonia as well as a 2010 divorce with Mutt Lange, who had produced her trio of ten-million-selling albums. 2023 marked the release of her sixth studio release, Queen of Me.
