Miley Reigns: Bass Persuades Tops Charts After Decade

Miley has achieved her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart in over a decade with the debut of Bass Persuades. The album launched atop the chart dated Oct. 3, earning 61,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the week ending Sept. 24.

This marks Miley's sixth chart-topping album and her 16th top 10 entry. She previously held the No. 1 position with Bangerz in October 2013. Bass Persuades' strong performance also includes significant album sales, bolstered by multiple vinyl and CD variants.

Other artists also saw success on the chart. Riley Green and beabadoobee earned their first top 10 entries with their respective new projects debuting in the top tier. Ella Langley's Dandelion remained strong at No. 2, while several former No. 1 albums from artists like Morgan Wallen and Olivia Rodrigo rounded out the top 10.

Miley's return to the top follows a significant gap, placing her alongside artists like Bruno Mars and A$AP Rocky who have also waited at least 10 years for their subsequent No. 1 albums. The Billboard 200 ranks albums based on multi-metric consumption, including sales, track equivalents, and streaming equivalents.
