SAO PAULO, BRAZIL - MARCH 26: Miley Cyrus performs live on stage during day two of Lollapalooza ... [+]
Miley Cyrus continues to enjoy tremendous success with her hit single "Flowers," which has maintained a strong presence on the Billboard charts months after its initial release. The singer-songwriter has undoubtedly achieved a massive victory, with the American audience showing no signs of growing tired of the song.
This week, "Flowers" holds its position at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart, which ranks the tunes that reach the largest audience at radio in the United States. The track's reign atop this fiercely competitive tally has now extended to an impressive 16 weeks. Billboard points out that this achievement places "Flowers" among the longest-running No. 1 hits in the history of the chart.
"Flowers" is now tied as the third-longest-running No. 1 song on the Radio Songs chart. With its sixteenth week at the top, Cyrus surpasses Adele's "Easy on Me." Both tracks had been on equal footing with 15 weeks each, but Cyrus has now forged ahead while Adele's most recent chart-topper remains steady.
Cyrus finds herself in the company of three other major hit singles, as all four tracks share the distinction of spending 16 weeks at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart. Alongside Cyrus are Maroon 5 and Cardi B's "Girls Like You," Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together," and No Doubt's "Don't Speak."
While "Flowers" has achieved remarkable success, there are two tracks that have spent even more time reigning over the Radio Songs chart. Leading the pack is The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights," which holds a significant lead with an impressive 26-week run at No. 1 a few years ago. Sitting in second place are the Goo Goo Dolls, with their pop-rock anthem "Iris" having enjoyed 18 weeks at the chart's summit in the late '90s.
Considering the continued popularity and airplay "Flowers" is receiving across the United States, it has the potential to surpass Maroon 5 and Cardi B, Carey, and No Doubt in just a matter of days. The song shows no signs of descending from its peak position on the Radio Songs chart, further solidifying its status as a historic and bona fide hit.
