Pesma „Used To Be Young“ ima potencijal da naglasi kako je Sajrus i dalje u stanju da konstantno bude na vrhu top lista i dominira radio-talasima / Her new song, Used To Be Young, has the potential to emphasise that this singer remains capable of consistently topping the charts and dominating the airwaves

Majli Sajrus vraca svoju moc na listama / Miley Cyrus reclaims her chart- topping power

Majli Sajrus je oduše- vila novim singlom „Used To Be Young“ pokazujuci da je, uprkos nekim nedavnim singlo- vima koji nisu prošli sjajno, u sta- nju da brzo povrati status opro- banog hitmejkera. Muzičarka nominovana za „Gremi“ započela je 2023. godi- nu velikim praskom, obeležavaju- ci jedno od najznačajnijih poglav- lja u svojoj legendarnoj karijeri. Superzvezda je počela godinu singlom „Flowers“, koji je od- mah postao hit. Pesma je debi- tovala kao broj 1 na „Hot 100“ i zadržala neprikosnoveni status na takmičarskom nivou skoro dva meseca. Majlina oda singl statusu prvo je raspalila društvene mre- že, jer Tiktok voli nered i dramu. Nakon objavljivanja pesme i soč- nog muzičkog spota početkom januara, fanovi su se okupili na platformama društvenih mreža da analiziraju tekst i fotografiju, u pokušaju da otkriju sve poruke upućene bivšem mužu, glumcu Lijamu Hemsvortu. Mada je cela fama oko slatke osvetničke dra- me prošla, pesma je ostala jedan od najvećih hitova ove godine. „Flowers“ je poslužio kao najava za „Endless Summer Va- cation“, koji je stigao sredinom marta. Sam album je dostigao vr- hunac trećim mestom na listi „Bi- lbord 200“, nešto niže nego što su neki očekivali s obzirom na ogroman uspeh hita „Flowers“. Međutim, iako je zadržao dobar status na vrhu liste, dva sledeca singla „River“ i „Jaged“ izdvoje- na sa albuma nisu postigla isti nivo uspeha. Ipak, „Flowers“ je nastavio da nadmašuje novije sin- glove sa „Endless Summer Vaca- tion“, i do danas održava svoju poziciju u vrhu.

Miley Cyrus made a late summer splash with the release of her new single Used To Be Young, demonstrating that, despite some re- cent underperforming singles, she’s capable of swiftly regaining her sta- tus as a tried-and-tested hitmaker. The Grammy-nominated mu- sician began 2023 with a bang, marking one of the most remark- able chapters in her storied career. The superstar started the year with the single Flowers, which became an immediate smash hit. The tune de- buted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, on- ly to maintain its reign at the top of this chart for nearly two months. Representing her ode to singlehood, Flowers first grabbed the attention of the public because TikTok loves mess and drama. Following the re- lease of the song and juicy music video in early January, fans flocked to the social media platform to an- alyse the lyrics and imagery in or- der to unearth all the Easter eggs about the pop star’s ex-husband, ac- tor Liam Hemsworth. Despite all the hype around this sweet revenge dra- ma having abated, the song remains among the biggest hits of the year. Flowers served as a preview to the album Endless Summer Vacation, which was released in mid-March and entered the charts and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, which was slightly below expectations given the massive success of Flowers. Howev- er, while the album came close to achieving chart-topping status, the two subsequent singles released from the full-length album – River and Jaded – didn’t manage to achieve the same level of success. Amazing- ly, Flowers has continued to outper- form the more recently released sin- gles from Endless Summer Vacation to this day, maintaining its position at the top.
