For better, or for worse, and everything in between, 2023 was a year for the record books.

While her album ‘Plastic Hearts’ was well received critically it failed to produce any major hits or much staying power on the charts.

But her album flopped
“Flowers” will be the biggest song of 2023 in two more weeks! 🙂 Huge names like Taylor Swift nor Adele have had a song that sold more. Nicki Minaj could never! She will easily join Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston as the only females to have a song in the Top 20 of all time. Billie Eilish was the last female to get close!
Get it Miley! 🙂
Her “comeback” came and went
