Miley Cyrus unleashed her seventh studio album this week, after months of fan-anticipation.

Originally configured as a three-part EP (see: ‘She Is…’ series), the singer scrapped that idea in favor of a more definitive body of work.

Having navigated many sounds over the course of her career, Cyrus says she set out to anchor her artistic proposition this go round.

Led by singles such as ‘Midnight Sky’ and the Dua Lipa assisted ‘Prisoner,’ all eyes are on the LP’s commercial performance.

The answer is here, because the first-week sales forecast is in.
