Would say this is a track that could have gone to 100 but stalled at 50. I just hadn’t heard anything like it before

Proud of us ngl

I mean, her "brand" was a country-fied teen confessional sound, but each huge Miley song on the charts has absolutely nothing to do with any other huge Miley song

Miley has such a bizarre career trajectory, as I'm sure you are well acquainted with. She never really did teen alt-rock confessional, or when she did it mostly wasn't her songs that were most popular

e.g. Miley Cyrus "The Climb" being way bigger on AC than Taylor Swift, Adele steamrolling, etc

it was an interesting shift, one that was more obvious when I did a 1998 survey. I think it's probably more like "FM inspirational --> alt-rock by women --> teenagers are the women doing the alt-rock." And what's really interesting is that the actual AC *charts* always tip toward inspo when possible

smart, do the hardest part first

"this is too much me even for me"

It's one where if I listen to both albums all the way through it might change my vote
