Miley Cyrus’s Brand New Song Can’t Beat Her Years-Old Smash

Just days before her new album Something Beautiful arrives, Miley Cyrus delivered what appears to be the final promotional tune from the project: “More to Lose.” Dropped with enough time to reach the Billboard charts before fans rush to buy and stream the full-length, the ballad sadly didn’t perform very well via any major metric. One statistic, in particular, underlines just how lackluster a debut it has been forced to settle for.

“More to Lose” Hits the Global Charts

“More to Lose” launches on the Billboard Global 200 this week at No. 168. The track doesn’t manage to land on the accompanying list, the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which is unusual, given the typical overlap between the two tallies.

Miley Cyrus on the Billboard Global 200

Cyrus fills two spaces on the Billboard Global 200 this week, and “More to Lose” isn’t the higher-ranking of the pair. Its predecessor, “End of the World” — the lead single from Something Beautiful — isn’t beating it either. Instead, “Flowers,” the first taste of Cyrus’s previous album Endless Summer Vacation, is winning at the moment. That blockbuster steps up three spaces on the Billboard Global 200 to No. 146 and performs even better on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., where it surges to No. 135.

“Flowers” is Miley Cyrus’s Biggest Win

It’s rather shocking that “Flowers” is outperforming all of Cyrus’s new music around the world. Not only does it beat “More to Lose” in what will likely be that track’s biggest frame on the tally, but it does so 122 weeks into its time on the Billboard Global 200. “End of the World,” which received the bulk of the promotion might behind Cyrus this time around, peaked at No. 43 on the ranking, just missing out on the top 40. It then disappeared after just four stays on the list.

“More to Lose” on the Billboard Charts

“More to Lose” doesn’t fare much better when it comes to U.S.-focused charts. It only manages to appear on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, coming in at No. 5 on that ranking, which looks at the biggest hits in the U.S. that couldn’t quite make it to the main Hot 100.

“End of the World,” meanwhile, may be reaching its zenith on the pop radio rankings. It keeps at its all-time high on both the Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary charts while stepping up one spot to a new peak on the Adult Pop Airplay roster.
