Miley Cyrus Says Madonna ‘Was Down' to Mud Wrestle in a ‘4×4' Music Video, But Her Label Said No
In an alternate universe, Miley Cyrus' iconic Bangerz era would've been made complete with a wild music video starring Madonna, Nelly and more superstars popping wheelies and wrestling in the mud. Unfortunately, we do not live in that universe. In an interview on the Every Single Album podcast posted Thursday (June 5), the 'Flowers' singer revealed that she had been dead set on rounding up a star-studded group of friends to shoot a raucous visual for '4×4,' a song on her smash-hit 2013 album that ultimately never became a single. 'I had everyone already lined up,' Cyrus said. 'Nelly … Madonna was down to do the video, Miranda Cosgrove.' More from Billboard Miley Cyrus' 'Something Beautiful' Album: All 13 Tracks Ranked The Weeknd Wanders Through Purgatory in 'Baptized in Fear' Music Video Belinda's 'Indómita' Album & More Best New Music Latin 'This was before Taylor [Swift] had a lot of famous people in her crew,' she continued, laughing. 'I was friends with famous people first. I wanted to do that. I had a f–king squad, and my squad was very, very cool.' Cyrus claimed the idea was eventually shut down by RCA, her label at the time, whom she quipped didn't want her 'talking about a pit bull [and] piss' in a song they'd be promoting. 'Madonna was down to mud wrestle with Miranda Kerr,' the Grammy winner reminisced wistfully. 'I was like, 'I'm gonna get all these girls, all these supermodels, all these Victoria's Secret models and all of these pop icons to come to my dad's farm, get in the back of 4x4s, and we're gonna mud wrestle, and we're gonna go out and do doughnuts.' Despite the lack of a '4×4' visual, Bangerz remains one of Cyrus' most successful albums to date. The LP debuted atop the Billboard 200 and spawned her first-ever No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, 'Wrecking Ball,' which was followed closely by 'We Can't Stop' at No. 2. The 'Party in the U.S.A.' artist was signed to RCA for a three-album run, later dropping Younger Now in 2017 and Plastic Hearts in 2020 under the Sony Music imprint. In 2021, she inked a new deal with Columbia Records, through which she just released new album Something Beautiful on May 30. Later in the podcast episode, Cyrus recalled another time where she and her former label weren't quite on the same page. According to her, she never would've put a certain fellow pop star on 'Prisoner,' one of the singles on Plastic Hearts. 'No shade to Dua Lipa, it just isn't cohesive with the album,' Cyrus said frankly. 'She would've been much better on something like [2023 LP] Endless Summer Vacation,' the singer continued of Dua Lipa. 'She would've been great on 'Wildcard,' she would've been great on any of them — 'River,' can you imagine?' Cyrus added that she thought her team at RCA wasn't entirely confident in how Plastic Hearts would perform, so they brought in some 'medicinal Dua' to give the LP some commercial oomph. 'They basically were like, 'Oh, great, here's this piece of s–t album she gave us, let's spray a little Dua Lipa on there,'' Cyrus said, laughing.

The Funeral Portrait goes 2-for-2 atop Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, lifting to No. 1 on the June 14-dated survey with 'Holy Water.'

Moody reaches No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay as a solo act for the first time, having exceeded his No. 10 peak as a featured vocalist on Cory Marks' 'Outlaws & Outsiders,' alongside Travis Tritt and Mick Mars, in 2020. Five Finger Death Punch, with him as frontman, boasts 15 leaders, third-most dating to the ranking's March 1981 inception. Concurrently, 'Holy Water' places at No. 11 on the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart with 2.5 million audience impressions, up 8%, in the week ending June 5, according to Luminate. The song reached a No. 8 high a week earlier and marks The Funeral Portrait's first top 10 on the tally, having passed the No. 11 best of 'Suffocate City.' 'Holy Water' is the second single from The Funeral Portrait's 2024 album Greetings From Suffocate City. Released in September, the set has earned 25,000 equivalent album units to date. The collection is the second full-length from the group, which formed in Atlanta more than a decade ago. All Billboard charts dated June 14 will update Tuesday, June 10.

Miley Cyrus Pays Homage to Madonna With Her Latest Vintage Flex
Two-and-a-half years before Miley Cyrus was born, Madonna was in the throes of her Blond Ambition tour, hitting the stage around the world in the now-iconic Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra. Now, 35 years later, Cyrus is celebrating the release of her latest album, Something Beautiful, in Madge's image. Last night, Cyrus wore a chocolate brown dress from Gaultier's fall 1990 collection. Like Madonna's Blond Ambition look, it featured the same lace-up corsetry throughout the front, sides, and along the hips—though the embroidered cups on Cyrus's dress were far less exaggerated than Madonna's poke-an-eye-out bust. And while Madge wore her corset with fishnets and a pair of panties, Cyrus's look featured a midi-length fringe skirt. Styled by Bradley Kenneth, she paired the piece of prized vintage with a pair of pointy-toe pumps secured with an ankle strap.

The duo shared the stage in 2014 during Cyrus's special for MTV's Unplugged, where they performed a mash-up of Madonna's 'Don't Tell Me' and Cyrus's 'We Can't Stop.' In 2022, Cyrus covered 'Like a Prayer.' While Miley Cyrus has worn no shortage of major vintage surrounding her Something Beautiful release–from Mugler to Roberto Cavalli—this Jean Paul Gaultier isn't only a major flex, but an homage to the pop stars who came before her.
