Miley Cyrus's hotly-anticipated new album Something Beautiful debuts on charts all around the world this week. The set brings the pop superstar back to the highest reaches of rankings in dozens of countries, as her fanbase showed up in droves to support the full-length. In the United Kingdom, the collection seems to have made a particularly strong impression, especially when it comes to those followers who love to not only listen, but buy.
Something Beautiful earns Cyrus another No. 1 in that country — several of them, actually — as it leads multiple rankings at the same time.
Something Beautiful launches on five charts in the U.K., kicking off its time at No. 1 on two of them. The latest full-length from Cyrus opens atop both the Official Albums Sales and Official Album Downloads charts, and it's clear that pure purchases largely powered the multi-genre effort to success.
As the set arrives, Cyrus doubles her total count of No. 1s on the Official Albums Sales chart. She only reached the peak position for the first time under her name in 2023 with Endless Summer Vacation, her most recent project before Something Beautiful. The singer has now scored a trio of leaders on the Official Album Downloads list, as Bangerz also joined in on the fun during its run.
Something Beautiful came very close to reaching No. 1 on two other tallies, but just barely missed out on the summit. The set starts in the runner-up space on the Official Vinyl Albums chart and comes in at No. 3 on the main list of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs throughout the U.K.
Somewhat surprisingly, Something Beautiful underperforms when it comes to streaming activity. Despite her largely younger fan base – the demographic that loves streaming sites – Cyrus launches her title on the Official Albums Streaming chart at No. 39, just barely sneaking into the top 40 region. The numbers show that sales played a huge role in the project's placement on the Official Albums chart, which blends both streams and purchases.
