Miley Cyrus at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26, 2026. Frank Micelotta/FOX/Getty Images Miley’s 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, finds the singer topping the Billboard 200 for the first time in more than a decade. It debuts with 61,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States, the week ending Sept. 24, according to Luminate as Billboard reports.
Bass Persuades is her sixth album to top the albums chart, and the first to hit Number One since 2013’s Bangerz. In all, she’s had 16 Top 10 albums comprising her work as Miley Cyrus (she’s now working under the mononym Miley), and her soundtrack releases as Disney character Hannah Montana.
Bass Persuades arrived on Sept. 18, preceded by its title track on Sept. 3. The song bowed at Number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album is the follow-up to Something Beautiful, which peaked at Number Four on the June 14, 2025 albums chart.
Of the 61,000 units earned, 47,000 of them are made up of Bass Persuades’ albums sales; and streaming equivalent albums (SEA) comprise 14,000, which equates to 14.22 million on-demand official streams of the LP’s songs. The album’s opening week was boosted by sales across 16 vinyl variants, with one including a bonus track; nine CD versions, with one also having a bonus track; six download variants with bonus offerings; and a cassette.
