Miley Cyrus has been teasing the next chapter of her music career with mentions of possible album titles and sonic directions. She even stated that she wants the project, which will be visual in nature, to be similar to Pink Floyd’s The Wall, though in exactly what way is yet to be seen.

As the world waits for her highly-anticipated studio effort—and possible film—the smash that’s led to this new era being so exciting is still overperforming. “Flowers” doesn’t only appear on a Billboard chart; it’s nearly in first place, and this frame is special for the smash that reinvigorated interest in her work.

Cyrus’ single hits 100 weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart this frame. It’s exceedingly rare for any tune to rack up triple-digit stays on any of Billboard’s lists, but it’s even more uncommon on a radio roster, where turnover is often high.

“Flowers” is far and away Cyrus’ longest-running hit on the list of the most successful tunes at Adult Contemporary stations throughout the U.S. It nearly doubles the 51 stays that “The Climb” managed starting in March 2009, and it will almost certainly do so in the coming frames.

The smash is months ahead of every other tune on the Adult Contemporary chart at the moment. The second-longest-running win is “Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift, which is now up to 78 turns on the tally. Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down” trails that electronic pop cut by two frames.

“Flowers” holds the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the AC radio roster. It spent 57 stints atop the chart, easily passing the 36 that “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5, the runner-up for this honor, managed half a decade ago.

At the moment, “Flowers” doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere. The song currently holds at No. 2 on the Adult Contemporary chart, behind only “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims. That smash, which helped the crooner earn his first Grammy nomination, is the seventh-longest-leading No. 1 ever, with 23 stays inside the penthouse.
