Miley's Bass Persuades went from No. 1 to No. 157 in a week, and Billboard's own debut breakdown points to why.
- 47,000 of its 61,000 first-week units were album sales, 77 percent, spread across 32 editions.
- First-week streams fell 36 percent from her last album, 14.22 million against 22.18 million.
- Riley Green, at No. 3, drew more than twice her streams.
- Variety calls it the steepest second-week fall for an album that debuted at No. 1, not the biggest fall from No. 1 ever.
None of this breaks the rules, and streams are not the whole story: her last album fell the same way with more of them, and Variety also points to the lack of a hit single.
