Miley Cyrus Poised To 'Smash' Onto The Charts With "Wrecking Ball"

Miley Cyrus, despite her massive following of tweens, has yet to find herself atop the Billboard Hot 100 charts. That fact seems like it's got no choice but to change with the buzz she and her team have been able to create around her single "Wrecking Ball". The song is the second single off her album Bangerz, and set a record on Vevo upon its' release last week on September 9th; within just 24 hours, the video had 19.3 million plays. 8 days later, as of the time I'm writing this to you (around 7:30 PM EST on 09/17) the video has over 116 million streams on Vevo alone. Who knows what that play count would look like if it included an aggregate of everywhere the song is available for streaming.

So what's the video causing all this hoopla?






Well one thing is clear; Miley is trying to desperately to breakaway from whatever semblances of Disney Star she had left associated with her name. Parents will continue to be outraged as their teenage daughters challenge what have become the norms of fashion and lifestyle choices in-general. Is this reinvention of Miley 'right'? Or perhaps it's simply just too immoral for some. One thing is for sure though...she's got a lot of people interested. And maybe..just maybe...that has something to do with all of this.

If you're going to be in Vegas by any change this Friday, we've still got some tickets left to go see her, The Wanted and Jason DeRulo http://bit.ly/1gvxNGN .
