Just as Katy Perry was getting comfortable at the top of the Billboard charts, in swoops a naked Miley Cyrus to take over. The 20-year-old singer's new release"Wrecking Ball" is on tap to nab the No. 1 spot on next week's Hot 100 chart, potentially knocking Perry's "Roar" off its throne after two weeks.
The prediction comes from Billboard, which will release the updated Hot 100 on Wednesday. The win arrives largely thanks to the record-shattering views for "Wrecking Ball." The video premiered Monday and became the most-viewed Vevo clip within 24 hours, trumping the record previously held by One Direction. Those views, which have since risen to more than 85 million and will be factored into Billboard's calculations for the most popular song, will likely help to provide Cyrus with her first No. 1 single.
