How far down the Billboard 200 did Miley Cyrus‘ “Bass Persuades” album fall in its second week? Curiosity about that grew over the last few days, particularly as Billboard announced the top 10 of its album chart on Sunday, and Cyrus’ album was not in it, after having debuted at No. 1 the previous week. Now there’s an answer to that, as the full list has been revealed: “Bass Persuades” plummeted to No. 157.

And yes, that’s a record.
