The pop star just released her fourth album, Bangerz,which is slated to sell 250,000 copies in its first week, giving her the #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. It'll outsell her last album, Can't Be Tamed, almost doubling its first-week sales.
However, it hasn't all been about the music this year for the "Miley: The Movement" star. She's shocked and wowed us with her revealing interviews, wacky dancing and her quirky style. With every headline, she's created a lasting conversation among critics and fans, which is why MTV News has rounded up six things that Miley made mainstream in the past months.
Twerking has been around for more than 20 years — and has even been referenced in Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" and Beyoncé's "Check on It" — but it wasn't until Miley threw on a onesie and posted a video of herself twerking to J. Dash's "Wop" back in March that the booty-shaking moves started flooding pop culture.
That video was just a warm-up for what was in store, Miley then went on to show off her twerk skills at a Juicy J concert. She worked it out in the "We Can't Stop" video and, of course, she twerked up on Robin Thicke during the 2013 Video Music Awards. As a result of the dance move becoming such a phenomenon this year, the term "twerk" was added to the latest edition of Oxford Dictionaries Online
