Miley Cyrus Headed for First Hot 100 No. 1 With 'Wrecking Ball'

 

It looks like Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" is about to smash its way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Thanks to expected enormous streaming totals for the song's video, early indications are that it should dethrone Katy Perry's "Roar," which leads the list for a second week this week.

If "Ball" blasts to the summit, Cyrus would collect her first Hot 100 No. 1. She's reached No. 2 with 2009's "Party in the U.S.A." and her previous single, "We Can't Stop."

 According to data provided by YouTube, "Ball" boasts 15.5 million U.S. YouTube views over its first two days since the clip premiered on Monday (Sept. 9). Projected over seven days, the streams for the song and video could total a whopping 30 to 45 million in the U.S., a figure that would count toward next week's Hot 100.

Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball' director has checkered past

 

Miley Cyrus is getting a lot of flack for her new video, but the director she worked with on the raunchy music video has his own controversial past.
Terry Richardson, who produced her nude “Wrecking Ball” video, came under fire back in 2010 amid accusations that he acted inappropriately with young models, prompting them to take their clothes off in his presence.
In March 2010, Jamie Peck, a model-turned-writer who once posed for Richardson, spoke to FOX411 about her experience with the famed photog.
Peck was 19 years old and not a professional model when she went on a shoot with Richardson six years ago. She said she had no idea what to expect from the photographer, who shoots for Vogue and Harpers Bazaar and commercial clients Jimmy Choo, Sisley and Gucci. Richardson has also photographed stars like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Jessica Alba.
“I went over there the first time and it was pretty normal and I posed nude for him, no big deal," said Peck. "The second time he felt like I was a little more comfortable and he asked me to do some gross stuff. Like he wanted to play with my tampon, and then he convinced me to touch his penis, and I did, and I really still am not sure why I agreed to do that. Part of it was everybody in the room was so stoked, like it was the most natural thing in the world."
