Miley Cyrus Signs with Atlantic Records, Ending Columbia Era

Miley Cyrus confirmed that she has left Columbia Records and signed a new recording contract with Atlantic Records. The announcement was made in the July 27 issue of *Wonderland* magazine, which Cyrus guest-edited. The move ends a five-year partnership with Columbia that began after she joined Sony Music’s roster in 2021.

Cyrus’s relationship with Sony Music spans more than a decade. She first signed with RCA Records in 2013, releasing the genre-shifting album Bangerz that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. After a series of releases—including *Plastic Hearts* (2020) and the Columbia-era albums Endless Summer Vacation (2023) and Something Beautiful (2025)—she achieved her biggest commercial hit with the single “Flowers,” which earned her a Grammy Award in 2024.
