Miley Cyrus has tweaked her way to the top.

According to MTV, the 21-year-old attention seeker had a better 2013 than Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Lady Gaga and Beyonce. The network named her as its best artist of the year.

This week, MTV announced that Miley’s VMA duet of “We Can’t Stop” and “Blurred Lines” was the most-watched video on its website, and her song “Wrecking Ball” and album Bangerz performed equally as well on the charts.
