MTV Declares Miley Cyrus Its Artist of the Year

(AP) NEW YORK–Here’s something to wag a tongue at: MTV says Miley Cyrus is the best artist of the year.

The former child star twerked her way to the top. Her eye-popping duet with Robin Thicke on the MTV Video Music Awards was one of the year’s most talked about cultural events.

MTV said Monday the VMA duet on “We Can’t Stop” and “Blurred Lines” was the year’s most watched video on MTV websites. Similarly, the MTV artist site devoted to Cyrus had more visits than any other artist’s.
