NEW YORK (WPIX)—
It's a tumble from grace no one saw coming, especially pop superstar Miley Cyrus.

In a recent online, the very people who helped Cyrus soar to super stardom voted the 16-year-old Hannah Montana star this year's worst celebrity influence.

Cyrus received 42% of the votes on an AOL poll featured on the internet service's "Just So You Know" website, which supposedly targets teenagers and tweens. Nearly 50,000 young girls weighed in on the poll.

Pop Star Britney Spears - who is no stranger to the headlines - came in second place, while rapper Kanye West was placed at number three.

There were no specific reasons given as to why the Disney star's popularity plummeted. However, it was suggested that her Vanity Fair topless photoshoot, her alleged 'racist pose' in a picture and her recent pole dancing at the Teen Choice Awards may have factored in.

In addition, Cyrus came in fourth in the category of favorite female artist, finishing behind Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Beyonce.
