BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Walt Disney Records celebrates Hannah Montana's overwhelming popularity with the March 20, 2007 release of the Hannah Montana 2-Disc Special Edition Soundtrack. Building on the success of the double-platinum Hannah Montana Soundtrack, the CD + DVD package includes the complete original soundtrack to the smash hit Disney Channel Original Series Hannah Montana – including the show's theme song "The Best of Both Worlds" and fan favorites "If We Were a Movie" and "I Got Nerve." The disc also features the brand-new bonus track "Nobody's Perfect" performed by Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana. The video DVD includes 30 minutes of never-before-seen Hannah Montana Backstage Secrets plus a live concert performance of "Nobody's Perfect." The Hannah Montana 2-Disc Special Edition Soundtrack also includes four collectible, signed snapshots of Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana, plus a certificate for a free "This Is the Life" ringtone.
In November 2006, the original Hannah Montana Soundtrack became the first-ever TV soundtrack to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and went on to become the #8 best-selling album of the year (according to Nielsen SoundScan). The R.I.A.A. certified the soundtrack double platinum less than two months after its release. Additionally, Miley Cyrus (performing as Hannah Montana) rocked venues across the country last fall as the opening act for the first 20 sold-out dates of The Cheetah Girls' "The Party's Just Begun" tour, one the most successful concert tours of 2006. On March 4, 2007, Miley (again performing in character) headlined the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at Reliant Stadium where her event debut led to the highest paid attendance record in the rodeo's 75-year history, with an audience of more than 73,200 people.
The Hannah Montana series is seen on Disney Channels all over the world and on DisneyChannel.com via streaming broadband video. In 2006, it was the #1 series on basic cable in the U.S. among Kids 6-11 and Tweens and, across all television, was second only to American Idol in those key youth demographics. It also is seen Saturday mornings on the ABC Television Network's "ABC Kids" programming block.
The Hannah Montana 2-Disc Special Edition Soundtrack is available March 20, 2007 for a suggested retail price of $24.98 wherever music is sold. All Walt Disney Records audio products also can be ordered by visiting DisneyRecords.com |
