[edit] Album re-release
In April 2007 Miley hinted to “CosmoGirl” Magazine that she may be re-releasing the “Hannah Montana” album with a more mature feel. She stated that she was recording some tracks that she had wrote herself and was hoping for them to be included in a special edition version of the record.
Disney executives have yet to comment on this subject but a possible cover design has already begun to circulate: [3]
[edit] Sales and chart positions
[edit] Album
The soundtrack debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 281,000 copies in its first week and beating out such artists as John Legend and My Chemical Romance's album The Black Parade.[2] and the album held its ground in its second week, remaining at the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 with 203,000 copies sold, slightly more than the debut of music legend Barry Manilow's album The Greatest Songs of the Sixties.[3] In its third week on the chart, it fell to number five with 131,000 copies sold,[4] and stayed at fifth for its fourth week.[5] It then fell to seventh in week five, although sales increased 47% in the same week, with 167,000 copies sold.[6] The album rose to number two in its sixth week, but sales decreased by 6% this week, with 157,000 copies sold.[7] That same week, it broke one million sales. In the seventh week, it fell to number four, although it again increased in sales by 47%, with 243,000 copies sold;[8] it was also certified double platinum. In its eighth week, it moved up to number three on the chart and sold 274,000 copies.[9] In week nine, it again rose to number two with strong sales of 349,000 copies;[10] this may be because of the increase in sales during the holidays. After Christmas, in its tenth week, the album fell sharply to number 10 and sold 78,000 copies.[11] In the album's eleventh week on the chart, sales declined, with 46,000 copies sold, but the album nevertheless rose on the chart to number six.[12]
The album was the first TV soundtrack to debut on the chart at number one, and the first from a TV series in 20 years to hold the number one position (another Disney TV soundtrack, the High School Musical soundtrack, reached number one earlier in 2006, but it was from a TV movie rather than a series).[13] In December 2006, the album was certified Double Platinum. The album went Gold in the UK in just 4 weeks.
