Hannah Montana is the soundtrack for the Disney Channel original series Hannah Montana. It was released on October 24, 2006 by Walt Disney Records. The first eight songs on the album are sung by Miley Cyrus as her character Hannah Montana. There are also four songs by other artists, and another track, the last on the album, that is sung by Cyrus (out of her Hannah Montana character) and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. The soundtrack was the eighth best selling album of 2006 in the U.S., with nearly two million copies sold that year.[1] The album has sold 3.5 million copies in the U.S and over 4.5 million worldwide.

The album debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200,[2] where it remained for two weeks.[3] Eight songs from the album have charted on the Billboard Hot 100, including the theme song, "The Best of Both Worlds". Subsequently, a Holiday Edition and a two-disc Special Edition were released.

Holiday Edition

A holiday edition of the Hannah Montana Soundtrack was released to the iTunes Music Store on December 19 2006. This version includes all the songs from the original soundtrack plus a cover of the song, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", sung by Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana. This song was performed by Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana at the Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade in 2006 on Christmas Day 2006.

Special Edition

A 2-disc special edition of the soundtrack was released on March 20 2007. It was put in a holographic silver box including:

  • The original soundtrack
  • Bonus track: "Nobody's Perfect" from the season 2 soundtrack.
  • 4 autographed photos of Miley Cyrus
  • A code number to download a ringtone of "This Is the Life"
  • A DVD with a "Nobody's Perfect" music video, a special 30-minute long "Hannah Montana: Backstage Secrets," and a trailer for the new DVD, "Hannah Montana: Pop Star Profile" It should be noted that two of the episodes advertised on the trailer were not on the final DVD. These episodes would be "You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Zit Is About You" and "O Say Can You Remember the Words"
