A2 Media: Star Profile

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus became an sensation overnight in 2006 as the lead of the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, but as the years went on, she established herself as a pop star on her own. Miley was cast in the title role of Hannah Montana and after debuting in March 2006, Hannah Montana became a success with young viewers and led to the release of a soundtrack CD in October, featuring Miley singing eight songs from the show along with five related tracks.

A reissue of the Hannah Montana album followed in March 2007, not long after the show's theme song, "The Best of Both Worlds" was released as a single. That fall, Cyrus embarked on the Best of Both Worlds tour, which stretched into early 2008 and was edited into The Best of Both Worlds Concert film, which was released that spring. By then, Cyrus was busy recording Breakout, her first full-fledged album as herself.

Breakout arrived in summer 2008. It topped the Billboard charts and quickly went platinum, paving the way for an even more successful year in 2009. Hannah Montana The Movie was released that March and peaked at number one, while the soundtrack's lead single a country-pop ballad called "The Climb" became one of the year's most omnipresent songs, giving Miley her first multi-

platinum hit. A short album, The Time of Our Lives, arrived several months later and another hit was released called "Party in the U.S.A" which charted inside the Billboard Top Ten for 16 weeks. Miley Cyrus performed the song on the "Wonder World Tour," her first international tour, and also found time to film another movie, The Last Song, which hit theaters in 2010. With acting assuming such a large role in her life, Cyrus announced her decision to take a hiatus from music but not before the release of her third album, Can't Be Tamed, which appeared that summer.

After making a number of television appearances and appearing in the films LOL and So Undercover, Cyrus decided to return to music, choosing to go in a more grown-up direction by enlisting a number of popular rap producers, including Pharrell Williams. The resulting effort, entitled Bangerz, combined crunky beats with synth pop, electro, and stadium rock tropes. Released in October 2013, it was promoted by Cyrus with a controversial performance at the MTV VMAs, which seemed to get the whole world talking about her.
