Miley Cyrus Album to Debut at #1 on Billboard

Miley Cyrus BreakoutBillboard reports that Miley's new album Breakout will debut at #1 on the Billboart charts.
Miley Cyrus lands her second No. 1 album on The Billboard 200 as "Breakout" (Hollywood) bows with 371,000 U.S. copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's the second-biggest sales week of the year for a female artist, following the 463,000 debut of Mariah Carey's "E=MC2" (Island).

Cyrus' last album, the half soundtrack, half studio set "Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus" (Hollywood/Walt Disney), started at No. 1 last summer with 326,000.

The first "Hannah Montana" soundtrack, which launched her recording career, also bowed at No. 1 in 2006, with first-week sales of 281,000. It went on to be the best seller of that year's fourth quarter with less than three months of shelf life.

Debuting in the runner-up slot on The Billboard 200 is country duo Sugarland with the deluxe version of "Love on the Inside" (314,000). It's easily the Mercury Nashville act's best sales week and highest charting album ever. The band's previous high came with 2006's "Enjoy the Ride," which debuted and peaked at No. 4 with 211,000.
As her solo career takes off Miley is overshadowing the rockstar alter-ego she plays on the popular Disney tv show. ShoppingBlog.com reports that Miley Cyrus could be about ready to move on from the show although Disney says Miley will film a fourth season of Hannah Montana. They are starting filming on the third season now.
