Miley Cyrus and Wal-Mart have set up a special Soundchcek feature that has Miley Cyrus answering questions from fans. You can see the interview here. Soundcheck is filmed inside Wal-Mart stores. It's definitely a cross-promotional deal - you've probably seen the back-to-school ads with Miley and Wal-Mart. Miley talks to a dedicated audience of young girls about her fame, embarrassing moments, musician's she's fans of and the best advice she's every gotten. Her advice to other kids that want to follow in Miley's footsteps: "Just Go For It." She also suggests having a supportive small group of friends. Here's a short video promo.
Billboard 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.
US Magazinesays Kate Perry is behind "this summer's sexiest song." That US said that is good news for Perry. It's seems to be true with the sexy, alternative music video accumulating large views on the top video sharing sites. You can see the music video for "I Kissed a Girl" here. US also found out who it is that Kate Perry wants to kiss - it's Miley Cyrus.
So who's her dream same sex smooch?
"Miley Cyrus!" she says in the latest issue of Steppin' Out magazine. "She's the lucky girl. It's cool to hear through the grapevine that Miley Cyrus has my song as her ring tone."
Perry, 23, will attend August's Teen Choice Awards, which Cyrus, 15, is hosting.
"Maybe we'll have another Britney-Madonna moment on stage," Perry joked. "How hilarious would that be? Although I don't think it would help her career. However, it would definitely help mine!"
Perry's too old for Miley we think - maybe she should name someone else. She has mentioned Scarlett Johansson in the past. Yes, she is much more Kate's age. Kate Perry should have stuck with Scarlett.
Here's the new music video from Miley Cyrus for her song "7 Things." 7 Things is featured on Miley's new album Breakout available in stores and on iTunes July 22, 2008.
Miley Cyrus and Mandy Jiroux have been playing around with YouTube. They have a channel here. We aren't sure what they are doing here but it's pretty silly. This act needs some work. The lengthy channel description explains why the videos are a little raw. Here's an excerpt.
The Miley and Mandy show began when Mandy who is a professional dancer began to teach me (Miley) a routine to Janet Jackson's, Feedback. Now Mandy has gone through a lot of dancing and performing training and well me... not so much! While Mandy taught me the dance steps we recorded ourselves so we could watch it back and remember the moves. As expected I was not so good and I began to fool around and goof off. Mandy joined me shortly after and as we were joking and having fun the camera never stopped rolling. Once we watched back the video we had made we realized that when we were just being ourselves it was much more entertaining than the dance we had put together! So, we decided to make a youtube account and load the video and see what the reaction. Not expecting the success that it has brought, the next morning we had thousands of views and over one million messages requesting more of The Miley and Mandy Show!
