Miley Cyrus: Movie soundtrack tops Billboard chart

Miley Cyrus: Movie soundtrack tops Billboard chart

There is good news for the fans of Miley Cyrus. In its fourth week on the Billboard 200, the "Hannah Montana: The Movie" soundtrack reached the top position for the first time on Wednesday, thereby becoming the third album from the Disney franchise in order to accomplish this feat.

To be specific, the soundtrack to the recent box office champ sold 133,000 copies during the week that ended on 19th April. Nielsen SoundScan has brought out this report.

This year "Hannah Montana: the Movie" is the first soundtrack to top the Billboard 200.  Last year, three did the trick and these are namely "Juno," "Mamma Mia!" and "Twilight." The first and second volumes of the TV show's soundtracks hit No. 1 in 2006 and 2007, respectively.

 Day26's "Forever In a Day," which sold 113,000 copies stood second in the chart. Day26's album is the second effort of  the made-on-MTV group thereby following its self-titled No. 1-debuting set from just more than a year. That album started with 190,000 on its way to a cumulative sum of 387,000 in U.S.

Last week's champ, country combo Rascal Flatts' "Unstoppable" slipped to third position with 107,000.

Los Angeles-based indie rock band Silversun Pickups scored the only other debut in the top 50 as "Swoon" arrived at No. 7 with a career-high sales week of 43,000. The group's first release, 2006's "Carnavas," peaked at No. 80, and its best sales week came in March 2007 when it sold nearly 10,000.

There are other entries in the top 10.  The "Twilight" soundtrack jumped four places to No. 4; the "Now 30" compilation hold No. 5; Jadakiss' "The Last Kiss" fell from No 3 to No. 6; Lady GaGa's "The Fame" rose from No. 2 to No. 8; Jason Aldean's "Wide Open" dropped from five to No. 9; and Taylor Swift's "Fearless" fell to No. 10.
