}} ''Hannah Montana'' is the soundtrack album for the first season of the television series ''Hannah Montana'', released on October 24, 2006 by Walt Disney Records. The program itself premiered through the Disney Channel on March 24, 2006; after becoming an immediate commercial success, production on its soundtrack began the following month. Eight of its thirteen tracks are performed by the series' primary actress Miley Cyrus, and are credited to her titular character Hannah Montana. The groups The Click Five, Everlife, B5, and recording artist Jesse McCartney each contribute one recording, while a duet between Cyrus and her father Billy Ray Cyrus is included as the final track. The soundtrack is primarily a teen pop record, which sees additional influences from pop rock and country pop musical styles. The lyrical themes revolve largely around "girl power", teen romance, and the double life that Cyrus' character lives on the program. ''Hannah Montana'' received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who appreciated its overall production. It debuted at number one on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 with first-week sales of 286,000 copies. In doing so, it became Cyrus' first number-one album, the first television soundtrack to reach the peak position on the chart, and the fourth soundtrack from The Walt Disney Company to debut in the top-ten of the chart. The record has since been certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having exceeded shipments of three million copies in the United States. The soundtrack charted moderately on international record charts, having reached the top-twenty in countries including Austria, Canada, Norway, and Spain. The series' theme song "The Best of Both Worlds" was released as the only single from ''Hannah Montana'' on March 28, 2006. It reached number 92 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. ''Hannah Montana'' was reissued as a two-disc special edition on March 20, 2007. It spawned the additional single "Nobody's Perfect", taken from the series' second season, and peaked at number 27 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The soundtrack was further promoted during the The Cheetah Girls' Party's Just Begun Tour, for which Cyrus served as an opening act, and her own Best of Both Worlds Tour. ==Background and composition== During production of the first season of ''Hannah Montana'', Cyrus commented that at the moment, they were focused on improving the series as much as possible, however recording a soundtrack for it was a plausible plan for the future. The series itself premiered through the Disney Channel on March 24, 2006, and became an immediate commercial success; with 5.4 million viewers, the pilot episode earned the channel the highest ratings in its history at the time. The following month, it was reported that an accompanying soundtrack and Cyrus' debut studio album had both begun production, the first of which was scheduled to be released during fall 2006. These plans were expected to capitalize on promotional efforts previously used for Hilary Duff, who had successfully transitioned from the titular character on the television series ''Lizzie McGuire'' into a career in the music industry in the early 2000s. In the series, Cyrus portrays the character Miley Stewart, a teenager who lives the secret double life as the pop star Hannah Montana. She stated that "most songs for the first season reflect the show, with Miley or Hannah making sure the other doesn't get caught or whatever," opining that the tracks provided series producers with the opportunity to "make sure that everyone understood the characters". By comparison, Cyrus described later material used by the series as "more speaking out to the fans." The record incorporates elements of teen pop, pop rock, and country pop musical styles. Cyrus performs eight of its thirteen tracks, which are credited to Hannah Montana. Her songs "The Best of Both Worlds" and "This Is the Life" describe the double life that Cyrus' character maintains, while "If We Were a Movie" and "I Got Nerve" respectively address a romantic desire and "girl power". "Pop Princess" by The Click Five was described by Heather Phares from AllMusic as "sparkly power pop"; she also characterized "Finder Yourself in You" by Everlife as "the template for Hannah's rock-edged pop". The soundtrack closes the country pop duet "I Learned From You" between Cyrus and her father Billy Ray Cyrus, which Phares felt drew influences from recording artist Vanessa Carlton.〔 The soundtrack was later reissued as a two-disc special edition, which saw the inclusion of the track "Nobody's Perfect",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hannah Montana: 2-Disc Special Edition Soundtrack (Tracks, Soundtrack, Special Edition ) )〕 which was later featured on the following soundtrack ''Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus'' (2007). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hannah Montana (soundtrack)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
