}} ''Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus'' is a double album released on June 26, 2007 by Walt Disney Records and Hollywood Records. The first disc serves as the soundtrack album for the second season of the television series ''Hannah Montana'', while the second disc serves as the debut studio album by its primary actress Miley Cyrus. All twenty tracks are performed by Cyrus, although the first disc is credited to her titular character Hannah Montana. In the vein of the original soundtrack ''Hannah Montana'' (2006), ''Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus'' is primarily a teen pop record, which sees additional influences from pop rock 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 2: Meet Miley Cyrus'' received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards its overall production and questioned Cyrus' ability to establish a career separate from the series. It debuted at number one on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 with first-week sales of 325,000 copies, and has since been certified quadruple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for exceeding shipments of four million units. The album charted moderately on national record charts throughout Europe and Oceania, appearing in the top-twenty in several countries. It received a multi-platinum certification in Canada, single-platinum certifications in Australia and Sweden, and gold certifications in Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom. "Nobody's Perfect" was released as the only single from ''Hannah Montana 2'' on May 15, 2007. The track peaked at number 27 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. "See You Again" was later released as the lead single from ''Meet Miley Cyrus''. It reached number 10 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming Cyrus' first single to enter the top ten on the chart. Its follow-up single "Start All Over" peaked at number 68 in the United States. The soundtrack was further promoted with Cyrus' headlining Best of Both Worlds Tour. ==Background and composition== During production of the first season of ''Hannah Montana'', Cyrus commented that "right now we're just all really focused on making ''Hannah Montana'' the show as good as it can be, but hopefully in the future there may be a ''Hannah Montana'' soundtrack () a Miley Cyrus album." 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 latter of which was scheduled to be released in early 2007. The first soundtrack ''Hannah Montana'' (2006) debuted at number one with first-week sales of 286,000 copies, becoming the first television soundtrack to debut in the peak position of the chart. 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 material used during the second season as "more speaking out to the fans." Heather Phares from AllMusic recognized elements of teen pop and synthpop on the first disc, following in the vein of the original soundtrack. The second disc integrates similar musical styles, although Phares described Cyrus' vocals on her personal tracks as being "lower and throatier" with "more organic and rock-oriented" instrumentation. Throughout the record, Kathi Kamen Goldmark from Common Sense Media noted the inclusion of "positive, self-empowering messages for tween girls". ''Hannah Montana 2'' continued to discuss Cyrus' double life on the program, notably in the tracks "Rock Star" and "Old Blue Jeans". Friendships are addressed during "Right Here", "You and Me Together", and "True Friend". The songs "Nobody's Perfect", "Make Some Noise", and "Life's What You Make It" discuss maintaining an optimistic outlook in life. ''Meet Miley Cyrus'' explored "more serious objects" including teen romances. Its closing track "I Miss You" is a dedication to Cyrus' late grandfather.〔 ''Hannah Montana 2'' was later reissued as a two-disc special edition subtitled the ''Rock Star Edition''. It included a remix of the track "We Got the Party" with the Jonas Brothers, an acoustic version of "One in a Million", and a DVD of live performances. ''Meet Miley Cyrus'' was omitted from the re-released pressings.〔 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 2: Meet Miley Cyrus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
