Overnight popularity wasn't a new thing for the Cyrus family; Miley's father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, went from obscurity to stardom in a few short months in 1992, when "Achy Breaky Heart" became a crossover hit. The success of "Achy Breaky Heart" was hardly the only memorable event for Billy Ray that year, though, as he and his wife welcomed their daughter Destiny Hope Cyrus into the world on November 23, 1992. Destiny's cheerful disposition as a child earned her the nickname Smiley, which stuck when it was shortened to Miley. Miley's career as a professional actress began in 2003, when she appeared alongside her father in an episode of the television series Doc. The same year, she landed a small role in the Tim Burton film Big Fish. The budding actress had also developed an interest in writing songs and learning how to sing, and in 2005, she landed a role that allowed her to put her skills in acting and music to work. Miley was cast in the title role of Hannah Montana, in which she played a teenage girl leading a double life: by day, she's Miley Stewart, an ordinary kid dealing with school, friends, siblings, and all the other foibles of life for a 14-year-old, while at night she dons a wig and becomes Hannah Montana, a multi-platinum pop star whose career is guided by her dad, songwriter Robby Stewart. Miley's friends don't know she's also Hannah, however, and keeping this a secret is no simple matter. After debuting in March 2006, Hannah Montana became an immediate success with young viewers and led to the release of a soundtrack CD in October, featuring Miley singing eight songs from the show along with five related tracks (including a duet with her father, Billy Ray, on "I Learned from You"). That fall, Miley hit the road as the opening act for another Disney-spawned pop act, the Cheetah Girls. A reissue of the Hannah Montana album followed in March 2007, not long after the show's theme song, "The Best of Both Worlds," was released as a single. A second Hannah Montana record, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus, was released in summer 2007. That fall, Cyrus embarked on the Best of Both Worlds tour, which stretched into early 2008 and was edited into The Best of Both Worlds Concert film, which was released that spring. By then, Cyrus was busy recording Breakout, her first full-fledged album as herself, as well as shooting Hannah Montana: The Movie, which was slated for release the following year. Breakout arrived in summer 2008. It topped the Billboard charts and quickly went platinum, paving the way for an even more successful year in 2009. Hannah Montana: The Movie was released that March and peaked at number one, while the soundtrack's lead single — a country-pop ballad called "The Climb" — became one of the year's most omnipresent songs, giving Miley her first multi-platinum hit. A short album, The Time of Our Lives, arrived several months later and yielded another hit with "Party in the U.S.A.," which charted inside the Billboard Top Ten for 16 weeks. Cyrus performed the song on the "Wonder World Tour," her first international tour, and also found time to film another movie, The Last Song, which hit theaters in 2010. With acting assuming such a large role in her life, Cyrus announced her decision to take a hiatus from music — but not before the release of her third album, Can't Be Tamed, which appeared that summer. ~ Mark Deming & Andrew Leahey, Rovi / iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2007 43 The Best Of Both Worlds (as Hannah Montana) -OST- 2008 11 See You Again -1- 2008 25 7 Things -1- 2009 16 Fly On The Wall -2- 2009 11 The Climb -OST- 2009 18 Hoedown Throwdown -OST- 2009 11 Party In The U.S.A. -1- 2010 13 Can't Be Tamed -2- 2013 34 Fall Down (will.i.am Feat.

November 17, 201312 yr If Miley sings 'Wrecking Ball' tonight, expect this to be back in the top 10 next week.
November 17, 201312 yr You find this more tolerable than 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now?' Admittedly Meat Loaf's version is better, but still, it's a belter song. pDxoj-tDDIU I haven't heard the Celine version of this as far as I know, but I dislike the Meat Loaf version anyway so I doubt Celine would make it any better. 'The Call (No Need To Say Goodbye)' could have been worse. But still, will have a graciously short chart run hopefully.
November 17, 201312 yr This part of the chart has been an tortuous ordeal on the ears! : :mansoncheer: :nono:
November 17, 201312 yr "Wrecking Ball" to die please. I'm so sick of it it's not even funny. Edited November 17, 201312 yr by mathboy9
November 17, 201312 yr I haven't heard the Celine version of this as far as I know, but I dislike the Meat Loaf version anyway so I doubt Celine would make it any better. Lea Michele version >>>>>> both IMO.
November 17, 201312 yr 11 (from 6) OneRepublic - Counting Stars [D] http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N2PxHFr4L._AA160_.jpg Chart Run: 43-30-20-17-13-2-4-3-1-3-1-3-5-6-11 [15 wks] Release Date: 22-03-2013 Format: download only track Label: polydor associated labels Sales: 500k+ Video here: hT_nvWreIhg Biography Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic rose to prominence in 2007, when "Apologize" began its reign as the most popular digital download in American history. Although the song proved to be a quick success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist/cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher to the lineup in the process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003; three years later, however, the bandmates returned from a performance at Coachella to find themselves dropped from Columbia's roster. Nevertheless, OneRepublic's popularity continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the group's profile by penning songs for artists like Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder had already worked for several years) took notice of the group's audience and signed OneRepublic to his own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the group's most promising tracks, "Apologize," and included it on his own album, 2007's Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum-selling single in many countries, breaking airplay records in the U.K. and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in America alone. Later that year, OneRepublic stepped out on their own with Dreaming Out Loud, a debut album filled with piano-fueled songwriting and pop/rock melodies. The album quickly went gold, and "Apologize" continued to top the singles charts in multiple countries. Another Tedder-penned track, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," experienced similar success at the same time, thus making Tedder one of the year's most celebrated songwriters. OneRepublic began writing songs for a second album in 2008, and the group later decamped to Colorado Springs to avoid outside distractions. Although initially planned for a summer release, Waking Up wasn't completed until September 2009. "All the Right Moves," the album's lead single, was released to radio that same month, while the entire album followed in November. In 2013, OneRepublic returned with its third studio album, Native, featuring the singles, "Feel Again" and "If I Lose Myself."

November 17, 201312 yr I haven't heard the Celine version of this as far as I know, but I dislike the Meat Loaf version anyway so I doubt Celine would make it any better. 'The Call (No Need To Say Goodbye)' could have been worse. But still, will have a graciously short chart run hopefully. Celine Dion's version is by far the best. I hope she hangs on to top 40 next week
November 17, 201312 yr The Celine Dion song is surprisingly good - must be the Sia influence. The Call is quite good for a charity single, surprised it made it so high though.
November 17, 201312 yr (26) Keane-Somewhere Only We Know Big fan of the band, but I'm more of a fan of their second album. then their first.
November 17, 201312 yr The Call is quite good for a charity single, surprised it made it so high though. I agree, I thought charity singles were going downhill after 'I Know Him So Well' but then recent ones like He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother & Ellie's new one have proven popular.

November 17, 201312 yr 10 Robbie Williams - Go Gentle [D] http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music/v4/ef/62/3c/ef623ce7-53a9-aa1f-9d4e-49a4932f84d0/13UAEIM00304.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 10 [1 wk] Release date: 10-11-2013 Format: download only single Label: Universal-Island Records Video here: o3OWZaIpEDk Biography Robert Peter "Robbie" Williams (born 13 February 1974) is an English singer-songwriter, and occasional actor. He is a member of the pop group Take That, but has found greater commercial success as a solo artist. Williams rose to fame in the band's first run in the early- to mid-1990s. After many disagreements with the management and group members, Williams left the group in 1995 to launch a hugely successful solo career, which saw his first seven albums each reach number one in the UK. Williams also released seven number-one singles and found similar success across Europe. On 15 July 2010, it was announced he had rejoined Take That. The group's subsequent album became the second fastest-selling album in UK chart history and the fastest-selling record of the century so far. He continues to perform both as a member of Take That and as a solo artist. Williams has sold over 70 million records worldwide, which ranks him among the best-selling music artists worldwide. He is the best-selling British solo artist in the United Kingdom and the best selling non-Latino artist in Latin America. Six of his albums are among the top 100 biggest-selling albums in the United Kingdom, and in 2006 he entered the Guinness Book of World Records for selling 1.6 million tickets of his Close Encounters Tour in a single day. He has also been honoured with seventeen BRIT Awards—more than any other artist—and seven ECHO Awards. In 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame after being voted as the "Greatest Artist of the 1990s." Williams is married to actress Ayda Field. He has a net worth of £105.2 million. - Wikipedia Chart history (Year peak title): 1996 02 Freedom -NAS- 1997 02 Old Before I Die -1- 1997 08 Lazy Days -2- 1997 14 South Of The Border -3- 1997 04 Angels -4- MILLION SELLER 1998 03 Let Me Entertain You -5- 1998 01 Millennium -1- 1998 04 No Regrets/Antmusic -2- 1999 04 Strong -3- 1999 01 She's The One/It's Only Us -4- 2000 01 Rock DJ -1- 2000 02 Kids (Robbie Williams And Kylie Minogue) -2- 2000 04 Supreme -3- 2001 10 Let Love Be Your Energy -4- 2001 01 Eternity/The Road To Mandalay -5- 2001 01 Somethin' Stupid (Robbie Williams And Nicole Kidman) -1- 2002 09 My Culture (1 Giant Leap Feat.

November 17, 201312 yr Oh yay for the top 10 for Robbie, this is only my first time listening to the studio version but it'd be annoying to just miss out and I've liked a lot of his previous stuff.
November 17, 201312 yr Yay Robbie still having relevance! I like this, not as good as Candy but I never expected him to top that.
