Miley Cyrus follows in Hilary Duff footsteps Can't Be Tamed falls from from #3 to #9

Yes, the show Hannah Montana had to have a blond to follow Lizzie McGuire, one of Disney's most popular television shows of all time. In 2003 the McGuire star, Hilary Duff, went platinum three times (nearly 4-million sold) with Metamorphosis. By 2007, Duff was down to gold, 500,000 units, with Dignity.

From 2007 on, everything Miley Cyrus touched turned to platinum, not gold. Number 1 albums almost consecutively. Then something happenes in late 2009. In 2007. you couldn't touch a sold out Miley Cyrus concert ticket for under $1,000. In 2009, she sold out few if any of her concerts. Her song with Timbaland did not reach the top 100. Her song with Bret Michaels did not chart. Now, Can't Be Tamed, one of at least two CDs she'll release this year, didn't hit #1. It is falling faster than a rock in water.

Don't be too dismayed, though. When she tours late this year, her total income for four years will exceed half-a-billion dollars

Miley Cyrus Twitter musical preference

Miley Cyrus has admitted on Twitter her musical preference is emo. For the past few days I've surrounded myself with Joe Satriani's Anthology CD. I invite Ms. Cyrus to add this to her iPod. She'll forget those emo bands in a moment.

Wouldn't it be fantastic to see Hollywood Records evolve and add Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen and Dweezil Zappa as backing musicians for groups like 78violet (Aly & AJ) or Demi Lovato? You'd have the world's top four living guitar players. Come on, argue with that on comments!

Recently I read a music review, possibly from Philadelphia, that Ashley Tisdale was channeling Kelly Clarkson. It wasn't until I heard the first two songs of Here We Go Again that I believed in that review. I love Lovato's voice, but that review and the first two songs ruined the whole CD for me. That's why Hollywood Records needs to evolve. Its Hilary Duff formula - which includes High School Musical, Aly & AJ to Lovato - is growing stale.

So it is my dream (is that a Blue Dream?) to combine the slick production of Disney with the world's greatest rock musicians. Maybe even Pete Townshend! Let me produce the next generation of Tween Music. It will change how you listen to music forever - much like Jimi Hendrix did!

Hannah Montana 3 soundtrack debuts at #2 Sells half Jonas Brothers CD Is Miley Cyrus fad done?

Never thought it would happen, but the Hannah Montana Volume 3 soundtrack did not jump out of the box at number 1. It placed #2 behind an R&B artist who hasn’t released a CD in nearly a decade – and it wasn’t Michael Jackson, either.

The Hannah Montana CD bowed with a mere 137,000 units; nearly half the 247,000 units Jonas Brothers Lines Vines and Trying Times launched at, and about a fourth of what I thought the soundtrack would do.

It opened second to R&B singer Maxwell who has not had a product since 2001. He sold 316,000 units, making Hannah Montana’s career look even more uncertain.

Cyrus came on the scene as a clone to Hilary Duff, whose show Lizzie Mcguire left the Disney stable two years before Hannah Montana bowed in 2006. January of 2009 Duff was released from her Hollywood Records contract.

In 2007 Cyrus’ tour sold 69 cities out in less than an hour. Her upcoming 45 cities tour has tickets available for every show five weeks after initial sale. Is this the beginning of the end of Cyrus’ career? She recently signed for a fourth season of Hannah Montana. She is filming The Last Song. The Hannah Montana Movie, opening with about $45,000, is still in the box office top 10 for 2009.

Only 137,000 units of her new CD. Questions are – is she as popular as ever but with the current economic conditions, people are listening to the songs on YouTube and other sites and foregoing purchasing. Are downloads higher, thus reducing initial CD sales? Or has Miley Cyrus lost the publics’ eye? Have her fans outgrown her as they get older. Have Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez replaced her in the hearts of Tweens?

$400,000 per day teenager redux

They forgot Hilary Duff in this report (see report on Duff dumped by Disney on different pages of this blog).

Cars change in the background.

Hilary Duff dumped by Disney

Hilary Duff has released six CDs, self titled, Metamorphosis, Santa Claus Lane, and Dignity. Then, a greatest hits called Most Wanted in 2005. So how does Disney’s Hollywood Records dump its original tween darling? How about a best of instead of a greatest hits. 2004 seems so long ago for the end of Lizzie McGuire.

Her career is on a high. She has four movies planned. You remember how popular her last movie, released May, 2008, was – “War, Inc.” Probably outsold High School Musical 3. What do you mean you never heard of it?

What do Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and the U.S. economy have in common in 2008? Their futures look bleak. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out – are you listening Miley Cyrus?
