Miley Cyrus, star of Disney’s hit series Hannah Montana, makes her solo debut with the release of “Breakout” on Disney’s Hollywood Records, with her biggest sales debut, scanning over 372,000 units. Cyrus co-wrote 8 of the songs of the smash album.

“Breakout” is the third debut at # 1 for the 15-year-old superstar. In fall of 2006, the first “Hannah Montana” soundtrack debuted at # 1 on the Billboard Top 200, the first ever soundtrack to do so, selling over 280,000 units. It is now triple platinum with over 3 million units sold worldwide. The highly anticipated follow-up, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus, a two-disc set from Walt Disney Records and Hollywood Records, debuted at # 1 less than a year later, scanning over 325,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Miley Cyrus is the youngest ever recording artist with three # 1 albums in less than 2 years.

The build up to the release of Breakout started with Miley’s first single and video “7 Things.” The single soared to # 1 at Radio Disney, and top 5 at iTunes. The video, directed by Brett Ratner, debuted on ABC’s Wonderful World of Disney, rotates on Disney Channel and leapt into the top 5 at MTV’s TRL.

Digitally, “7 Things” has sold over 700,000 units. Eleven songs from Breakout debuted in the Top 200 Digital Tracks chart, with 891,000 digital tracks sold over all.
