Miley Cyrus‘ new single “The Climb”—from the soundtrack for the Hannah Montana movie, which comes out in April—is a goopy ballad about life’s journey being more important than hitting heights in a quick matter, which of course is a believable sentiment from someone whose fame caused a Federal Reserve investigation before she could even drive her own car. The video is a CGI’d-to-death affair full of montages where Miley pensively watches computer-animated horses and stands in the rain and writhes in front of a movie screen; those are spliced between scenes from the film, in which young Hannah escapes her two worlds by taking “a trip to her hometown of Crowley Corners, Tennessee to get some perspective on what matters in life the most.” Perhaps she will also get some sort of divine inspiration during the course of the movie? OK, probably not. Clip after the jump.
I mean, not that i’m the type to defend Katy Perry and her “bi-curious until last call” ways, but doesn’t the Hannah Montana star’s response to a question about Miley and Katy sharing a girl-on-girl kiss at the forthcoming Video Music Awards smack of… More »

Every week, we round up the all-important, all-summarizing last sentences of the biggest new-music reviews. Today’s entry is Miley Cyrus’ Breakout, which hits stores tomorrow.
Unfortunately, Miley Cyrus’ new, Brett Ratner-directed video isn’t a Miley-led Guitar Hero marathon; instead, it’s a pretty straightforward clip in which Miley and a bunch of her besties lip-sync along with the super-Avrilly breakup anthem “7 Things.” More »
Ed. note: Chris “dennisobell” Molanphy, our resident chart guru, looks at the upward, downward, and lack of movement on this week’s Billboard charts:
In the last two years, we’ve seen several impressive feats on Billboard‘s Hot 100 by Disney Channel-groomed pop acts, and this week, we see another.
Four songs from the Jonas Brothers vehicle Camp Rock, which premiered on the channel last week, debut within the Top 40. And separately, Miley Cyrus previews her first album unattached from the Hannah Montana brand–and quickly scores her second-ever Top 10 hit.
Dig below these impressive numbers, and it becomes apparent that this is not necessarily another short-lived High School Musical-style chart blip. One week into summer, teenpop may be launching one of its once-a-decade all-out assaults on the pop charts–the kind of siege that will make even you, person over 18, forcibly aware of these songs faster than you can say “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart).”
