The 16-year old Miley Cyrus is the royalty of the Tweens. Tween is term used to describe girls aged between 9 to 14, too old for dolls but too young for boys.  The she is the considered as the Queen of Tweens.  Miley Cyrus began her acting career in 2003 by doing a small part as Young Ruthie in Tim Burton’s Big Fish and a guest spot on series called Doc where her Dad also stars.  And in 2005, the 13-year Miley started to carved her name in showbiz by winning the lead role in the Disney Channel TV series Hannah Montana.

She was initially rejected as being the “Hannah Montana” because she too young, and too small to be Hannah but due to her persistence and perseverance she become the Miley Stewart who lead a double life as the famous teen pop star Hannah Montana.

Since 2006, until now, Hannah Montana is the cable’s most-watched show for kids ages 6 to 14. Its success continues in song with the Hannah Montana soundtrack album debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200.  The Hannah Montana Season 1 soundtrack becomes triple platinum album.  Miley’s appeal is “charisma and a very winning personality that’s easily conveyed by both television and live performance,” says Billboard touring editor Ray Waddell. “She’s totally non-threatening to parents and a must-see for her target audience.”


On 2007, Hannah Montana goes for its second season.  The Hannah Montana Season 2 soundtrack called Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus sells 1.1 million copies.  Miley had also performed both as herself and as Hannah Montana on a North American Best of Both Worlds Tour with 69 total dates, 14 more than previously planned. The Jonas Brothers were the opening act for most of the tour.  Tour tickets for each date sold out in record time after they went on sale, disappointing a large number of fans.  The tour was recorded and released to cinemas in Disney Digital 3-D. The concert film earned $8,651,758 on its opening day, and continued on to gross $31,117,834 to finish off the weekend, making it the highest-grossing opening weekend for a film to be released fewer than 1000 screens, and on July 26, 2008 it was aired on Disney Channel.

Miley had also provided the voice of Penny in the animated film, Bolt.  Last April 2009, the Hannah Montana: The Movie was released.  Last July this year, Miley had released the latest Hannah Montana 3 soundtrack album.  In 2010 Miley is also expected to release her movie The Last Song.  The Last Song is an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks novel of the same title. This is Miley’s first attempt to entertain “older” audience.  In July 2009, Disney acquired the film rights to Aprilynne Pike’s novel Wings, in which Miley is expected to star.
