Scars Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Reminder that not only did Hollywood Records refuse to do a music video for See You Again, but also threatened to sue the radio stations that initially played the song when it started to organically take off, as you can hear here: It starts at 2:00! The label eventually came around on the idea and released it as Miley's debut single. Despite the lack of a video, See You Again peaked at #10 on Hot 100, #5 on digital sales, #4 on pop radio and #31 on 2008's Hot 100 year-end. Herstory!

Jooj Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Damn, the song was almost top 30 on the YE charts without a video... I wonder what would have happened if they made a video for it and put it on heavy rotation on Disney Channel and etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyonnaise Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 See You Again smashing was really impressive especially during the Hollywood Records era when Disney Channel artists were otherwise shunned from pop radio. For context, Miley got a top 10 hit with it before Katy, Gaga or Taylor ever did. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornUnbroken Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Wow, this definitely would've impacted its peak during that time. Hilary may be the blueprint, but Miley's radio and chart success really made it so the rest of the girls could break through too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintlor Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) I was always under the impression Miley's pre-bangerz music (aside from PITUSA) flopped and was only popular within her fanbase, I didn't know she had multi platinum songs that charted well Edited August 31, 2023 by Saintlor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of airplay support hurted her full potential, but all of her pre-Bangerz singles are multiplatinum except Start All Over and Fly On the Wall, which weren't sent to radio. The Climb sold 4.5 million pure sales in the US, peaked at #4 on Hot 100 and made it to #21 on 2009's Hot 100 year-end. 7 Things spent multiple weeks inside the top10 despite not being touched by radio and When I Look At You is a cute 3x platinum-certified top20 hit that has over 420M streams on Spotify, which is great for a 2009 song. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start All Over deserved so much better. One of her best singles AND music videos I remember being gagged when it used to air during Disney Channel ad breaks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquiddiamonds Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) A classic they couldn’t have fumbled even if they wanted to breakout on the other hand deserved better than that rollout Edited August 31, 2023 by liquiddiamonds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
