What makes Miley successful?

If you think she's not, here are the facts: 1. She's listed in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. 2. Forbes magazine ranked her #35 on the "Celebrity 100" list with earnings of $25 million in 2008, her rank improved to #29 in 2009. 3. Her second studio album under her own name, entitled Breakout debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart with a first week sales of about 371,000 copies. 4. "7 Things" was the first single to be released from Breakout and peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. 5. In 2008, she hosted the Teen Choice Awards. 6. She co-wrote and recorded one of the two original songs on the soundtrack of Bolt, which features her Bolt co-star John Travolta. Titled "I Thought I Lost You", it was later nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. 7. Her single, "The Climb" from Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, thus becoming her highest charting single since "See You Again" and "7 Things" which charted at #10 and #9 respectively. 8. The movie's soundtrack became the third album under the franchise to take the lead of the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the RIAA. 9. "Party in the U.S.A." charted at # 2. The song made it to number one on Hot Digital Songs with 226,000 paid downloads, making her the youngest artist to top the chart, which led its big debut on the Billboard Hot 100, where it was placed at number two, topping "The Climb". The song thereby became the fastest breaking single in Hollywood Records' history. The question is, what makes Miley so successful? The question still remains unanswered: What makes her so successful? It's not her dad. In her biography "Miles to go", she stated that she had to go through auditions after auditions. And there were fifty other would-be Hannahs waiting to be seen. Over 2 million people having bad taste in music? Well, I beg to differ. I'm not asking why she sucks so badly, I'm asking what makes her so successful. It's not entirely Disney that makes her successful, if it were, her latest album, The Time of Our Lives featuring the lead single "Party in the U.S.A." would be a flop. Reason, it is released under Hollywood Records not Disney. FYI, the album has sold over 700,000 copies worldwide according to Rolling Stone. She writes many of her own songs including "Party in the U.S.A." The song's lyrics evoke her move from Nashville, Tennessee to Los Angeles, California.

She has a body double for her concerts and people pay thousands of dollars to see that! 3.She thinks that she is a famous super star. SHE IS A FREAKEN DISNEY CHANNEL ACTRESS! 2.She is only famous because of her dad. ~~ When she auditioned for Hannah Montana they told her " NO! " ~~ So she pouted and introduced them her dad. She got the part cause they were Billy Ray Cyrus Fans. ~~ And the gay part was that he got the part to! 1. She has braces on the back of her teeth that makes her sound mental.
5. Her show launched her. The message is that it's alright to be a sneaky, lying, backstabbing, selfish brat. You wont get in any real trouble for it.

11. the 2 main things her dad and disney. But i gotta give the the girl some credit she does do a lot of stuff for a 17 year old and she has found a way to make herself super successful.
12. All of what you said, plus she's a singer, actress, has a fashion line at Wal-Mart, has a super-succesful Disney Channel show, is so beautiful, a bunch of girls her age must be jealous or something, and because people actually wanna hear about her or like her. That answers the question. I suggest the haters STFU!
