The Cheetah Girls (soundtrack)

The Cheetah Girls is the original motion picture soundtrack to the 2003 Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name. It was released on August 12, 2003 on compact disc and audio cassette by Walt Disney Records and it was recorded by The Cheetah Girls, Sonic Chaos, Char, Hope 7, and Christi Mac. It was later released as a special edition album with a few karaoke instrumentals and remixes of songs that are on the original version. Common Sense Media's review of the album complimented The Cheetah Girls' singing, but called the production "prefabricated" and generally disapproved of the musical presentation.
The album went to #33 on the Billboard 200 in the US and was certified Double Platinum, selling more than 2 million copies in the US alone.
It is one of the biggest selling albums from Walt Disney Records ever, along with the High School Musical soundtrack.
