As Hannah Montana, she attained two number-one and three top-five soundtracks on the *Billboard* 200, and the U.S. *Billboard* Hot 100 top-ten single "He Could Be the One". Cyrus' initial solo career consisted of the teen-friendly pop rock U.S. number-one albums *Meet Miley Cyrus* (2007) and *Breakout* (2008); these releases contained the US top-ten singles "See You Again" and "7 Things". She then released the extended play *The Time of Our Lives* (2009), which peaked at number two in the U.S; its lead single, "Party in the U.S.A", became one of the best-selling singles in the United States and was certified diamond by the RIAA.

In 2021, Cyrus collaborated with The Kid Laroi on a remix of his single, "Without You".
