She was 13 when they filmed the show&#8217;s pilot. Her father, famous country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, co-starred on the show playing her father. Billy Ray Cyrus is best known for his 1992 hit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/billy-ray-cyrus\/achy-breaky-heart\">&#8220;Achy Breaky Heart,&#8221;<\/a> which topped the US Hot Country Singles chart. Following the show&#8217;s premiere in March 2006, it became a massive success. The show featured Miley Cyrus playing Miley Stewart, a seemingly typical teenage girl with a huge secret. She&#8217;s secretly a superstar named Hannah Montana. Throughout the majority of the show, the only people to know her secret are her best friend Lily, played by Emily Osment, and her family. Actor James Earles played Hannah Montana&#8217;s brother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show saw many guest appearances, including Dolly Parton as Miley&#8217;s godmother. Truly, Parton is Miley Cyrus&#8217;s godmother in real life, not just on the show. This introduced the legendary country singer to a new generation of listeners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many songs from the show and eventual movie charted on the <em>Billboard<\/em> charts. The show&#8217;s soundtracks <em>Hannah Montana<\/em>, <em>Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus<\/em>, <em>and Hannah Montana: The Movie<\/em> all reached No. 1 on the <em>Billboard<\/em> 200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-songfacts-fact\"><div class=\"songfacts-card songfacts-card-horizontal\"><div class=\"songfacts-content-container\"><div class=\"songfacts-header\"><h3 class=\"songfacts-card-title\"><span>Songfacts: <\/span><span class=\"songfacts-title-part\">The Best Of Both Worlds<\/span><span class=\"songfacts-separator\"> | <\/span><span class=\"songfacts-artist-part\">Hannah Montana<\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"songfacts-meta\">Album:<span class=\"songfacts-album\">Hannah Montana Soundtrack <\/span><span class=\"songfacts-releasedate\"> [2006]<\/span><\/div><div class=\"songfacts-body\"><p class=\"songfacts-card-text\">&#8220;The Best Of Both Worlds&#8221; was the first in a run of hits from Hannah Montana, all sung by Miley Cyrus.

The biggest hit was &#8220;He Could Be the One,&#8221; which went to #10 in 2009.\r\rIt was also the start of a dazzling solo career for Miley Cyrus and a renaissance for teen TV stars as musicians. Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, The Jonas Brothers, Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo all followed.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"songfacts-footer\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/hannah-montana\/the-best-of-both-worlds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"songfacts-button\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SongFacts-icon.png\" alt=\"Songfacts\" style=\"width:20px;height:20px;vertical-align:middle;margin-right:5px\" \/><\/span>Read the full Songfacts<svg><title>angle-double-right<\/title><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hannah Montana<\/em> ended on January 16, 2011, after four seasons.
