Hilary Duff Music! Music!

One for the Money
Hilary Duff’s music career began to manifest itself in early 2002 when she recorded songs for ‘The Lizzie McGuire Show’ original soundtrack, and also lent her voice to the Disneymania compilation singing The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room. In the same year, Hilary cut her first studio album titled Santa Claus Lane. It was a collection of Christmas songs that included duets and collaborations with pop sensations Christina Milian and L’il Romeo, and also Hilary’s big sister, Haylie Duff. Songs from this album were used in The Santa Clause 2 and Cheaper by the Dozen. Hilary also recorded several tracks, including the single Why Not to be featured in ‘The Lizzie McGuire Movie’.

Two for the Show
Hilary Duff released her second studio album Metamorphosis in 2003. It went platinum and reached #1 on the Billboard 200 charts. It ended up selling more than 3.7 million copies and included her smash hit So Yesterday, which became Hilary’s first Top 40 hit. It was one of the biggest selling albums in the US that year and the music video was on heavy rotation on MTV. It was late in 2003 when Hilary embarked on her first concert tour, in which every show was jam-packed and sold out. The talented songstress has already received several awards for her music. She picked up the Best New Artist award at the 2004 World Music Awards and also the Best Female Artist at the 2004 Kids Choice Awards.

Simply Hilary
Hilary’s third album titled Hilary Duff was released in 2004 and revealed her blossoming into womanhood. Such evocative song titles as Do You Want Me? and Who’s That Girl? were big hits and the album sold over 1.5 million copies.

Woman On Top
Hilary’s 2005 album Most Wanted included mostly her favorite tracks from her previous albums, some remixes and also some new, edgier tracks inspired by Hilary’s pop-rock idols The Killers and Muse. Hilary relished having more creative control on this album, co-writing and co-producing many tracks with her then-boyfriend Joel Madden and his brother Benji Madden, both from the famed pop-punk band Good Charlotte. The first single from the album, Wake Up became her highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, her highest peaking single in the US and was the #1 video on MTV’s Total Request Live.

New Releases
Hilary Duff recorded some tracks for her most recent film Material Girls, covering Madonna’s smash hit Material Girl with her sister Haylie.

Dignity
Hilary’s newest album Dignity, released in April 2007 will get you on the dance floor with its upbeat flavor and pop style lyrics featured in Play With Fire and With Love. Hilary slows it down in tracks like No Work No Play and Between You and Me.
