Sabrina Carpenter just became the latest Disney star to have her album ‘Short N Sweet’ debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. And she’s not the only one. Here are some other Disney icons who have achieved the same feat.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ alumni like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and *NSYNC members JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake dominated the Billboard 200 chart with iconic albums, like ‘Christina Aguilera,’ ‘No Strings Attached’ and ‘Oops!…I Did It Again.’ ‘No Strings Attached’ and ‘Oops!…I Did It Again’ each sold more than 1 million copies in their first week. Britney, Christina and Justin continued to top the Billboard 200 in the mid-2000s with albums like ‘Back to Basics,’ ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’ and ‘Circus.’ Another Disney queen who topped the Billboard 200 chart in the early ’00s: Hilary Duff. The ‘Lizzie McGuire’ star debuted at No. 1 with her album ‘Most Wanted’ in 2005. Toward the ends of the 2000s and into the 2010s, we saw several Disney stars debut atop the Billboard 200. Miley Cyrus was the first out of her peers to debut at No. 1 with the first two albums from her hit TV show ‘Hannah Montana.’ She continued her success on the Billboard 200 in 2008 with her next album ‘Breakout.’ The Jonas Brothers also debuted at No. 1 in 2008 with their album ‘A Little Bit Longer.’ The band of brothers followed that up with another No. 1 album in 2009 ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times.’
