Disney may have created the brand Hannah Montana, but Miley's ability to transcend that image and turn it into something completely her own is impressive in it's own right. Already a decade into her career outside Disney and she's become a household name. Not to mention that she's radically different from the quintessential pop girl image. Miley's starpower makes her stand out from her peers tremendously and she's used that to her advantage as being the first in her age group to do everything and cultivate her own artistry. And before anyone says that that image from which she destroyed her cookie cutter Disney princess image, just know that it worked and that she is fully capable of reinventing herself, like she always does every era. Even without Hannah Montana Miley still has Ari beat when it comes to pop cultural impact and overall X factor and charisma with an interest that keeps the gp hooked. Miley also has the type of fanbase that accepts her artistry, hence Dead Petz.. they have followed her since her Disney days up until then and have still remained faithful to follow her into M6. Miley also has her talent to fall back on, whether the geepee loves her or not, they can't deny she's a powerhouse and is a great performer.
She's in Hannah Montana's shadow and her biggest hit Wrecking Ball was a lil quick single.
there's literally no way it could've smashed bc it wasn't even available for purchase
