BURBANK, CA (Walt Disney Records) - Walt Disney Records' "High School Musical" soundtrack continues to raise the bar - breaking four records and making history on the Billboard charts this week.

With the announcement of corrections to the charts, an unprecedented nine original songs from the "High School Musical" soundtrack have broken onto Billboard's Hot 100 chart - with five of them in the top 40. The evocative duet "Breaking Free" makes the largest jump in the 48-year history of the Billboard Hot 100, catapulting from No 86 to No 4 in just one week. The catchy single "Get'cha Head in the Game" breaks a 34-year-old record - making the biggest jump ever from the anchor position and soaring from No 100 to No 23. Seven other singles from the soundtrack also debuted on the Hot 100: No 28 - "Start of Something New," No 34 - "We're All in This Together," No 35 - "What I've Been Looking For," No 43 - "Stick To The Status Quo," No 62 - "Bop to the Top," No 67 - "What I've Been Looking For (Reprise)" and No 72 - "When There Was Me and You."

The main movie characters, Troy and Gabriella, each have set a new Billboard record by earning their first four chart entries (six, if one includes the two additional tracks credited to the entire "High School Musical" cast) within their first two weeks on the Hot 100. In comparison, it took The Beatles four weeks to rack up their first four chart entries in 1964.

In addition to breaking Billboard records, Walt Disney Records enjoys a new label best with "Breaking Free"'s chart success. The track's No 4 position makes it the label's highest-ranked Hot 100 song in their 50-year history. The former titleholder was 2005's Kelly Clarkson hit "Breakaway" from "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" soundtrack.

Walt Disney Records is part of The Buena Vista Music Group, the recorded music and music publishing arm of The Walt Disney Company. For more information, please visit DisneyRecords.com.
