BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)----Hilary Duff's latest release, "Most Wanted," is in fact
the most wanted CD in the country this week, debuting at #1 and selling over 200,000 units in its first week.
"Most Wanted" is Hilary's second #1 album and first #1 album debut, and the highest first
week sales for any of her records. Hilary's third Hollywood Records CD features her hit single "Wake Up" and two other brand
new songs recorded exclusively for "Most Wanted" as well as a collection of Hilary's most popular songs, completely remixed
and remastered, including "So Yesterday," "Why Not," "Come Clean," and "Fly." The video for "Wake Up," directed by acclaimed
industry icon Mark Webb, has already reached the #1 spot on MTV's TRL. "Wake Up" has also been #1 at Radio Disney, and is
the music bed for Hilary's widespread Candie's campaign.
Said Buena Vista Music Group Chairman Bob Cavallo, "We are delighted to announce another
#1 album for Hilary. She delivered us a great single with "Wake Up" which has reconfirmed her place as everyone's favorite
#1 teen star."
Added Hilary Duff, "Wow, it's so surreal to have a #1 debut and I feel honored to be on
top of the Billboard charts with all this great competition. I want to thank all my fans and the people who worked so hard
on this record." Andre Recke, who manages Hilary's music career, said, "It feels great when all the hard work and effort pays
off with a #1 debut. Hilary is a hard worker and she deserves being #1."
Hilary is currently headlining her US "Most Wanted" tour through September. On top of her
thriving music career, Hilary is also an accomplished TV and movie actress, and designer and business woman. And with her
busy schedule she still finds time for philanthropic activities. Most wanted indeed!
