Actually, if Miley Cyrus's "See You Again" is released as a single, that's the one that tops my list.

I'm counting "See You Again" because it's Disney product and Disney doesn't play by the rules; it's #2 on my main list after "Lip Gloss."

What I meant is that I'm voting it number one country if they release it. 'Cause it's a rockabilly song. (It'd be around three or four on my Jackin P&J's.)

For the record, I'm definitely counting "See You Again" as a single, because it's acting like one, even if the record company is refusing to make it one:

--It's the only Miley or Hannah Montana song getting significant Top 40 Airplay: 388 spins nationally last week, which isn't a lot, but puts it in the Top 60. (How is this happening? Is there a record company push to Top 40 but not to Disney on this track? Or is this strictly consumer demand? Interesting either way.)
--Jimmy Draper tells me that right now it's the best-selling Hannah/Miley track on iTunes.
--Miley herself seems to be pushing it, putting it first up on her MySpace.
--It's the one a lot of my Web friends are getting excited about.

Radio Disney is playing "Start All Over" as the next Miley single, which is an interesting choice: I like it a lot, third best after "See You Again" and "GNO" (so, even better than "East Cumberland High"), but I wasn't thinking to myself "Here's a hit single." The singing is raw in a good way, but raw nonetheless. So Fefe Dobson finally hits on Disney, by proxy.
