Disney’s “Descendants” is the franchise phenomenon that just won’t stop — look no further than the climbing YouTube numbers for its songs and performers.
Its latest and third installment centers around the teenage children of famous villains who return to the Isle of the Lost looking to recruit new kids to join them at their school, Auradon Prep. But things go haywire when Hades, the god of the underworld, escapes and the citizens panic — all told through song and dance.
When “Descendants 3” screened last summer, the movie received a delightfully wicked reception, with over 8.4 million viewers tuning in on the Disney Channel. The soundtrack went on to great success as well, and, so far, the songs from the third installment logged over 111 million views in just the first five days.

Chasing the ever-lucrative, ever-changing market for children’s entertainment has always been a struggle, and nowhere are the challenges more acute than in music.
Variety’s Music for Screens summit will bring together execs from Disney Channel, DreamWorks Animation and eOne, along with songwriters Antonina Armato and Kay Hanley, for a panel moderated by Bmi’s VP of Creative Relations Doreen Ringer Ross to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing music in family entertainment.
One of the year’s most unexpected success stories in the kids’ music space came via the popular “Peppa Pig” (pictured). The first album from the long-running British preschool show got a surprise boost in publicity when rapper Iggy Azalea turned her competing release date into a pretend chart feud with Peppa on Twitter, which gave birth to all manner of memes.

It’s a been a few years since the High School Musical franchise finally came to an end, which means it’s high time Disney found a new musical movie to turn into a hot commodity. We’ve already seen high school turned into a musical, so what could we do next? How about a callback to all the classic beach-party movies of old? Nothing says “appropriate for all ages” like teenagers singing and dancing at the hot, sunny beach in nothing but their bathing suits. That’s a lot of sex appeal Disney will have to curb. Amazingly, they might have done the trick without much effort.
Disney Channel will air Teen Beach Movie at 8 p.m. Friday, July 19 with the trailer debuting Friday at midnight on Disney.com and 9 p.m. on the Disney Channel. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the telefilm will star Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell as Brady and McKenzie,...

Nigel Lythgoe, who has to produce a new reality show every few months or else Rumpelstiltskin will steal his baby, has another music talent-search show in the works at E!, the network announced today. Opening Act will pluck bands and solo artists from the obscure corners of the Internet and usher them to L.A., where they will bask in the mentoring of producer Antonina Armato and Mary J. Blige, in the hopes of landing a gig opening for a bigger act. Blige was on X Factor last year and a guest judge on American Idol not too long before that, so a more permanent spot on a reality show seemed like it was in the cards for her. Better than a Burger King commercial, at least.

Selena Gomez confessed that she's that kind of person who is easy to fall in love. The Disney darling who's been dating Justin Bieber for months revealed this fact about her in a recent radio interview when she explained the meaning behind her single "Love You Like a Love Song".
"They created this song for me because they think I fall in love quickly and I'm very romantic," she told 104.5 Chum FM of why Rock Mafia's Tim James and Antonina Armato wrote the track for her. "And it's really fun and upbeat, so it's different."
Meanwhile, in a different interview with Z1035 earlier this week, 19-year-old Selena gushed that she loves to make a playlist with Bff Taylor Swift to overcome sadness during breakups. "Whenever we went through kind of our breakup phase, we made each other playlists," so she recalled.

Hot on the heels of her 2011 world tour dates announcement, Miley Cyrus returned to Twitter after ditching the social network in October 2009. "This is my new way to connect," the "Lol: Laughing Out Loud" star tweeted her first message on Monday, March 21.
Instead of opening a new account, Miley took over her producer Rock Mafia's page. "When I need to speak out I will tweet from @Rock_Mafia Rock Mafia Forever xMC," she wrote. To convince her devotees that it's indeed her, she posted a picture of herself and songwriter-producer Antonina Armato from their studio session.
Someone on Rock Mafia then posted, "She will tweet from here till we convince her to make a new account !!!! ;)." But Miley's still reluctant to open a new account, writing a few hours later "Wanted to make it clear I'm Not rejoining twitter. Im only using it when with Rm writing! Fans are...

"For those who don't know me, I can get a bit crazy," Miley Cyrus says in her brand new single, "Can't Be Tamed." Following pole-dancing performances and revealing photos, anyone who does know her would know that too.
The synth-driven single just premiered on radio, MySpace, and YouTube today, with Cyrus singing she goes "through guys like money flying out the hands." A far cry from "Hannah Montana." When she sang "Let's Get Crazy," she meant just getting up and dance.
Her new single seems to come from the school of Christina Aguilera's "Not Myself Tonight." Cyrus, who like Aguilera described her upcoming album as electronic-leaning, offers up a bouncy, slightly auto-tuned summer pop hit. It's no "Party in the U.S.A.," but this Cyrus sounds like she's having one.
The track finds Cyrus collaborating with Antonina Armato and Tim James, who also helmed her hits "See You Again" and "7 Things.

Several photos taken from the filming set of Miley Cyrus' "Can't Be Tamed" music video have hit the web. They capture male and female backing dancers in colorful outfit and make-up but the "Hannah Montana" star herself is not seen in those pics.
