Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana in 2009's "Hannah Montana: The Movie."Disney
We ranked all 33 streamable songs by Hannah Montana from the first three Disney Channel soundtrack albums, as well as tracks from "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
Only songs available on Spotify and attributed to the name Hannah Montana were included. Songs by Miley Cyrus — even if included on "Hannah Montana" soundtracks, such as "The Climb" — were not considered.
The fourth soundtrack, "Hannah Montana Forever," isn't available to stream, so it wasn't included.
The show's iconic theme song "The Best of Both Worlds" took the top spot. "He Could Be the One" and "Nobody's Perfect" rounded out the top three.
"Ice Cream Freeze (Let's Chill)" was ranked the lowest.
Hannah Montana is still one of the most recognizable names in the music industry even though Miley Cyrus hung up her blonde wig in 2011.
Cyrus portrayed the pop star — or, more accurately, she portrayed a normal high schooler with a secret musical alter-ego — for nearly five years on Disney Channel.
The role shot her to stardom at age 12 and resulted in three seasons of "Hannah Montana," a theatrically-released film titled "Hannah Montana: The Movie," a farewell season known as "Hannah Montana Forever," and four soundtrack albums.
Insider's music team (reporter Callie Ahlgrim and celebrity and music editor Courteney Larocca) decided to rank all 33 songs in the teen pop sensation's discography that are currently available to stream on Spotify. They're listed below in descending order.
Note: Only songs available to stream that are attributed to the name Hannah Montana were included. Songs by Miley Cyrus — even if included on "Hannah Montana" soundtracks, such as "The Climb" — were not considered.
