Sonny with a Chance (soundtrack)

Four out of the nine total tracks on the soundtrack are performed by the series' star, Demi Lovato. Co-stars Tiffany Thornton and Sterling Knight each perform two tracks. Hollywood Records group Allstar Weekend appears once on the soundtrack. The theme song, "So Far, So Great", written by Aristeidis Archontis, Jeannie Lurie and Chen Neeman, was the first song from the album to be released, on January 28, 2009, days before the series premiered.[1] It was performed in the Summer Tour 2009.

"Me, Myself and Time", performed by Lovato, was released as a promotional single on August 3, 2010, the only one from the soundtrack. It was featured in the episode "Sonny with a Song", of the second season, and was later sent to Radio Disney. It is the first track of the soundtrack, written by Antonina Armato, Tim James and Devrim Karaoglu. The song peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, and charted on the US Hot Digital Songs chart and in its Canadian counterpart.[2]

AllMusic	[3]

Andrew Leahey of AllMusic believed that Tiffany Thornton and Sterling Knight "both deserve kudos for co-writing their own tunes, but that doesn't overshadow the fact that most of the material here is formulaic pop/rock, stripped of anything unique or different from other Disney albums." Leahey noted that the music was played by session musicians who were not listed within the show's credits, and wrote "it doesn't reflect well on Lovato, who has the most to lose as an aspiring musician when albums like this are released."[3]

The soundtrack debuted at number 163 on the Billboard 200, and charted for one week.[4] It has also peaked at number 3 on the US Kid Albums and at number 8 on the US Top Soundtracks.[5]
