<br /> Miley Cyrus released her first album titled Breakout, and the interest in her new album

Miley Cyrus has released a new album titled Breakout.  This is the first album the 15-year-old star has made without her Hannah Montana alter-ego.

Cyrus admits that she was a bit “surprised” at the interest in her new album at recent promo event.

“Everyone actually showed up. I was like, ‘OK, there are going to be two people, and they’re going to be paparazzi.” The stunned Hannah Montana star told WENN

Miley was also proud of herself for the songs she wrote and how they sounded.

“It’s grown up. I wrote all the songs except two,” said Cyrus.

“Songwriting is what I really want to do with my life forever,” Cyrus told Billboard magazine .”I just hope this record showcases that, more than anything, I’m a writer.”

Cyrus was one of the biggest touring acts in the United States in 2007, taking in an estimated $36-million in ticket sales.
