HSM Broke So Many Records!!!!!!


Who would of thought that HSM would break as many records as it did? Posted below is all the movies achievements that it made this past weekend. I'm so happy...this movie was really good and it had so many LOL moments and stuff. I didn't like it at first, but I've watched it 5 times already and I think it's better than the original. Anyways, back to the article. It talks about all the records it has broken and stuff like that. I can not wait to see how many cds it has sold this past week :) If you haven't yet go out and buy it!The Disney Channel's "High School Musical 2" danced into the Nielsen record books with a whopping first-night audience of 17.2 million people.The Friday night premiere of the highly anticipated followup to the Disney film franchise "High School Musical" was the most-watched basic-cable telecast ever. It's also the biggest TV draw ever with audiences between the ages of 6 and 11, and TV's most-watched entertainment show ever with audiences between the ages of 9 and 14.What's more staggering about the "HSM2" numbers is the figures do not account for viewing done at parties around the country, which are not tracked by Nielsen Media Research."High School Musical 2" is the sequel to the 2006 TV film, which followed a group of high school kids dealing with life and love. The original spawned a hit soundtrack, a worldwide concert tour, a show at Walt Disney World, and other products.The original and the followup star Brooklyn-born Corbin Bleu, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, New Jersey-native Ashley Tisdale, Monique Coleman and Lucas Grabeel."Music is such a universal language," Bleu recently told the Daily News. "The kids connected to it. It was something they could interact with. Everybody, no matter what age, what gender, they can relate to it."Friday's "HSM2" figures are likely to be the largest for any programming airing on cable or broadcast television for the week. For comparison, the most-watched show last week was NBC's "America's Got Talent," which averaged 10.8 million viewers.
