Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, Demi Lovato...move over girls and make room for a new Disney pop princess. 17 year old Selena Gomez is headed up the pop charts with a new cover of Pilot's classic 1974 pop hit "Magic." The original was a top 5 smash and has become a soft rock radio classic. Gomez is best known for her continuing role on the Disney TV series Wizards of Waverly Place. Her version of "Magic" comes from the soundtrack album for the TV show and the movie inspired by it.
Selena Gomez debuted this week at #61 on the Billboard Hot 100 easily beating out both Madonna and Whitney Houston. The song should create momentum for Gomez' first solo album Kiss and Tell which is due in stores September 29, 2009 going head to head with Mariah Carey and her upcoming album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. This isn't Selena Gomez' first appearance on the pop singles chart - she made her first appearance last year with "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" from Another Cinderella Story and earlier this year had a guest appearance on Forever the Sickest Kids' "Whoa Oh!" However, it looks like "Magic" could easily be Selena Gomez' pop breakthrough moment.
