V (Vanessa Hudgens album)

Untitled

V is Vanessa Hudgens's debut album, first released on September 26, 2006. Hudgens stated the title of the album stands for Vanessa, but also for variety, "because my album, in a way, is a mix" of pop, pop rock, dance electronic, and ballads. Hudgens promoted the album when opening for The Cheetah Girls during their The Party's Just Begun Tour, and then promoted on the High School Musical Tour. The music video for the first single, "Come Back to Me", was played on major television stations, and the second single from the album, "Say OK", was premiered with two videos.

Hudgens was the first High School Musical cast member to release a album, and she has the second most successful debut album out of the cast.

The album was first released in the U.S. on September 26, 2006; there were different editions issued, each containing thirteen or fourteen tracks with varying bonus tracks. A twelve-track version was then released internationally on November 28, 2006. The CD was then released on January 17, 2007 in Japan (sixteen tracks) and on March 17, 2007 in Australia (twelve tracks).

When the album was released in the United States, it debuted on the Billboard 200 in early October 2006 at number twenty-four on the chart, with 34,000 copies sold that week. The album was certified gold for sales/shipments of 500,000 copies.
