iCarly iPlaylist will debut four original songs performed by Cosgrove, including the series' theme song, "Leave It All to Me" (featuring Drake Bell), which recently charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The hit song currently averages a four-star rating with customers on iTunes, as well as charting on the music store's Pop chart for 11 consecutive weeks. The new album also will feature songs inspired by iCarly from top artists like Lavigne, Bedingfield, Good Charlotte, Sean Kingston and a brand-new, exclusive song from The Naked Brothers Band, stars of the Nick hit live-action series of the same name.
iCarly, one of the most watched live-action premieres in Nickelodeon history, is the highest-rated program on all of TV in its time slot with kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14. Since its launch, kids have uploaded more than 100,000 videos to the iCarly.com website, and the site has received more than 11.6 million visits and averaged 2.8M monthly visitors in the first quarter of 2008 alone.*
"Miranda Cosgrove is one of today's brightest and fastest rising young stars," said Steve Barnett of Columbia Records. "We are happy to welcome her to the Columbia Records family and very excited to be releasing iCarly iPlaylist."
"Nickelodeon is on the cutting-edge of programming for tweens and young adults," said Rob Stringer, Chairman of the Sony Music Label Group. "With iCarly, Nick has achieved a brilliant synthesis between television and the internet. Sony Music is thrilled to be partnering with Nickelodeon to create new ways for fans to interact with their favorite musicians, actors and media stars."
"We have watched Miranda essentially grow up here at Nickelodeon and this is an exciting next step she's taking in her career," said Cyma Zarghami, President, Nickelodeon, MTV Networks Kids and Family Group. "iCarly is a true creative innovation as a multi-media hit for kids and tweens, and we are thrilled that Sony will bring Miranda to a brand new platform in music."
iCarly iPlaylist is a product of the development and production partnership between Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment brand for kids, and the Sony Music Label Group and the Sony BMG Commercial Music Group.
iCarly stars Miranda Cosgrove as Carly Shay, a teenager who lives with her twenty-something brother/guardian Spencer (Jerry Trainor) and produces webcasts from a makeshift loft studio with pals Sam (Jennette McCurdy) and Freddie (Nathan Kress). iCarly is TV's only scripted series ever to let kids contribute by incorporating videos they created to showcase their unusual talents.
Cosgrove, 14, nabbed her first TV series and feature film at age nine: She was cast first as Megan Parker, the deceptively sweet, scamming sister on Drake & Josh's and soon after as Summer Hathaway, the over-achieving preppy manager of Jack Black's rock band on the big screen in School of Rock. Her other film credits include the '05 feature-film release Yours, Mine and Ours from Paramount Pictures/Nickelodeon Movies and Keeping up with the Steins.
iCarly was created by Dan Schneider, the creative force behind other Nickelodeon hits including Emmy Award-nominated Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, The Amanda Show, Kenan & Kel and All That. Called "the Norman Lear of children's television" by The New York Times, Schneider created the WB's What I Like About You and wrote and co-produced the film Big Fat Liar.

Lyrics to the song Leave It All To Me
I know, you see
Somehow the world will change for me
And be so wonderful
Live life, breathe air
I know somehow we're gonna get there
And feel so wonderful
I will make you change your life
These things happen all the time
And it's all real
I'm telling you just how I feel
So wake up the members of my nation
It's your time to be
There's no chance unless you take one
And it's time to see
The brighter side of every situation
Somethings are meant to be
So give me your best and leave the rest to me
I Know
This time
To raise the hand that draws the line
And be so wonderful
Gold and sunshine
I know somehow it's going to be mine
And feel so wonderful
Show me what you can become
Here's to dreaming
Everyone
And it's all real
I'm telling you just how I feel
So wake up the members of my nation
It's your time to be
There's no chance unless you take one
And it's time to see
The brighter side of every situation
Somethings are meant to be
So give me your best and leave the rest to me
Leave it all to me
Leave it all to me
So make it mine and see it through
You know you won't be free until you
Wake up the members of my nation
It's your time to be
There's no chance unless you take one
And it's time to see
The brighter side of every situation
Somethings are meant to be
So give me your best and leave the rest to me
Leave it all to me
Leave it all to me
Just leave it all to me....

Since then she has been in a successful television series (Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh) and a number of other films including the remake of Yours, Mine And ours.
