Miley takes over Sirius channel

NEW YORK, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- U.S. television star and pop singer Miley Cyrus is taking over Sirius Satellite Radio's Hits 1 channel from Friday through Tuesday.

Cyrus will play her favorite records, share stories and count down the year's top 45 pop songs in North America in a year-end edition of "Sirius Hits 1 Weekend Countdown," the satellite radio network said in a statement.

Also on "Miley Radio!" Cyrus will preside over special editions of "Hit-Bound," the channel's show about artists and songs poised to be the next big things, as well as the "Best of Live Earth Countdown," a collection of the most memorable moments from "Live Earth."

The 15-year-old daughter of country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus is the star of Disney Channel's series "Hannah Montana."

In 2007, she embarked on the "Best of Both Worlds" tour performing as both herself and her character Hannah Montana.

Tickets for the 54-city North American tour sold out in record time.

Forbes magazine ranked the teen star No. 17 on its Top 20 earners under 25 list.
