The soundtrack to the recently released Disney Original movie Let It Shine is currently #1 on the HipHop Billboard Charts.

Tyler James Williams famous for his lead role in the comedy Everybody Hate’s Chris took to Twitter to break the news to his fans.  Let It Shine premiered last month on the Disney Channel on June 15, 2012.  The movie premiered at #1 TV movie of the year across target kids 2-11 and kids 6-11 and Tweens.  “Let It Shine,” a re-imagining of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac story (an 1837 play written entirely in verse) set in the contemporary world of hip-hop, rap and gospel music.  The story unfolds in Atlanta, Georgia as Cyrus DeBarge, who is a pastor’s son and his best friend Kris McDuffy reunite with their childhood friend, teenage singing sensation Roxanne “Roxie” Andrews, whose music label is sponsoring a songwriting contest at a teen club.

The story follows 16-year-old Cyrus DeBarge (Williams), an aspiring musician who has a gift for rhyme yet lacks the self-confidence to take the stage.  Through his rap song he can tell his long time crush Roxanne Andrews played by Coco Jones how he feels about her.  When Cyrus and his somewhat flighty best friend Kris McDuffy enter a songwriting contest.  But when Kris is mistakenly named the winner of the contest for a song that Cyrus wrote.  Cyrus is filled with so much stage fright and being thrust into the limelight that he lets Kris take the credit for his heartfelt lyrics.
