<\/div>\n<\/div>\nShe Earned a Grammy Nomination at Just 10 Years Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\tLong before Panettiere became a charting singer on Nashville<\/em>, she was already a Grammy nominee. In 2000, the then-10-year-old actress received a nomination for best spoken word album for children at the 42nd annual Grammy Awards for A Bug\u2019s Life Read-Along<\/em>, a companion audio recording based on the 1998 Pixar film. The Recording Academy lists Panettiere as a credited performer on the project, making her a Grammy nominee before she had even reached her teenage years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nShe Was Pursuing a Pop Career Before Nashville<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\tPanettiere\u2019s music career didn\u2019t begin with Nashville<\/em>. Years before she was even cast as country-pop star Juliette Barnes, Panettiere had already been recording music for film and television, including \u201cI Fly\u201d for Disney\u2019s Ice Princess<\/em> and \u201cTry\u201d for the movie Bridge to Terabithia<\/em>. She also recorded songs for Tiger Cruise<\/em>, The Dust Factory<\/em>, Cinderella III: A Twist in Time<\/em> and other projects.<\/p>\n\n\tIn 2008, however, Panettiere took a step toward establishing herself as a recording artist outside of her onscreen career. She released \u201cWake Up Call,\u201d a reggae-infused pop song, as her first single that wasn\u2019t connected to an acting role. The song was released digitally in August 2008 through Hollywood Records, which was also planning a debut album for Panettiere. Billboard<\/em> covered the launch at the time, noting that the Heroes<\/em> star was being promoted through a major marketing campaign with Candie\u2019s shoe and clothing brand, which helped fund the song\u2019s music video and promoted it through a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign.<\/p>\n\n\tThough the planned album never came to be, \u201cWake Up Call\u201d was a sign of what Panettiere was capable of in music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

\nShe Landed 11 Songs on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Hot Country Songs Chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\tPanettiere didn\u2019t just sing country songs for Nashville<\/em>. Her recordings as Juliette Barnes actually made an impact on the Billboard<\/em> charts. During the show\u2019s duration, Panettiere landed 11 songs on the Hot Country Songs chart, including \u201cLove Like Mine,\u201d \u201cUndermine\u201d with Charles Esten, \u201cWrong Song\u201d with Connie Britton, \u201cFor Your Glory,\u201d \u201cBoys and Buses,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m a Girl,\u201d \u201cConsider Me\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Put Dirt on My Grave Just Yet.\u201d<\/p>\nNashville<\/em> blurred the line between its fictional Music City and the real country-music industry, with its cast recordings and releasing songs commercially throughout the show\u2019s six-season run. For Panettiere, that meant her portrayal of Juliette became a genuine musical aspect of her career, and one that left behind a substantial Billboard<\/em> chart history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\n\u201cTelescope\u201d Became Her Signature Country Hit<\/h2>\n\n\n\tIf there\u2019s one song that best represents Panettiere\u2019s musical legacy, it\u2019s \u201cTelescope.\u201d Released in 2012 as the first single from The Music of Nashville: Season 1, Volume 1<\/em>, the country-pop track was performed by Panettiere as Juliette Barnes. Written by real-life Nashville hitmakers Hillary Lindsey and Cary Barlowe and produced by Dann Huff, \u201cTelescope\u201d quickly became one of the most recognizable songs associated with the series.<\/p>\n\n\tThe song peaked on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Hot Country Songs chart at No. 36 in December 2012, giving Panettiere one of the strongest chart placements of her music career. At the time, the song\u2019s success was notable because Nashville<\/em> was doing something relatively unusual for a television series. The episodic show was treating its fictional musicians\u2019 recordings like legitimate commercial releases. Billboard<\/em> reported in October 2012 that Panettiere had already debuted on the Country Digital Songs chart with \u201cLove Like Mine,\u201d while \u201cTelescope\u201d was publicized as the show\u2019s first official single.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n- \n
\nThe Nashville<\/em> Soundtracks Became a Major Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\tThe show\u2019s music became a commercial success in its own right, with the first The Music of Nashville: Season 1, Volume 1<\/em> soundtrack debuting at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and No. 4 on Top Country Albums in 2012, selling 56,000 copies in its first week.<\/p>\n\n\tPanettiere\u2019s vocals continued to appear across the show\u2019s subsequent soundtrack releases throughout its six-season run, giving fans the opportunity to hear her evolve musically alongside her role as Juliette. Though Juliette was a fictional character, the songs Panettiere performed reached real audiences and the actual Billboard<\/em> charts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/hayden-panettiere-music-career-five-facts-nashville\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
