Columbia Records have set a July 12th release for Victorious, the first-ever soundtrack album from Nickelodeon's hit comedy starring Victoria Justice. Featuring music performed by Victoria and the series' ensemble cast, the album will include the singles "Beggin' On Your Knees" and "Freak the Freak Out," along with the show's theme song "Make It Shine."
The combined sales of these tracks have accounted for well over 800,000 digital downloads to-date. Victorious will also feature music by Elizabeth Gillies, Ariana Grande and Leon Thomas, plus all-new songs that have never appeared on the show.
Victoria Justice recently performed the latest single, "Beggin' On Your Knees," at Nickelodeon's 2011 Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday, April 2. The song was also featured in a brand-new episode of Victorious, airing immediately following the KCA broadcast, which set a new series ratings record with all key demos and ranked as the week's number-two telecast with all kids and tweens on all TV (behind only Kids' Choice Awards).
The half-hour episode drew 6.1 million total viewers. Victoria's video for the track premiered on Nickelodeon on Saturday, March 12. "Beggin' On Your Knees" is available now on all DSPs.
"I can't wait for the Victorious soundtrack to be released," said Victoria. "We have a few really cool songs on the soundtrack that haven't been featured on the show yet. I hope the fans love it!"
"The Victorious album captures the spirit and energy of this great new show whilst providing an important showcase for the exciting talent of Victoria Justice," said Rob Stringer, Chairman, Columbia/ Epic Label Group.
