Disney's Shake It Up: Break It Down soundtrack seems to be another in the Disney Channel's long line of music releases in their relentless pursuit of the next High School Musical, Camp Rock, Hannah Montana, or Jonas Brothers phenom.

The album is a compilation of tunes performed on, or used as background music in, the Disney tween comedy dance TV series Shake It Up, starring Bella Thorne and Zendaya. Selena Gomez is the featured performer amongst a host of singers on Shake It Up: Break It Down, and delivers the lead off single "Shake It Up."

What do these two performers have in common? Check out Selena Gomez's single "Love You Like a Love Song," the chorus of which pretty much follows the chord sequence of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive."

Although Gomez's song probably won't have the staying power of Gaynor's 1978 anthem, "Love You Like a Love Song," the second single from Selena Gomez and The Scene's When the Sun Goes Down, is ultimately a catchy pop diversion.

And check out "Shake It Up," Selena Gomez's contribution to Disney's Shake It Up: Break It Down soundtrack, released on Walt Disney Records in July 2011.

Everyone under the sun seems to have released an album of Christmas tunes, and this Canadian YouTube sensation has thrown his yuletide hat in the ring, as well. Justin Bieber's Under the Mistletoe is a fair offering of Christmas-related originals and classics, full of slow jams, fingersnap snare drums, and multitudes of vocal rolls.

Songs like "Only Thing I Ever Get for Christmas" and "Christmas Love" are cute enough, but "Silent Night" is difficult to sit through and "Drummer Boy" is just plain weird. Under the Mistletoe won't win over any new Justin Bieber fans, but his devotees will love it.

Speaking of The Muppets and their soundtracks (see below), Disney's The Muppets: Original Soundtrack falls slightly flat when compared to Disney's The Muppets film and to 1979's The Muppet Movie soundtrack. Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie's tunes are cute enough, but they just don't measure up to Paul Williams and Kenny Asher's classic compositions for The Muppet Movie.

Check out this review of Disney's The Muppets: Original Soundtrack and see what you think.
