Notes

  1. ↑ "The Climb", written by Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe, and featured in Hannah Montana: The Movie , was originally nominated but was withdrawn by Walt Disney Records because it had not been written specifically for a film as the category's eligibility rules require. NARAS released a statement thanking Disney for its honesty and announcing that "The Climb" had been replaced by "All Is Love", with the fifth highest initial votes. [24]
