21 years ago, Hilary Duff released “Wake Up”.
(July 12, 2005)

Released as the lead single for her first greatest hits album “Most Wanted” by Hollywood Records, the song was a departure from Hilary’s signature teen pop-rock sound. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, “Wake Up” achieved commercial success. At just 17 years old, the song reached the top 20 in Australia, Europe, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Scotland, Spain and the UK. In the United States, the song debuted at number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the week’s highest debut, due to high digital download sales. The music video, directed by Marc Webb, peaked at number one on MTV’s Total Request Live (TRL).
