Metro Station is a pop band that formed in Los Angeles, California . In late 2006, the band signed a recording contract with Columbia/Red Ink . They are perhaps best known for their Top 10 Billboard hit single " Shake It " from their self-titled debut album . Popularized mainly by their co-frontman Trace Cyrus , half brother to Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus , this music act has experienced a recent boom in their record sales

Metro Station released their self-titled debut studio album in September 2007. The album had two singles released, "Kelsey" and "Control". Although both singles failed to make the charts, with higher sales of the album both became more popular. It wasn't until mid-2008 when the release of the single " Shake It " grabbed the band a significant amount of commercial exposure, peaking in the top-ten of three US charts. The song peaked at #3 on Hot Digital Songs , #9 in the Pop 100 , #10 in the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #20 in the Hot Dance Airplay chart. The success of the song also affected album sales, the album charting nine months later in 2008 at #43 in the Billboard 200 , #1 Top Electronic Albums and #2 in the Top Heatseekers .
