About the CD
Release dates
The original report from Tommy2.net[2] cited that the initial February 10, 2009 release date had been pushed back to August 4. An advertisement card included in the Disney Channel Playlist showed that it would have a July 7 release date (see picture below). The Playlist was published in June 2009.
On June 26, the release date was pushed back to September 22, 2009.[3] This had been confirmed on the Walt Disney Records website.
Import versions of the soundtrack are listed on the Amazon.com and EMI Music UK. Both originally would be available on September 14, 2009, but were changed to September 29 and September 28, respectively.
Artists
The artists credited with each song vary between in-universe characters and real-world singers. If a character is seen singing the song in an episode, they receive the credit as the singer. For example, Ferb is credited for "Backyard Beach".
For other songs like "Truck Drivin' Girl", Phineas and Ferb participated in the song, but were not the lead singers. Danny Jacob is credited as the singer.
