co-production with Sony Music, features original songs performed by Victoria
Justice and the show’s ensemble cast. The newest collection of songs from the
show, “Victorious 2.0: More Music from the Hit TV Show,” debuts on June 5 and
features the brand-new single, “Make It In America.” The show’s first
soundtrack, “Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show,” debuted at the no. 5 spot
on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart and features the show’s theme song “Make
It Shine,” as well as the hit singles "Beggin' On Your Knees,"
