Along with duties in R5, Ross Lynch also starred in the hit 2013 Disney Channel Original Movie Teen Beach Movie, and was featured on the soundtrack album which hit the #2 spot on the iTunes overall album chart and #3 on the Billboard 200 chart. The soundtrack spent five consecutive weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold over 400,000 albums to date.
