* SignatureSong: With the general public, the most likely candidate would be "Come Clean", no doubt helped by being the theme song to the reality series ''Series/TheHills''. "Wake Up" or "So Yesterday" can also be considered in the running; "Why Not?" from the soundtrack to the Lizzie [=McGuire=] movie could also be said to qualify.

Consider the common thread between all of those people, which is also shared by Hillary Duff. You're not really a "spiritual successor" if it's because you came down the same assembly line, rather than active intent.


* SpiritualSuccessor: Hilary has so many successors, like Music/MileyCyrus (who is a big fan of Hilary and cited her as one of her major influences), Music/BridgitMendler (who has the same qualities and looks as Hilary), and even her channel's rival equivalent, Creator/MirandaCosgrove (who is literally the network's answer to Miley) that to list all those who owe their success to Hilary would overload this page.
** Music/SelenaGomez deserves a special mention. She was discovered after auditioning for the lead role in a spin-off of ''Series/LizzieMcGuire''. She actually did get the role, but the project was cancelled. Even so, she later did get to play a counterpart to a Hilary Duff character in Film/AnotherCinderellaStory. She also said she grew up a huge fan of Hilary and cited her as a major influence.

* SacredCow: By some variation, Disney Channel fans will consider her the ''only'' early Disney Star besides Raven-Symone that didn't fade into obscurity, something that sadly happened to ''later'' Disney stars (Aside from Music/SelenaGomez, Music/DemiLovato, Ashley Tisdale, the Sprouse Twins, and somewhat with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. And, of course, Music/MileyCyrus).

While some of her songs are innocent enough, others have lyrics that young children might not understand, such as the following:
** Little Voice (When I see you I admit/I start to lose my grip and all of my cool...all I really want is you/ But there are some things a girl won't do)
** Metamorphosis (Come on and give me a kiss/Come on, I insist)
