LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Miranda Cosgrove, the star of Nickelodeon's "iCarly," has her sights set on conquering the music world.

The tween TV sensation sings four songs on the album "iCarly iPlaylist," which is due in stores on June 10 via Columbia Records. The project is part of a venture between the kids cable channel and Columbia's Sony Music Label Group parent.

The remaining 10 tracks -- all by such teen-friendly Sony artists as Good Charlotte and Avril Lavigne -- were chosen to represent "songs that would appear on Carly's iPod," Sony Music Label Group chairman Rob Stringer said.

One of the Cosgrove tunes is the series' theme song, "Leave It All to Me," which recently charted on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

"ICarly," in which Cosgrove plays a teenager who produces Webcasts from her attic, is the No. 3-ranked program on broadcast and cable TV in kids 6-11 and tweens 9-14, behind Fox's "American Idol" and Nick's "Zoey 101," according to Nielsen Media Research.

Cosgrove, 14, might be known to older folks for her role as a David Geffen wannabe in the Jack Black comedy "School of Rock."
