Really, you should be listening to music every day, but thanks to Twitter, Monday has become the best day of the week to discover new songs, show some love to the tune currently dominating your iPod playlist and quietly judge the listening habits of your closest friends. Yes, it’s #MusicMonday, one of Twitter’s most enduring trending topics. Hence “MTV News’ #MusicMonday,” a weekly look at the songs your favorite stars are currently crushing on.

This week, Ashley Tisdale shouts out the latest hit from Miley Cyrus.

24-year-old actress and pop star Ashley Tisdale has already had plenty of chart success herself (both as a solo artist and as a member of the cast of “High School Musical”), so she knows her way around a killer pop hook. So on this #MusicMonday, Tisdale will be cranking up the latest single from 17-year-old phenom and fellow Disney Channel actress-turned-pop-maven Miley Cyrus.

“[I love] ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ by Miley Cyrus. I said ‘Music Monday’ because it’s Miley. M-M-M!” Tisdale told MTV News’ Jocelyn Vena at the upfront presentation for the CW network. “I think it’s great. It’s got a great beat, it’s got a great hook. I love it.”

Cyrus’ latest hit (which has only just begun its assault on the charts) is from her forthcoming album of the same name, which is due out on June 18. According to Cyrus, it will be the last pop album she produces for a while, as she wants to focus on movies (perhaps an excellent decision, as her latest film “The Last Song” was a major box office hit).

Our conversation veered wildly off topic before it actually began, as you’ll see. And even after we got back on track, Jason kept things light while talking about his Home Depot-esque Haftorah portion, Ashley Tisdale music and how bad breakups are extremely beneficial.

PopWrap: “Holy Rollers” covers a subject rarely seen on the big screen.
Jason Fuchs: We’re hoping to do well with Hasidic Jews and drug dealers

PW: Smart, Hollywood rarely focuses on those two markets.
Jason: They’re the two that Hollywood tends to miss. They talk about four quadrant, I think those are two important ones “Holy Rollers” will hit.

PW: It’ll be like after “Sex and the City” came out and suddenly people realized “whoa, women do go to movies.”
Jason: Exactly. We are hoping to the be “Avatar” of Hasidic drug dealing films.

PW: Then why aren’t there more blue people?
Jason: [laughs] Well, it was a low budget film. We couldn’t afford that many.

PW: Fair enough. So tell me, what drew you to this project?
Jason: I come from a Hasidic background, I am only one generation removed. And I’d never seen that community portrayed in such a realistic way. I thought it really captured that world in a special way. What’s also interesting is that while it explores the darker side of that world, it also ends up being a reaffirmation of that world. That to me was very important.
