Disney Channel's "Descendants" proved to be a hit on the televisions after gaining positive ratings and reviews. The musical fantasy achieved another milestone after its soundtrack topped the Billboard chart in the second week of August. Taylor Swift and British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran remain strong in the top five.
"Descendants" is a sequel to many iconic Disney stories. The film centers on the four teen offsprings of Disney's most celebrated villains. The teens are Carlos the son of Cruella de Vil, Jay the son of Jafar, Evie the daughter of the Evil Queen, and Mal the daughter of Maleficent.
The film showcases the acting and musical prowess of Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart, Sofia Carson and Dove Cameron.
