LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Miley Cyrus may sing about her favorite Jay-Z song coming on in her No. 1 hit "Party In The U.S.A.," but the star has revealed that she's never heard a song by the hip-hop icon.

"I've never heard a Jay-Z song," she said in a video posted to her official site, MileyWorld.com.

Unlike past Miley hits, she explained, the track wasn't hers.

"I don't know, I didn't write the song - I picked that song because I needed something to go with my clothing line," she explained of her collaboration with Wal-Mart and designer Max Azaria, adding she didn't realize the track would take off. "It turned out for the best. It was really unexpected."

The young rocker said the pop track was a curveball from her usual style.

"I don't listen to pop music, that's not my style of music," Miley said of the track. "I'm really blessed for it to have done as well as it has."

While she may not be a Jay-Z buff, Miley also weighed in on an artist she has heard - dad Billy Ray Cyrus.

Asked if she would ever cover his hit "Achy Breaky Heart," she said no.

"That's like covering a Jay-Z song," she said.

    So who has talent? Miley or Taylor Swift? Taylor is waaaay above Miley! Talented, respectful, much prettier! Taylor will be around for awhile.... Miley? She needs to go back to school and learn her manners, and read books, too, while she's at it.

    What???? One would think if you are about to sing a song with Jay Z's name in it you would at least listen to his stuff. You know someone is going to ask you whatys your fav Jay Z song. Why would she ever tell that??? Makes her look dumber!

    Man, I really liked everything about Miley, I keep saying don't turn into a Britney, but if you haven't listened to a Jay Z song, you have no business using him in your song like that! I'm not a big fan of Jay Z, but he speaks the truth on all his interviews. Your losing respect, and if that is the road you want to take, you will lose a fan.

    I do not know of any dumb rednecks that know who Jay Z is. Did I just call Miley a dumb redneck? I guess I did.

    I neither like nor dislike Miley. She is just kind of there. But you know the more I hear her talk the more the scales are tilting towards the dislike.
