Chances are if you have a tween at home, you've heard of the newest disney sensation. No, I'm not talking about Miley Cyrus. I'm talking about the band that her ex is in. The Jonas Brothers, a group of three brothers, have become the next Britney Spears of the world. Their new debut album, "A Little Bit Longer" has taken the spot of #3 on the biggest debut album sales. Not only that, but they have also landed TWO of their albums in the top 10 albums at the same time. The only two other albums to sell more than the Jonas Brothers is Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" which sold more than 1 million in it's first week, and Coldplay's "Viva La Vida, which sold about 720,000 in it's first week. The last group to have two albums in the top 10 at the same time was another teen hit, 'N Sync, way back in 1999.
The Jonas Brothers, featuring three brothers named Kevin, 20, Joe, 18, and Nick, 15, are one of the biggest hits around the world, featured in the KCA's and as well as the MTV Video Music Awards, which will be airing September 7th. They also landed a spot on the front cover of the Rolling Stones magazine. They have come out with three albums, and as well have starred in the disney movie, "Camp Rock" which has it's movie soundtrack at number 8 on the top 10 albums.
