Jonas Brothers Number One Album Fuels Ticket Sales

By Annika Johan

The latest Jonas Brothers' album is out, and it's already the most talked about album in America! "Lines, Vines and Trying Times" debuted at #1 in the Billboard Top 200 Chart, and now it's time for the Jonas Brothers to bring the music to your hometown.

The brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin got their true big time start on the Disney Channel, and together they've broken the eight million sales mark worldwide for their first three albums. Lead vocals and rhythm guitar is provided by Nick, who's voiced helped the group land their first record deal. Despite his youth, Nick has been performing since the age of 7. Nick has also been linked to Miley Cyrus in a very public on-again, off-again relationship.

Middle brother Joe, who shares lead vocals with Nick, had a high profile romance with Taylor Swift, and finds himself a tabloid fixture--when all he wanted to do was be a comedian. Some guys have all the luck. Kevin, the eldest Jonas, plays lead guitar and sings backup, and was chosen as one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive in 2008.

Although the brothers originally signed to Columbia, they were extremely unhappy with the low promotion of their debut album, and were able to switch labels. After an appearance on the blockbuster Disney Channel show, Hannah Montana, they were a smash success and their album rocketed to a top five place on the charts. The episode with the Jonas Brothers was a smash hit for the Hannah Montana series as well.

From there, their star only ascended, with their third album, "A Little Bit Longer," peaking at #1 in 2008. During their reign at the top, the Jonas Brothers also starred in their own Disney Channel reality show, titled "Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream." It documented their concurrent tour, all while showing a more intimate side of the band, their friends and family.

The band also appeared in "Camp Rock", a Disney Channel television movie that was extremely successful and one of the highest rated TV movies. The soundtrack to the movie enjoyed even more success, rising all the way to the top 5 on the Billboard charts. The crowing achievement for the year was an appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine.

During the spring, the Jonas Brothers toured South American and managed to sneak in a few European tour dates, and then took some time to put together their next smash hit. They released "Lines, Vines and Trying Times" in June and as they took the stage for their 2009 world tour, the album was sitting at number one.

In late June, the tour started in front of 50,000 fans at the new Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, and is now moving north to Western Canada. From Canada, the tour winds its way back towards the east coast, before heading to LA, where the Jonas Brothers will host the 2009 Teen Choice Awards on August 10th. After once again making their way back east and into the South during the rest of August, the band will take a 2-month break to recharge before tackling Europe during October and November. - 18418
