BURBANK, Calif., June 27 -- Jonas Brothers are the "boys
of summer" with multiple chart topping successes and four of the top ten
songs on iTunes. The soundtrack for "Camp Rock" debuted at #3 on the
Billboard Top 200, selling 188,000 units since its June 17 release on Walt
Disney Records and ranking #1 on Billboard's Soundtrack and Children's
charts. Their "Burnin' Up" single from their upcoming album, "A Little Bit
Longer," shipped to Top 40 radio this weekend, and is officially the #1
most added song of the week while also setting a new record for most
requests in 24 hours for the Radio Disney request phone lines. On iTunes,
Jonas Brothers have the #1 video ("Burnin' Up"), #1 podcast for their
forthcoming CD, as well as the #1 song ("Burnin' Up"), and #2 album ("Camp
Rock"). On YouTube, "Burnin' Up" is the #1 video of the week. The album
debuts August 12 on Hollywood Records.
The platinum certified band kicked off summer with the premiere of
Disney Channel's Original Movie "Camp Rock" and the premiere of Jonas
Brothers' new single and video "Burnin' Up" premiered on Disney Channel,
ABC and ABC Family to over 12.5 million viewers, and over 2.7 million
viewers on YouTube. This week, Jonas Brothers have four of the top ten
songs on iTunes; #1 "Burnin' Up," #3 "This Is Me" (Joe Jonas duet with Demi
Lovato), #8 "Play My Music," #9 "Gotta Find You" (Joe Jonas). With their
immense popularity it's almost no surprise that the Jonas Brothers replaced
themselves at the #1 position on iTunes from "This Is Me" to "Burnin' Up."
"Camp Rock's" unprecedented multi-platform premiere weekend reached an
impressive 24.5 million unique total viewers, 6.0 million Kids 6-11 and
more than 6.1 million Tweens 9-14 across the U.S. and Canada, and ranked as
the week's #1 TV program in those youth demographics. Disney Channel's
debut of "Camp Rock" ranks as cable TV's #1 entertainment telecast of the
2007-08 season (8.9 million Total Viewers). On ABC-TV, the movie was the #1
summer Saturday entertainment telecast on any broadcast network in almost
six years in Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14, and is ABC Family's #1 movie
broadcast ever in Disney Channel's youth targets. "Camp Rock's" online
streaming event delivered Disney.com's highest daily unique visitor traffic
to its broadband area, and attracted 863,000 video plays.
Their short-form reality series, "Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream" has
reached over 26 million Total Viewers and 11 million Kids 6-11 and Tweens
9-14 since its May 16 premiere on Disney Channel.
Jonas Brothers are currently on tour in Europe, and kick off their sold
out "Burning Up" tour in North America July 4 in Toronto, with special
guest Demi Lovato ("Camp Rock"). The tour will be filmed by Walt Disney
Studios for a 3-D movie to be released in early 2009. Following the release
of their new CD "A Little Bit Longer," the brothers will start production
of their Disney Channel original series "J.O.N.A.S." This fall, Jonas
Brothers will release their first book, published by the Disney Book Group.
With all the activity Jonas Brothers Summer Mania looks like it will morph
into Jonas Brothers Fall Music Mania as well.
