From Katie – MUSIC
At one PA’s FYE store (“For Your Entertainment”) store yesterday night, and ‘A Little Bit Longer‘ was number 1 in the top 20 (pretty sure they mean sales at that store), the Camp Rock soundtrack was number 6, and the Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus best of Both Worlds concert DVD was number 7.

From Alana – MAGAZINES
In the Times magazine with Barack Obama on the cover, if you go to page 67 there is a whole page talking about the Jonas Brothers and their music.

From Jonathan – PROJECT
Got a good Jonas story or something Jonas-inspired? Well read below on how you can add it to a collection someone is making!

To Whom It May Concern:

I’m Jonathan, a fellow JB fan, and I’m trying to collect a bunch of Jonas-inspired stories written by JB fans themselves. These stories of course have to be true or non-fiction; having occurred to the writer personally. After collecting these stories I have the intent to publish the collection and have it available for people to read. It’s fascinating to see how JB has changed other people’s lives. I know a lot of us have inspiring stories, this is one way to see how JB has changed everyone into better people or how JB has saved people from hurting themselves.
I know this is asking a lot and you’re not privileged to do anything if you don’t want to. But I could really use the help. As a Jonas Brothers fansite, you guys have a lot of daily visitors and I’d be able to get more entries this way. I’ve tried contacting other fansites but they just ignored me all the same but I hope you guys give me a chance. If you could post a small section about it in your updates that would be great. Again if you don’t have the time then please just ignore this e-mail altogether. I know sometimes we all have our own things to deal with. However if you are going to post something about it then please tell them to email me at jbstorycollection@gmail.com and I will send them further information.

If you have any questions about this then please don’t hesitate to e-mail me. I’ll reply as soon as I can.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Despite a huge drop-off from the gaudy numbers it posted last week, the Jonas Brothers begin a second week at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 with “A Little Bit Longer.” The Hollywood set sold 147,000 units in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, 72% less than its debut total of 525,000…

“Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus become kids’ obsessions” – Philly News – Read More

YOUR DAUGHTER would rather be grounded for a month than miss a Jonas Brothers concert. That’s why their concert at Camden’s 25,000-capacity Susquehanna Bank Center tonight is sold out.
Still pulling your hair out because you paid 10 times what any sane person would consider reasonable so that your kid could attend one of Miley Cyrus’ sold-out “Hannah Montana” concerts last year?

Parents may not fully understand, but to a nation of adolescents, Cyrus and the Jonas boys aren’t just pop acts. They’re 24/7 obsessions. To a legion of businessmen presiding over a slumping industry, they are trend-defying sales juggernauts. And to culture-watchers, they are the latest in a series of teen-pop acts dating back to Ricky Nelson who serve as a generation’s musical rite of passage.

The latest Jonas Brothers album, “A Little Bit Longer” (Hollywood), is shaping up as one of the year’s best-selling rock releases. It debuted at No. 1 last week with 525,000 discs sold, following up its 1.3 million-selling 2007 self-titled predecessor, which rose to No. 10 – the first time any artist has had two albums in the top 10 simultaneously in nine years…

Los Angeles (E! Online) – Forget OxyClean, it’s the Jonas Brothers who have the real Staind-fighting power.

Staind was making a play to top the charts with The Progress of Illusion, thereby joining U2, Metallica and the Dave Matthews Band as the only modern rock bands to land four consecutive No. 1 albums. Instead, Staind got wiped out by the clean-cut Jonases.

The siblings’ A Little Bit Longer sold 147,000 copies for the week ended Sunday, per Nielsen SoundScan, to hold their place at the top of the Billboard 200. In contrast, The Illusion of Progress sold just 92,000 copies at No. 3, trailing Kid Rock’s Rock N Roll Jesus at No. 2 with 101,000 discs.

Following a massive 716,000-copy chart-topping debut for 2001′s Break the Cycle, Staind scored two more No. 1s with 2003′s 14 Shades of Grey and 2005′s Chapter V, equaling Van Halen, Pearl Jam and, more recently, Disturbed as bands with three consecutive No. 1s. Metallica and DMB both did it four times, while U2 claims five straight chart-toppers…
