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

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

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

"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

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.
