Jonas Brothers, meet jumpable shark.
That's the buzz after flaccid first-week sales of "A Little Bit Longer," which, according to Billboard, fell short of the big numbers. The projections were for 600k-plus and as many as 725, but they came in at 515,000.
In the perspective department, Lil' Wayne did well over a mil in the first week, but Jordin Sparks -- she won "American Idol," memba? Her grand total -- 119,000.

3. Again TMZ only shows one side of things. The side that cuts down everything else so they make themselves feel better. If you want to read the entire story about this go to Billboards site, http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003840660.
3rd biggest sales of the year.
2 concurrent top ten albums since 1999 (albeit was In Snyc...but we got JT from that).
And these guys are kids! It may not be the music we all like, but you have to props to the guys for what they've accomplished.

8. According to Nielsen SoundScan, A Little Bit Longer sold just over 525,000 copies during week one, making it one of the year's best-selling debuts. On top of that, the Jonas Brothers' 2007 self-titled effort returns to the Top 10 on next week's Billboard albums sales chart, at #10, after selling another 31,000 units, marking the first time a group has done so since 'NSYNC back in late 1998; that's when that act's 1998 self-titled effort claimed the #2 spot with 535,700 sold, and 1998's Home for Christmas rounded out the Top 10 with 265,600 copies scanned.
But there's more! Not only can the Jonases — who will perform at the VMAs on September 7 — claim the nation's best-selling and 10th best-selling albums, but the "Camp Rock" soundtrack, which features three tracks from the boys, holds the #8 position, selling around 50,000 copies — meaning there are three albums featuring their songs in next week's Top 10.
And there's even more! Thanks to A Little Bit Longer, the Jonas Brothers have eclipsed the first-week sales generated by fellow Disney Channel juggernaut Miley Cyrus, who stars in the "Hannah Montana" series and films. Miley's Breakout sold nearly 371,400 copies to debut at #1, or close to 150,000 fewer copies than the Jonases. Breakout sold another 84,700 copies last week, and falls two spots on the chart to #4.
not too shabby..
