Jonas Brothers Can't Keep It Up

Posted Aug 20th 2008 11:54AM by TMZ Staff

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.

TMZ ALWAYS PUTS A NEGATIVE SPIN ON ANY OF THEIR STORIES...EVER NOTICE THAT? JONAS BROTHERS HAVE THE NUMBER ONE ALBUM IN AMERICA - A SOLD OUT CONCERT TOUR - SECOND IN CONCERT SALES ONLY TO MADONNA. THESE GUYS ARE ONLY STARTING OUT AND IMPROVING EVERY STEP THEY TAKE. THEY ROCK. GO JONAS BROTHERS!
