Billboard 200 Update: Jonas Brothers Top Chart with 525K

A Little Bit Longer coverBelow expectations but still huge, the Jonas Brothers new album A Little Bit Longer debuts at the top of the Billboard 200 with over 525,000 copies sold. A Little Bit Longer is their first album to go to #1, and is currently in third place for the biggest sales week of the year, behind Lil' Wayne's Tha Carter III and Coldplay's Viva La Vida. It should be noted that they outsold Miley Cyrus' album Breakout, which is quite ironic since they reached their massive levels of success while on tour with her an alter-ego Hannah Montana.

At #2 is the Mammia Mia soundtrack, which sold around 109,000 copies this week, bringing its six-week total to 686,000. Kid Rock's album, Rock N Roll Jesus comes in at #3 with 101,000 copies sold, after 45 weeks on the chart. The large sales are likely being stimulated by sleeper hit "All Ssummer Long", which Kid Rock won't release as a digital single.
