The Jonas Brothers are an American pop-rock band. Formed in 2005, they gained popularity from their appearances on the Disney Channel television network. They consist of three brothers: Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Nick Jonas.
They starred in the 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock and its 2010 sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. They also starred in their own Disney Channel series Jonas, which was rebranded as Jonas L.A. for its second season.
The band have released five albums: It’s About Time (2006), Jonas Brothers (2007), A Little Bit Longer (2008), Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009), and Happiness Begins (2019).
In 2008, the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award at the 51st Grammy Awards and won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the American Music Awards.
Six years following their split, the group reunited with the release of “Sucker” on March 1, 2019. The song became the 34th song in history to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the Jonas Brothers’ first number-one single on the chart.
Why did Columbia drop the Jonas Brothers?
Columbia Records dropped the brothers after “It’s About Time” had poor sales, but the band signed with Disney’s Hollywood Records in 2007.
In January 2007, the music video for “Year 3000” premiered on Disney Channel and proved to be a huge hit for the band.
The Jonas Brothers continued covering songs for Disney soundtracks and found commercial success.
In August 2007, they released their self-titled album “Jonas Brothers” after releasing music videos for their singles “Hold On” and “S.O.S.” While promoting their new album, the brothers guest-starred on “Hannah Montana” and presented an award with Miley Cyrus at the Teen Choice Awards.
In January 2008, the Jonas Brothers kicked off their three-month When You Look Me in the Eyes Tour with Rooney as their opener.
After a European tour with Avril Lavigne and Boys Like Girls, the Jonas Brothers filmed the Disney movie “Camp Rock” with Demi Lovato.
