A LITTLE BIT HIGHER
The Jonas Brothers’ Hollywood album, A Little Bit Longer, debuts at #1 this week with a total of 515k, the third-highest of the year behind Lil Wayne and Coldplay and the 12th best since January 2007.
That’s more than enough to turn back last week’s chart-topper, Decca’s Mamma Mia! soundtrack, which falls to #2 with 108k.
Atlantic’s Kid Rock keeps on going “All Summer Long,” as his Rock N’ Roll Jesus album is up 14% to 103k, good for #3.
Along with A Little Bit Longer, Hollywood’s Miley Cyrus (#4) is one of four Disney Music Group titles in the Top 10, including Camp Rock (#7) and the Jonas Brothers’ debut (#10).
Mercury Nashville’s Sugarland (#5), Cash Money/Universal Motown’s Lil Wayne (#6), Capitol’s Coldplay (#8) and Def Jam/IDJ’s Rihanna round out the Top 10.
Machete/Interscope’s reggaeton ruler Daddy Yankee (#13), Epic’s Yung Berg (#18) and Legacy’s New Kids on the Block greatest hits (#21) are the other Top 50 newcomers, while Universal Republic’s Flobots re-enters at #50.
Other positive gainers include Camp Rock (+9%), J Records/RMG’s Leona Lewis (#22-15, +3%), Mercury’s Duffy (#25-19, +4%), Reprise’s Disturbed (#26-20, +5%), Atlantic’s Jason Mraz (#31-24, +7%) and Hear Music’s John Mellencamp (#48-43, +5%).
Hitting retail this week are Atlantic’s Staind, The Firm/EMI’s Ice Cube, Suretone/ Interscope’s Shwayze and Disney’s Cheetah Girls.
Next week, Interscope’s The Game and Roadrunner’s Slipknot are in the streets.
