Album information

The title of the album, "A Little Bit Longer," comes from their song of the same name, which Nick Jonas wrote about his dealings with having Type One Diabetes. The album artwork was released by Team Jonas, the Jonas Brothers' official fan club, to fan club members via an e-mail newsletter on June 20, 2008. Like their last album, this one also features CDVU+ technology[2] that includes more than 30 pages of bonus features with exclusive video performance, 60 printable photos, complete album lyrics, downloadable graphics, and hidden links.

"Burnin' Up" is the album's first single and was officially released via radio stations on June 20, 2008.[4] Also on that same day, the music video for "Burnin' Up" premiered on Disney Channel, following the premiere of Camp Rock.

On June 24, 2008, iTunes announced that it would be releasing four songs from A Little Bit Longer, one roughly every two weeks.[5] Each song featured a new podcast episode from the boys. The release schedule was as follows: June 20, 2008 for "Burnin' Up"; July 15, 2008 for "Pushin' Me Away"; July 29, 2008 for "Tonight"; and August 5, 2008 for "A Little Bit Longer." Due to strong digital sales, the latter songs briefly charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Tonight" becoming the highest charting song at #8. After the album's release, many album tracks charted on various Billboard charts.[6]

The second official single "Lovebug" was revealed at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards[7], where they had performed on the backlot. It was also their first performance at the Video Music Awards. It was officially released on September 30, 2008.

Charts and sales

According to Nielsen SoundScan, the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 selling 525,402 units in its opening week [8] The album also charted as #1 on the Billboard Comprehensive Albums, Top Digital Albums, Top Internet Albums, and Tastemakers.[9]

All 12 tracks from the standard edition CD have charted on either the Billboard Hot 100, the Bubbling Under Chart (essentially positions #101-125) or the Pop 100. The four singles that had been released on iTunes: "Burnin' Up", "Pushin' Me Away", "Tonight", and "A Little Bit Longer" all charted on iTunes' "Top Songs Chart". The album is also considered as the highest first week sales debut at number one for a Hollywood records artist in the U.S. and Worldwide.

According to Nielsen SoundScan, A Little Bit Longer remained at number one in its second week on the Billboard 200 (August 19-August 26) with about 147,000 copies sold,[10] In its third week, it fell to number four on the Billboard 200, with about 80,000 copies sold.[11] It has since sold 936,208 in seven weeks. Also, the album helped the boys break records by being the first artist/artists ever to have three albums on the Billboard top 10 chart: Jonas Brothers (self-titled album) at #10, Camp Rock Soundtrack at #8 and A Little Bit Longer at #1. The last band to set the record was N'sync with two albums at the same time.
