In addition to the Jonas Brothers’ # 1 debut in the US,  Lines, Vines and Trying Times debuted # 1 in Canada, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Central America.  Jonas Brothers hosted and performed their hit singles “Paranoid” and “Burning Up” this weekend on the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto.  Lines, Vines and Trying Times also debuted top ten in the United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, New Zealand and Ireland.

Jonas Brothers have built an astounding presence on line, and boast 1.2 million Facebook friends, 1.3 million mySpace friends and 1.3 million Say Now friends.  On YouTube, they are the # 1 most subscribed musician channel and # 5 overall.  It is no surprise that Lines, Vines and Trying Times catapulted to # 1 on iTunes on its first day.

Jonas Brothers created a media frenzy leading up to the release of their new album.  They held weekly Facebook chats with their fans, taking their questions, and previewing songs from the new album.  They performed live on The Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America in Central Park, Jimmy Kimmel Live from Wembley Arena, and to the largest crowd in history at The Today Show in Rockefeller Plaza.  Jonas Brothers were also guests on Larry King Live, and received 8 nominations for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.  Jonas Brothers also return for their second cover story in ten months for Rolling Stone with the new issue hitting stands this Friday.  Their cover from last year was the magazine’s highest selling issue of the year.

Critics have taken note of their authentic musicality.  The New York Times stated, “On ‘Lines, Vines and Trying Times’ the Jonas Brothers continue to specialize in the smartly straightforward: neatly constructed pop-rock songs with shades of the Beatles and the Brill Building.”  Billboard’s review stated, “’Paranoid’ furthers the brothers’ evolution as craftsmen of catchy and original-sounding hooks.  This songs shines on its own musical merit.”

Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 sold nearly 1 million tickets in its first week on sale, and this Spring, they played to over 200,000 fans in South America. They recently returned from Europe, playing three sold out shows in Madrid, Paris and London.  Jordin Sparks and Honor Society are guests on the sold out tour, which includes 5 sold out NY area shows and 3 sold out Staples Center shows in LA.

“Jonas Brothers have become a true global touring powerhouse,” said Michael Rapino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Nation, the producer of the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009. “They are in the midst of a hugely successful run of North American stadiums and arenas and then will move on to top arenas in cities across Europe in the fall. The growth of their worldwide fan base has been nothing short of explosive and the momentum we have created together will enable us to continue to develop new territories around the world as we move forward with this unstoppable band.”

Earlier this year, Jonas Brothers received their first Grammy nomination, and have won a slew of awards from around the world, including an American Music Award, as well as multiple Kids’ Choice and Teen Choice awards.  Worldwide, Jonas Brothers have sold over 8 million albums, and have garnered 36 gold and platinum album certifications.
