CHARTS: Jonas Brothers burnin' up competition

Jonas Brothers

The Jonas Brothers land their first No. 1 album this week, selling 525,000 copies of "A Little Bit Longer" making it the third-highest debut of the year behind Lil Wayne and Coldplay. All the publicity from their rollout pushed their previous eponymous album back into the Top 10, meaning they now have three albums in the Top 10, as their soundtrack from "Camp Rock" holds at No. 8.

"Longer" pushes the soundtrack to "Mamma Mia!" down to No. 2, while Kid Rock's "Rock and Roll Jesus" moves to No. 3. Miley Cyrus' "Breakout" drops to No. 4 and Sugarland's "Love on the Inside" slips to No. 5.

On the singles charts, Rihanna holds on to No. 1 with "Disturbia," though she faces a tough challenge from David Archuleta, whose debut single "Crush" debuts all the way up at No. 2. Chris Brown's "Forever" slides down a notch to No. 3, as does Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" at No. 4. Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" rebounds to No. 5.

Look for the Jonases to hold on to the top spot next week. Whether they make it three in a row will depend on how strong Levittown's Donnie Klang and the reunited New Kids on the Block campaigns will be.
