Artist:Jonas Brothers f/Big Rob
Song:Burnin' Up
Album:A Little Bit Longer
When the Jonas Brothers first surfaced, they were immediately compared to Hanson because it was another group of brothers aimed at teenage girls. But Hanson never had the Disney Channel machine behind them. And that was the difference. The Jonas Brothers had a good initial run with hits like Burnin' Up. After a hiatus, they have returned and they may be even bigger. Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas are from Wyckoff, NJ. Joe performed on Broadway as a child. They started writing together and signed with Columbia in 2005. When the 2006 album It's About Time didn't meet sales expectations, Columbia dropped them in 2007. Why did they fail? There were management changes at Sony and they just fell through the cracks. The Jonas Brothers signed with Disney owned Hollywood Records and they were an immediate success by appearing on Disney Channel shows like Hannah Montana. They recorded three albums for Hollywood. The most successful album was A Little Bit Longer in 2008. It was produced by John Fields who produced other Disney acts like Miley Cyrus. The Jonas Brothers wrote all the songs. Burnin' Up reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It would turn out to be their biggest hit single. The rapper Big Rob is their bodyguard. Eventually the grind of constant touring wore them out. They left Hollywood Records in 2011. Joe and Nick Jonas released solo albums. There were plans to record and tour. But a planned tour was cancelled in Oct. 2013 and they announced a split. Some of the songs recorded for the proposed album appeared on the 2013 album Live which they self released. They reunited in 2019 and signed with Republic Records. The single Sucker was their very first #1 hit and the album Happiness Begins returned the Jonas Brothers to the top of the Billboard Hot 200. They may be bigger now than when they were with Disney. Here's the video for Burnin' Up by Jonas Brothers featuring Big Rob. Take note of the celebrity cameos.
