Mouse Ears All Over the Chart

Compiled by Dave Itzkoff (NY Times)

Teenage and tween-age listeners had plenty to squeal about this week as Demi Lovato, above right, and other Disney-spawned acts were widely represented on the Billboard album sales chart. Ms. Lovato, the 16-year-old Disney star, opened at No. 1 with her second album, “Here We Go Again,” which sold 108,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (The week’s best-selling album was Michael Jackson’s “Number Ones,” which sold 154,000 copies but is considered a catalog album and isn’t tracked on the Billboard 200 chart.) Farther down that chart, Ms. Lovato’s Disney colleague Miley Cyrus was No. 5 with the “Hannah Montana 3” soundtrack (54,000 copies); the “Hannah Montana” movie soundtrack and the Jonas Brothers’ “Lines, Vines and Trying Times” also placed in the Top 20. The Top 5 was rounded out by Daughtry’s “Leave This Town” (RCA) at No. 2; Maxwell’s “BLACKsummers’night” (Columbia) at No. 3; and the 31st installment of the “Now That’s What I Call Music” compilation at No. 4. Jordin Sparks, the 2007 “American Idol” winner, was No. 7 with her second album, “Battlefield” (Jive).

JoBro Gossip! Tween Fans Rejoice as Joe Jonas Tears Up Over Split With Camilla Belle

You can hear the squealing already. Joe Jonas is officially back on the market.

The 19-year-old singer and actress Camilla Belle have called it quits, JustJared.com reports.

“Yes, it’s true,” Belle’s rep said. “[Joe and Camilla] have broken up. There is no third party involved, and they care deeply about each other and will remain friends.”

Despite the many fans watching him on stage, the singer teared up during two of his songs at Sunday night’s Jonas Brothers concert in Detroit.

Teenage heartache must for hard for Jonas, because he took the liberty of changing the lyrics of two of his band’s hits during the show.

According to PerezHilton.com, when the singer sang the song “Much Better,” the words were changed from “Now I see everything I’d ever need is the girl in front of me” to “girls in front of me,” suggesting he is moving on from Belle.

Jonas first met Belle, 22, last year on the set of the Jonas Brothers music video “Lovebug.”

Their romance created an uproar among his tween fans because Jonas broke up with singer Taylor Swift soon after meeting Belle.
