As you know my daughter runs the largest Jonas Brothers fan site on the web. I help her out with the technology aspects of it, and in the process I have been gaining a lot of insight into the tween & teen entertainment industry.
As part of this experience I watch how the fans are supporting the Jonas Brothers, who if you didn't know are a fast growing musical talent signed by various Disney holdings like Hollywood Records, and the Disney Channel. In addition, they get a huge amount of play by Radio Disney. The band is also trying to break into the mainstream and getting a lot of play on Top 40 radio like Z100 in NYC, and recently KIIS FM in LA. One of the hardest places they have been trying to break into is the TRL countdown on MTV.
Getting on TRL appears to be a big issue here. There definitly is no lack of fans voting for the Jonas Brothers. The fan base is huge, so why no major headway ...
