August 7, 2007 – The Jonas Brothers’ Second Album is Released on Hollywood Records
“Cause an empty room can be so loud, there’s too many tears to drown them out, so hold on.”
On August 7, 2007, the Jonas Brothers released their second album, Jonas Brothers, their first release on Disney’s Hollywood Records label. The album reached the number 5 spot on the Billboard 200 chart on its first week of release, and has been certified 2x Platinum since its release. Four singles were released from the album: “Year 3000” (a cover song originally by Busted), “Hold On,” “SOS,” and “When You Look Me in the Eyes.” A repackaged version of the album was released on October 30, 2007, as the Bonus Jonas Edition.
The group, consisting of brothers Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas, had signed with the Disney label in February of 2007, and participated in a few Disney projects leading up to their album release: a reimagining of the song “Kids in America” for the soundtrack for Meet the Robinsons, and a cover version of “I Wanna Be Like You” for the compilation album DisneyMania 5. A tour for the album, titled the Look Me In The Eyes Tour began on January 31, 2008, in Tucson, Arizona.
