A Little Bit Longer is the third studio album by the American boy band the Jonas Brothers, and their second album released under Hollywood Records/managed under Sony/ATV Music Publishing.[1] It was released on August 12, 2008. The first single off the album was "Burnin' Up", released on June 20, 2008.
Album information
The title of the album, "A Little Bit Longer," comes from their song of the same name, which Nick Jonas wrote about his dealings with having Type One Diabetes. The album artwork was released by Team Jonas, the Jonas Brothers' official fan club, to fan club members via an e-mail newsletter on June 20, 2008. Like their last album, this one also features CDVU+ technology[2] that includes more than 30 pages of bonus features with exclusive video performance, 60 printable photos, complete album lyrics, downloadable graphics, and hidden links. In addition, the packaging of the album is made from 100% recycled materials.
On August 5, 2008, A Little Bit Longer was put up on MTV's The Leak[3] where one could listen to the album before it was released. The brothers performed their second single, "Lovebug" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
In a recent UK interview, the Brothers said that they hope to release the album in the UK by the end of 2008 or early 2009. It was recently confirmed that the album will be released in the UK on September 29, 2008, with Burnin' Up released as the first single the week before.

Singles
"Burnin' Up" is the album's first single and was officially released via radio stations on June 20, 2008.[4] Also on that same day, the music video for "Burnin' Up" premiered on Disney Channel, following the premiere of Camp Rock.
On June 24, 2008, iTunes announced that it would be releasing four songs from A Little Bit Longer, one roughly every two weeks.[5] Each song featured a new podcast episode from the boys. The release schedule was as follows: June 20, 2008 for "Burnin' Up"; July 15, 2008 for "Pushin' Me Away"; July 29, 2008 for "Tonight"; and August 5, 2008 for "A Little Bit Longer." Due to strong digital sales, the latter songs briefly charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Tonight" becoming the highest charting song at #8. After the album's release, many album tracks charted on various Billboard charts.[6]
The second official single "Lovebug" was revealed at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards[7], where they had performed on the backlot. It was also their first performance at the Video Music Awards. An offical release date is yet to be revealed.

The four singles that had been released on iTunes: "Burnin' Up", "Pushin' Me Away", "Tonight", and "A Little Bit Longer" all charted on iTunes' "Top Songs Chart". The album is also considered as the highest first week sales debut at number one for a Hollywood records artist in the U.S. and Worldwide.
