Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers losing sales sizzle
(writing and reporting by Dean Goodman)
The perky smiles on Disney’s fresh-faced teen stars are probably not so wide these days.
A month after the Jonas Brothers movie suffered a disappointing bow at the box office, Miley Cyrus ended her impressive run of chart-topping albums on Wednesday.
The 16-year-old starlet’s latest release, “Hannah Montana: The Movie” — the soundtrack to her upcoming feature headlining debut — opened at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
More ominously, her sales were a fraction of the opening stanzas for her previous releases. The album sold 139,000 units during the week ended March 29, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
