7. Growing Up Jonas
As sons of musical parents, the brothers grow up doing singalongs around the family piano. Each also begins playing guitar,
keyboard and/or drums, and the three oldest boys perform in a
series of commercials for Burger King, Clorox, and Lego. "We
kind of always grew up into music and making music with my
dad," Joe Jonas tells the Houston Chronicle in 2008. "He was part
of record labels and things like that. My mom's an amazing
singer. We kind of grew into it."

8. A Standout Nick
Six-year-old Nick nabs an audition with a talent agent. Soon, he
is singing on Broadway in shows such as Les Miserables and
Beauty and the Beast. "Broadway was really great training for
what we're doing now," Nick tells Minneapolis' Star-Tribune. In
2002, he cowrites a holiday tune with his dad, Kevin, called "Joy
to the World (A Christmas Prayer)," helping Nick land a solo deal
with Daylight/INO/Columbia Records, which releases his solo
debut album in 2004.

9. One Becomes Three
Nick asks brothers Kevin and Joe to rehearse with him at home.
The resulting sound prompts the boys' decision to form a trio.
"We knew we could do this," Kevin tells the New Haven Register.
"The pieces started falling into place." After performing their
song, "Please Be Mine," for Columbia Records, they sign with the
label. "I liked the idea of putting together this little garage-rock
band," Greenberg tells Billboard. They go on to open for the likes
of Kelly Clarkson.

10. The Jonas' Album Debut
Columbia releases the brothers' (Kevin, 18; Joe, 16; Nick, 13) first
album, It's About Time, consisting of tracks they cowrote over
the span of two years with professional songwriters. However,
the album receives little marketing and only sells 62,000 copies.
Soon afterward, the band is dropped from Columbia.

11. The Magic Resumes
Disney-owned Hollywood Records signs the Jonas Brothers to a
recording contract, with Radio Disney and the Disney Channel
serving to expand the band's musical exposure. "Boys identify
with them, and girls love them because they're cute," Radio
Disney executive Jill Casagrande tells the AP. That August, the
Jonas Brothers release their self-titled album offering songs
mostly written by themselves, including hits
like "S.O.S." (No. 1 on iTunes) and "Hold On."
The album debuts at No. 5 on the
Billboard Hot 200 chart, and eventually
goes platinum.

13. Miley Meets the Jonas Brothers
When the Disney Channel airs
High School Musical 2, the Jonas
Brothers perform as guest stars
on the record-setting episode of
Hannah
Montana
that
immediately follows. Keeping it all
in the Disney family, Miley Cyrus
and Nick play coy about their
romance, as the trio is tapped to
open for Cyrus in her concert
tour. By 2008, the "Best of Both
Worlds" tour grosses a staggering
$36 million and launches the
Jonas Brothers even higher into
the pop stratosphere.

14. Joe's AMA Fall
At the American Music Awards,
Joe, 18, trips and falls on broken
glass while performing the
group's hit "SOS" – but keeps on
singing even as he bleeds (right).
Backstage, the singer shrugs it off:
"Just a little blood, but, whatever,
rock and roll." Days later on their
MySpace page, the brothers
write, "Beyoncé stopped us on
our way back to our dressing
room to let us know she thought
we did great. Akon spoke to us on
our way out. He said he would
love to work together. How
amazing!"

15. The Bros 'Rock' Disney
The Jonas Brothers' Disney
Channel movie, Camp Rock
premieres with 8.9 million
viewers tuning in, making it
the most-watched cable
program this year. In the TV
movie, Kevin, 20, Joe, 18 and
Nick, 15, star as teen pop stars
sent to a rock camp, where Joe
flips over Demi Lovato's poor-girlwith-a-booming-voice character.

16. JoBro Covers Rolling Stone
With their third album, A Little Bit
Longer set to debut, the Jonas
Brothers appear on their first
Rolling Stone cover. Upon its
release, the album sells more
than 525,000 copies to debut at
No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200
album charts.

17. 'Burnin' Up' the Grammy Stage
Arguably the Grammy Awards'
oddest performing pair, the Jonas
Brothers & legend Stevie Wonder
duet the pop trio's hit "Burnin'
Up" and Wonder's classic
"Superstition." Although the boys
go home empty-handed (British
singer Adele takes home the
Best New Artist award), Nick
predicted such a result prior to
the ceremony. "We would love to
win, [but] at the end of the day I
think Adele is really amazing," he
told PEOPLE. "I'd give her record
of the year."

20. JoBros No More
Only two days before its kickoff,
the Jonas Brothers cancel their
tour due to a "deep rift within the
band," their spokesman tells
PEOPLE, adding that the decision
had nothing to do with Kevin's
impending arrival. "There was a
big a disagreement over their
music direction." A week later, the
trio also deactivates its Twitter
account, with a source telling
PEOPLE, "They are moving
forward away from the Jonas
Brothers. I think this is the
beginning of the end."
