Kevin Jonas Joins Brothers Joe & Nick in Hitting Billboard Charts Solo

All three Jonas brothers have now reached Billboard’s charts as soloists, as Kevin Jonas joins Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas for the distinction, earning his first solo entry thanks to his new single, “Changing.”

Released Nov. 20 via PKJ/Hollywood Records, the track debuts at No. 5 on the Digital Song Sales chart (dated Dec. 6, 2025) with 4,000 downloads sold in the United States Nov. 21-27, according to Luminate. The song also helps Jonas debut at No. 5 on Emerging Artists, marking his first solo appearances on Billboard’s rankings.

Though long established as a member of the Jonas Brothers, Kevin now boasts the same bragging rights as Joe and Nick in charting on his own.

Nick became the first Jonas sibling to appear on a Billboard chart, debuting on Dec. 11, 2004, with “Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer).” The song entered at No. 31 on the Adult Contemporary airplay chart that week and climbed to No. 14 three weeks later. It also reached No. 8 on both Hot Christian Songs — all before the Jonas Brothers made their debut as a trio.

The threesome arrived on the charts in August 2006 when its debut album, It’s About Time, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 91. Six months later, the group’s “Year 3000” hit No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. Jonas Brothers have charted 26 songs on the Hot 100, including three top 10s: “Burnin’ Up” (No. 5 peak in 2008), “Tonight” (No. 8, 2008) and the one-week No. 1 “Sucker” (2019). They have also landed 12 albums on the Billboard 200, including three No. 1s among eight top 10s: A Little Bit Longer (2008), Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009) and Happiness Begins (2019).

Nick Jonas returned to Billboard’s charts as a soloist in 2009 with “Who I Am” (credited to Nick Jonas & The Administration). The set’s title track debuted and peaked at No. 73 on the Hot 100 in December 2009, while the album reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in February 2010. He has earned eight solo Hot 100 hits, including the top 10 “Jealous” (No. 7, 2015), and four solo albums on the Billboard 200, three of which hit the top 10: Who I Am (No. 3), Nick Jonas (No. 6, 2014) and Last Year Was Complicated (No. 2, 2016).

Joe Jonas has also carved out a chart history of his own, both as a soloist and leader of DNCE. His first solo chart appearance came on July 5, 2008, with his Demi Lovato duet from Camp Rock, “This Is Me,” which debuted at No. 11 on the Hot 100 and peaked at No. 9. He’s added three more solo Hot 100 entries, including Disney-related tracks “Gotta Find You” (from Camp Rock) and “Make a Wave” (Disney’s Friends for Change). He has also charted both of his solo albums on the Billboard 200: Fastlife (No. 15, 2011) and Music for People Who Believe in Love (No. 24, this June).

DNCE arrived in 2015 with its smash “Cake by the Ocean,” which debuted on the Hot 100 that November and peaked at No. 9 the following March. The group followed with “Toothbrush” (No. 44, 2016) and charted twice on the Billboard 200, in 2016, with its EP Swaay (No. 39) and then full-length DNCE (No. 17).

With Kevin now charting solo, the Jonas Brothers join a lineage of sibling groups whose members have individually landed solo chart entries. It’s a list that includes the Beach Boys (Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson), Bee Gees (Barry and Robin Gibb), Chloe x Halle (Chloe and Halle Bailey) and the Jackson 5 (Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael, Randy and Tito; siblings Janet, LaToya and Rebbie have also charted solo).

Kevin, Joe and Nick’s youngest sibling, Franklin Jonas, has yet to debut on a Billboard chart, but that may change soon. He has released more than a dozen tracks on DSPs, most recently “Break the Levee” on Nov. 26.
