HAPPINESS BEGINS BEGINS

Based on very early reads, Republic's Jonas Brothers are on track for a boffo #1 bow for their new set, Happiness Begins, which accompanies the documentary about the group now airing on Amazon.

Jonas Brothers (Republic) 325-350k total activity, 285-310k album

Could the Bros challenge labelmate Ariana Grande for the year's biggest first week? Stay tuned.

This is the boys' first full-length in almost exactly a decade; their Lines, Vines & Trying Times debuted at #1 with 255k in late June of 2009.

The lads' "Sucker" has been an outta-the-park smash, hitting #1 at Pop radio and streaming/selling up a storm. It remains in the Top 10 on both the Spotify U.S. and Global charts as well as at iTunes, where the album is #1. Their big ol' tour kicks off in August.

Well have more early numbers for you as soon as the drugs kick in.
