Their album, which sold a total of 200,000 units on its first day of release, now bows with a remarkable 525,000 copies. Another record set by the band is that they have also rounded at number eight with soundtrack album of "Camp Rock" with 50,000 copies on sale. On top of that, the boys' 2007 self-titled effort also rises to number ten at the same chart after selling another 31,000 units.

They also become the second sibling group to top the chart since Bee Gees reigned supreme in the 1970s.
