Joe Jonas Hits New Career Peaks With His First Solo Album In More Than A Decade
Joe Jonas may be best known as one-third of the Jonas Brothers, the chart-topping sibling trio behind a string of bestselling albums and massive pop singles. But in between his stints with the band, he's also found success with other projects — most notably as the frontman of DNCE, the act that rocketed into the top 10 on the Hot 100 with 'Cake by the Ocean.'
Jonas has released only two full-lengths under his own name, and neither has reached the same level of acclaim or success as his group efforts. That changes – at least in some regards – this week with Music for People Who Believe in Love, his latest solo project.
Music for People Who Believe in Love debuts on multiple Billboard tallies this frame. The set opens at No. 3 on both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts. It also kicks off its time at No. 24 on the Billboard 200, and it marks a new high solo for Jonas on almost every one of those tallies.
With Music for People Who Believe in Love, Jonas scores his first-ever appearance on the list of bestselling vinyl titles in the U.S. He also earns his inaugural top 10 placement on the Top Album Sales ranking. According to Luminate, the collection sold just over 17,100 copies once it became widely available.
This frame, Jonas manages the highest debut among all new releases on the Top Album Sales chart. Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem leads for a second stint, while Music by Playboi Carti reappears in the runner-up spot.
Jonas's latest easily outpaces the peak set by Fastlife, his solo debut from October 2011. That set reached a high of No. 15 on the Top Album Sales chart and vanished after just two weeks.
Although Music for People Who Believe in Love doesn't surpass Fastlife on the Billboard 200 — where the earlier of the two projects also peaked at No. 15 — the fact that the title begins its time on the roster inside the top 40 after little success in the way of singles is noteworthy.

In a cover story with Harper's BAZAAR published on Tuesday, Aug. 19, the pop star reflected on her relationships before meeting her fiancé, 35. Lipa, 29, who met Turner through the poet and singer Mustafa, discussed how incredible falling in love has been for her. 'I love love. It is a beautiful thing,' she told the publication, adding. 'It's a really inspiring thing. You find yourself so intensely falling all the time in the best way possible.' Added Lipa: 'That vulnerability is so scary, but I feel so lucky to get to feel it. I've spent a lot of time being guarded or protecting my heart, and so I'm letting go of that feeling and just being like, 'Okay, if I'm supposed to get hurt, then this is what's going to happen.' I have to just allow love.' Of her relationship with Turner, the "Training Season" musician said she was "happier than ever." "So it feels like I'm doing a disservice by not talking about it," Lipa said of their romance. She noted that her personal life is "very vulnerable" as a public person. "It's not like I don't want to share it," said Lipa. The "New Rules" hitmaker confirmed her engagement to Turner in a June interview with British Vogue. 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting," she told the outlet. Lipa also told the publication that her engagement ring was made after Turner spoke with her best friends and her sister. 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me," she said. "It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' At the time, according to Lipa, the pair hadn't begun wedding planning. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period," Lipa said. "I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" The "Levitating" artist didn't understand the "weight" of getting married before it happened. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling," said Lipa. Lipa and Turner initially sparked romance rumors in January 2024 when they were first spotted together at the Masters of Air afterparty following its London premiere. At the time, the duo were captured in a video slow dancing. Read the original article on People
