Unless you see Aly & A.J. as teen confessional - I think their music is very personal, but they're not playing the role of singer-songwriter taking you on their emotional and intellectual journey through relationships and poetry and stuff - teen confessional tanked this year. The mediocre Cheyenne Kimball had mediocre numbers on Radio Disney, though she did get a little play on Top 40. There's the promising Jordan Pruitt, but she's only had a couple singles and they didn't put up good numbers either, and it's not clear what direction she'll go. In the teenpop market, Ashlee's fading and Lindsay's nowhere. The new Avril got 12 Disney plays in its first week, and I don't see it rising far ('cause it's not very good). Right now Disney movie and TV tie-ins are the big thing: Hannah Montana and High School Musical stars, w/ Aly & A.J. maintaining their presence and a really interesting story - that I've failed to get any of you to pay attention to - being the non-Disney-contracted boy-rock-band Jonas Bros., whose cover of Busted's "Year 3000" has been the song that's most consistently challenged Hannah Montana at the top of the Disney charts over the last half of the year. And meanwhile, their album got perpetually delayed by Columbia, who then dropped the band shortly after the album was released.
