We hate to say it, but the facts speak for themselves: the solo career of Joe Jonas is off to an abysmal start.

In its first week of sales, Joe's first-ever solo album, "Fastlife," sold just 18,000 copies, landing him in 15th place on the Billboard 200. By comparison, the last CD Jonas compiled with his brothers, "A Little Bit Longer," moved 525,000 copies in the same time period. Ouch.

Nick Jonas, meanwhile, also jumped into a solo career last year (with his band, The Administration, that is) and sold 82,000 copies of "Who I Am." Double ouch.

"Transforming a charmed teenhood career into a viable adult one is possibly one of the entertainment industry's most difficult feats," wrote Julianne Escobedo Shepherd in Billboard last week. "For every Justin Timberlake, there are 10 former boy-band members whose post-group disinterest led them to hang up their hats."

Can Joe rebound from this rough opening week? Or will we next see him on stage with his siblings? Stay tuned, THGers. Stay tuned.

Joe Jonas is all grown up. Are you paying attention, Taylor Swift?

The singer, whose first solo album comes out on October 11, has released the official music video for "Just in Love." And it's hot stuff, featuring the artist, a beautiful girl in Paris and a bathtub.

"It’s supposed to be passionate and romantic,” Jonas told E! News. "I feel it’s a video that might shock people a little bit... I’ll just say it’s a little bit older than anything I’ve done before.”

Joe Jonas has released the official studio version of "Just in Love" one of the first solo efforts from this talented young artist.

It would be exciting enough news under any conditions, but now we have this possibility to consider: might he be singing about Taylor Swift? Those two might get back together.

“I am very excited to premiere my new single ‘Just In Love’ for you guys," Joe wrote on his website today. "This is a song I wrote when I was going through a relationship with somebody. She was arguing with me, and all I could do was say ‘Listen, I love you, but we don’t need to go through this.’ So, this this is called ‘Just In Love.'"

The tour will conclude in New York on October 6.... as Joe will then hop on a plane for Sweden and re-join Britney on the European leg of her Femme Fatale tour on October 16.

Somewhere during this time period, he might even sleep for a few hours.

Growing up, Joe Jonas had a poster of Britney Spears on his wall.

Now, the 21-year-old will be joining his childhood crush on tour.

"It's a dream come true," says Jonas, who will open for Spears and promote his upcoming solo album Fastlife (due out October 11) on October 16.

Joe J.

"She was the first girl I ever had a poster on my wall of, and her album was the first CD I ever bought," says Jonas. "It's so funny to think I had that on my wall and here I am about to perform with her. She's a very sweet lady."

A lady who knows how to work the pole!

He'll join Spears's Femme Fatale tour on August 5 for one date in the U.S., then open her nine shows in Europe, with performances in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

"I'm really looking forward to being part of this," he says.

We're happy for Joe and the fans who will get to see him live the dream. The only thing that would be better? Maddie Briann opening for Britney.

Swoon! Nick Jonas singing The Edge of Glory. On my way to press conference in Taichung, listening to it. So dreamy! X

All grown up, Joe Jonas has released his first-ever solo music video.

With his album due out on September 6, the young singer sits heartbroken below, surrounded by deserted suburb, torn over a past relationship.

“The idea I had was to use a house as a metaphor of being stuck in my own head because the song is obviously about the end of a relationship,” Joe said about the video’s concept. “I said 'okay, if you were stuck in your own head, and you see everything that reminds you of this person, you want to get rid of everything [that reminds you of this person].'"

Joe Jonas isn't merely single in his personal life. He's also about to release his first single as a solo artist.

Co-written by Joe and Chris Brown, "See No More" will first hit the radio on June 3, followed by a digital sale on June 13.

"It's an emotional song that I've been trying to go with for awhile now," Jonas told E! News over the weekend. "I feel like, a lot of times for artists it's important for them to just write out how they're feeling in their music, and I was able to do that in this song."

Where did the inspiration for the track come from? "Different things I was going through and the place I was at in my life," he says. Could this include failed relationships with Taylor Swift, Ashley Greene and Demi Lovato? Jonas wouldn't say.

His solo album drops on September 6.
