solo artist, age 13, to receive a nomination for an MTV Video Music
Award in the show's 21 year history. The VMAs air live Sunday,

MTV announced the nominations yesterday and JOJO garners her first
award nomination in the "Best New Artist In A Video" category for
her debut video, "Leave (Get Out)." Also nominated in the category
are: Jet, Yellowcard, Maroon 5, Kanye West, and The Darkness.

Billboard's Monitor Chart, beating the previous record held by
Britney Spears who was 16 when she went #1.

of "JOJO." The CD debuted on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart at #4
and received RIAA GOLD Certification for sales over 500,000 in the
