I know you’ve all been wondering if the Jonas Brothers squash the machine that is Zac Efron. Well, they can … kind of. Camp Rock averaged 8.9 million viewers on Friday night. That’s more viewers than High School Musical, which had 7.8 million for its debut. However, 8.9 million pales in comparison to last summer’s 17.2 million (ZOMG!) viewers for High School Musical 2. And it proves that the Efron is unstoppable and more bankable. In fact, High School Musical 2 is the most watched non-sports program on cable.

Joal Ryan of E! Online points out that Camp Rock could still beat High School Musical overall, “The Jonas Brothers are far bigger stars than Efron or any of his costars were in January 2006, when the first HSM premiered.” He goes to say that the real test of Camp Rock will be if it has the ability to rule the ratings in the inevitable many, many reruns.
