Radio Disney Jams are a series of CDs are various artists compilations of music featured on Radio Disney, a children's radio network.
In 1999, Radio Disney released their first CD, Radio Disney Kid Jams, containing the top songs from Radio Disney's playlist. Over time, Radio Disney released more volumes of the Kid Jams series. (Commonly known as "Jams Vol." since there was not enough room to put "Kid" on the jams sequels.) Radio Disney also released two Holiday Jams CDs, an Ultimate Jams with select songs from Jams 1-6, Jingle Jams (Series 2004 & 2005), Pop Dreamers, Move It, Party Jams from their tenth birthday concert, a 15th Birthday Edition, and a 2015 awards show edition.
The latest volume, Volume 12, was released on March 11, 2010, while the latest specials (15th Birthday Edition and Radio Disney Music Awards) were released on August 16, 2011, and April 21, 2015, respectively. There is usually a one to two-year gap before the next volume or album is released, leading to belief that the series, especially the original numbered series, has been discontinued.
