Glee continues to dominate Billboard's top album chart soaring to No. 1

FOLLOWING a remarkable third season pick-up before the end of its first season, and as the cast plays to sold-out houses in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Chicago and New York, Fox’s hit comedy Glee continues to dominate Billboard's top album chart with Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers soaring to No. 1.

Available in both standard and deluxe versions, Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers has sold an impressive 135,748 copies in its debut week.

Glee: The Music, The Power Of Madonna claimed that same No. 1 spot only four weeks earlier.

To date, over seven million Glee songs have been digitally downloaded and over 1.8 million Glee albums sold in the US.

Last week, all four Glee releases occupy slots within Billboard's top 40 best selling albums:
Glee: The Music, Volume 1 at No. 34
Glee: The Music, Volume 2 at No. 40
Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna at No. 20

Tomorrow marks the final episode of Glee’s first season (in the US) and the release date of Glee: The Music, Journey To Regionals, the next official release in the Glee music songbook.

This new mini-album will showcase the cast’s take on such classics as Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, a mash-up version of Journey’s hits Any Way You Want It with Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’, in addition to a special “regionals” version of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.

Other songs in the track listing for Glee: The Music, Journey To Regionals include Faithfully, To Sir, With Love and Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

A fresh and unique programme coupled with talented cast make it easy to see why Entertainment Weekly proclaims “Glee has become the industry’s biggest story of the year”.
