Are You A Gleek?


What airs every Tuesday night and manages to have at least five songs on the Top 10 on iTunes by Wednesday?  Everybody's favorite high school sing-a-long Glee.
We bit through with High School Musical's trilogy, with a rumor of a fourth, now we're obsessed with another teenage drama story of misfits and love triangles all through song.  Glee is one of the most top rated shows out today at Number 2 to NBC's "America's Got Talent," according to the LA Times.

They're a show that does remakes of famous bands and singers.  So why do they always manage to beat top artists?  May be it's caused by their enthusiasm or blend of different genres.  Maybe because each episode has an average of seven popular songs.  The tribute episodes to Madonna last season and Britney Spears this current season gave them a push in the Billboard Top 40, however, "due to the availability of new releases accompanying each new episode of "Glee," a relatively small number of the cast's recordings have spent more than one week on the list"

Artists have turned down the opportunity to have their songs remade on the FOX TV show.  With it's popularity blooming, more and more artists are considering grabbing the chance to get their music listened to , according to a Rolling Stone article. The royalty checks don't hurt either.

Love it or hate it, Glee is here to stay.
