Just when we thought that High School Musical was dead & buried, along comes this... :evil:

[DaBoi]

lol i've never watched any of those High School Musicals but Glee is fun

[LC3]

yah its not the same thing at all. HSM is original disney music versus covers that GLEE puts out. Its not the same thing.

I'd missed the fact that this was already in the charts last weekend:

UK Top 200 Singles

99. (160) Don't Stop Believin' - Glee Cast

So it's looking at a leap of over 80 places this weekend!!!

The Glee Cast look set to have two albums within the top ten this Sunday, with its Season One Volume 2 (Epic) likely to top the chart.

Glee – The Music – Season One – Volume 2 – is set to scale the charts from a position outside the top 75, after selling more than 15,000 units yesterday (Monday). Volume 1, which was at nine last week, should remain within the top ten this Sunday.

While Glee: The Music – Season One – Volume 2 debuts at number two on the album chart, no fewer than 13 new Glee Cast tracks were released as singles. Seven make the Top 200. The TV phenomenon raises its 2010 tally of Top 40 hits to seven as Cyndi Lauper cover True Colors debuts at number 35 (8,558 sales). Of the rest, only Imagine (number 57, 4,593 sales) makes the Top 75. For the record, that’s 45 Glee Cast singles so far this year, of which 38 have made the Top 200, and 18 the Top 75. Sales now total 1,105,982.

[jordi_89]

that 1,105,982 it's the total singles sales in the UK for all the Glee singles? if so, that's huge

[Hafo]

No idea if it's only a US release at this stage...

Wonder how it'll do chartwise - the first couple of seasons usually have the highest charting releases.

#1 Glee Cast – Power Of Madonna – 97,973

Any thoughts that Glee Cast’s barrage of hits was abating can be dismissed with the news that the all-singing, all-dancing TV troupe land themselves five new chart entries this week - all in the Top 75.

Since they made their chart debut in the very last chart week of 2009, they have landed 65 songs on the Top 200 and 33 in the Top 75 – but this is the first time they’ve had five debuts in the Top 75 in the same week.

Their new hits are: Total Eclipse Of The Heart (number nine, 23,274 sales), Run Joey Run (number 27, 9,536 sales), Ice Ice Baby (number 52, 4,456 sales), Physical (number 56, 4,033 sales) and You Can’t Touch This (number 63, 3,661 sales).

For all their success, Total Eclipse Of The Heart is only Glee Cast’s third Top 10 hit, following Don’t Stop Believin’ (number two) and Halo/Walking On Sunshine (number nine).

Penned by Jim Steinman, it is the first song to be a hit in each of the last four decades. It was a 1980s hit for original artist Bonnie Tyler, reaching number one in 1983. It was subsequently a number five hit for Nicki French in 1995, and got to number 28 in a version by Jan Wayne in 2003.

Tyler’s recording has prospered in the digital age, and re-entered the chart at number 57 in 2008 after being used in a TV advertising campaign for Cadbury’s Dairy Milk. It returns to the Top 200 again this week (number 94, 2,499 sales), partly because of Glee and partly, one suspects, because of the new Mastercard TV advert in which Tyler appears as an angel, and sings “Turn around, Neville” and similar parodic phrases. It has sold a total of 116,928 downloads since OCC started plotting their sales at the end of 2004, and sold upwards of 600,000 copies in physical form.

While Glee Cast’s success with Total Eclipse Of The Heart isn’t surprising, few would have expected their version of Run Joey Run to chart so well. David Geddes’ original was a US number four hit in 1975, it fell short of the chart here. Glee Cast’s cover provides their second highest charting new entry this week, easily beating their covers of three very well known Top 10 hits.
