The Glee takeover has begun - after only a few weeks, 14 tracks are already in the Top 100 of the singles chart, including the Glee casts recording of Dont Stop Believin' which reached Number 1 on iTunes Ireland.

The US TV show has become both a total sensation since airing last year and is now the most talked about programme of the year enjoying blanket media coverage.

With a unique mix of twisted humour, a cast of amazingly diverse characters, a fantastic genre defying soundtrack and bursting with show-stopping musical numbers with a plot that defies any usual rules, GLEE is a total must see and listen delight.

Co-Creator and Nip/Tuck writer Ryan Murphy defines the shows title GLEE as malicious optimism, which sums up the tone of the show perfectly. A prime time comedy featuring all singing and dancing social outcasts, pregnant cheerleaders, idiot jocks and wannabe divas to name a few, it has also caused a massive buzz by the unique way it has sold its music on a weekly basis two tracks at a time on the back of every episode.

The songs covered in the show are equally eclectic, with the cast performing songs by the likes of Amy Winehouse, Kanye West, Rhianna, Queen, SaltnPepa, Heart and even tracks from Cabaret and Wicked.

A complete revolution in US music sales, Dont Stop Believin', the Journey hit sung by the cast in the first episode, exploded on iTunes selling over 500,000 copies and entered The Billboard Hot 100 at No. 4.

Since then, with new tracks being released on a weekly basis on the back of each new episode, the "GLEE" Cast have sold over 3 million downloads in the US alone.

The first soundtrack album released on Columbia Records, GLEE: The Music Volume 1 has also been a huge success debuting at no 4 in the Billboard album chart in November and looks set to follow suit in Ireland.
