'Glee' Cast Tops the Beatles for Billboard Record

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 6th 2010 09:38PM

It's official: Rachel Berry, Finn Hudson, Will Schuster, Sue Sylvester and the rest of the 'Glee' cast have more appearances on the Billboard Hot 100 chart than any other non-solo act in history--including the Beatles, the Associated Press reports.

The cast of Fox's musical hit show added six more debuts to the chart this week bringing their grand total to 75 songs--four more than the Beatles' 71. Last week's Britney Spears episode helped push the cast past the legendary British foursome.

While the 'Glee' cast has the most appearances on the Billboard Top 100 for a group, Elvis Presley still has the most appearances overall with 108 songs. James Brown is second with 91 and 'Glee' rounds out the top three.

Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin hold the fourth and fifth spots, respectively. The Beatles hold the sixth spot. Other artists in the Top 10 include Elton John, Lil Wayne, Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z.

Overall, the 'Glee' cast has sold 2.8 million albums and 11.5 million downloads. Just give these guys a few more seasons and they might find themselves in the number one spot!

Sorry, even though the "Glee" cast is several people that does not qualify them as a "Group" certainly not a BAND as the Beatles were. The Beatles were an organically formed group of MUSICIANS who wrote, played and sang their own songs! Glee was created by a Corporate TV network. Not even in the same category!

Thats kind of like the band the monkeys if
you where around then they where not real
a TV show with sound tracks by other artists.
It's like one of those Disney groups nothing there.
I don't remember any billboard hot top 100 chart
back in the beatles day.

By JMark

I can tell you are too young/ or too old to remember "The Monkees" because you can't spell the group's name correctly. It's "The M-O-N-K-E-E-S" not "The Monkeys".

How many Glee stories can PopEater run in one day? ENOUGH ALREADY!

By Tiffany

Did anybody else notice they didn't name Lea Michelle? Isn't she on this show (I don't watch, I hate musicals)

By Glee Obsessed

They did name Lea Michele her name on the show is Rachel Berry, and they named her first... considering she is the Main Person in the show.

By Apostate

What IS it with this national "Glee" obsession?

By jeffrey lebowski

i have a suggestion for kanye's new album title: "Gayfish" or "Fishsticks"...

By Goovnbooze

Aren't most of the songs they sing just cover songs? Great, we have rewarded no talent kids for singing karaoke....way to keep up the status quo America.

no talent? Have you seen the show?? about half of them have major musical backrounds!! Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison are Broadway vets!! do a little research before you make a narrow minded statement like that!

By Yeah Right

Uh huh, yeah, right...I'm sure in 100 years the music world will be honoring the corporate-formed cast of GLEE versus the miniscule contributions from the band that changed the world.
