Yes, you heard correctly.
The cast of hit tv-show Glee have overtaken British superstars The Beatles in the ammount of entries held in the Billboard Hot 100. In total, the actors from Glee have had a total of 75 entries in the chart, four more than Lennon & co., with six new entries from the cast entering the chart in the latest run-down alone.
Although they are yet to overtake the king of music, Elvis Presely, who holds 108, with James Brown following with 91, The EDGE can’t help but ask what this means for modern music?
Albeit, the cast of Glee has their followers, and undoubtedly many would defend the actors in their bid for chart success. Indeed, many people not partial to the TV series can see the musical merit in their endeavours to smash the charts. But can these actors, whose songs are largely cover versions of well-loved tracks, really be more deserving of musical accolades than The Beatles? We let you decide…
Check out the next issue of The EDGE released 15th October, for more on the Glee debate.
