Glee is bigger than the Beatles!

Wow. Who'd thunk?   The Beatles were bigger than God, but Glee has surpassed the Beatles. Glee has had 75 hits listed on the Billboard top 100.

Caveats: The Billboard Hot 100 isn't everything. And it isn't everything it used to be. Billboard Hot 100 does not necessarily mean song sales. The Beatles are way ahead of Glee on that. The Glee version of Don't Stop Believin' hasn't quite gone platinum.

But still, it's pretty impressive that in a few short months, Glee has managed to place 75 songs on the Hot 100 list. That beats out the Beatles, who "only" put 71 songs there. Not quite up to Elvis and James Brown (108 each), but still pretty impressive.

There are some who say that Glee is just karaoke with a plot. Those are perhaps the same people who say that American Idol is just karaoke with a million people in the audience. Why does everyone seem so interested in putting down karaoke??!!?

I think it's time for the nattering nabobs of negativity to finally admit that karaoke is an art form.
