"(Largely due to the availability of new releases accompanying each new episode, only 14 of the "Glee" cast's recordings through last week have spent more than one week on the Hot 100. Through the Oct. 16 ranking, the cast's titles have totaled 105 cumulative chart weeks. The Beatles' Hot 100 catalog amounts to a combined 617 chart weeks. The Beatles additionally boast 34 Hot 100 top 10s, compared to the "Glee" performers' one)."
Not to take away from the accomplishments of Glee - but the fast rise, fast fall nature of their chart entries makes their # of hits a little less impressive. Has a lot less to do with talent than it does with sheer fan devotion.

I LOVE Glee, but this is stupid to compare it to The Beatles. It's totally different.
Glee.
Congrats to them all, it's a great show but youre exactly right, the Beatles were putting original songs on the charts, not covers of already smash hit songs, so no need to hate.
Eh, we can talk later, when Glee have 19 #1s.
I bet you, me, and other non celebs will have a song charted if we make an appearrance on that show and sing ANYTHING, especially after their popularity on kids and teenagers.
Oh well, congrats.
