The Glee cast also holds the record for most singles to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart surpassing Elvis Presley, the Beatles and James Brown. The Fox series Glee is now in its fifth season and since its debut has been described as “a bona fide cultural phenomenon.” Glee accolades include three Golden Globe Awards, a Peabody Award, four Emmy Awards, two Grammy Award nominations, two platinum and five gold albums, more than 43 million songs and more than 13 million albums sold worldwide. They can record in the William McInley High School studio, hear from William Schuester himself and deck out their studio with Glee themed instruments.
