Glee still sits on top of the Billboard chart

The television series enjoys a view from the top with its special soundtrack releases.

The third volume of songs from the hit show Glee, The Music: Volume 3, puts the kibosh on the Stone Temple Pilots ambition to reach the number one spot on the charts after nine years out of the limelight.

Songs on the Glee soundtracks are really nothing more than covers of songs performed by actors from the series. The show’s popularity only continues to grow which means more theme soundtracks are likely.

The Glee soundtrack sold 63,000 copies last week, just 1,000 more than the Stone Temple Pilots’ eponymous album. This is the second week in a row at the top for Glee’s third release and likely its last. Jack Johnson’s new album will no doubt dethrone it next week.

Young Canadian sensation Justin Bieber continues his excellent performance. My World 2.0 sits in third spot, selling more than 50,000 more copies last week.
