Tonight’s ‘Glee’ Fall Finale Goes Out With Songs From Second Soundtrack

Even thought Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg and Timbaland all released high profile albums this week, the top-selling record at the iTunes store is currently Glee: The Music, Volume 2. The collection, which features songs from the hit TV show sung by the program’s charming cast, features favorites like “Proud Mary,” “Smile” and “Jump” (the Van Halen song, not the Kris Kross tune). The soundtrack album arrives just in time for tonight’s episode of “Glee,” which is the mid-season finale (which features the group’s trip to sectionals). The show won’t return to the Fox lineup until April 13 (after the new season of “American Idol” wraps up — apparently they can’t have too much singing on the air at once), but you’ll still have two albums’ worth of songs from the cast to tide you over until then.

When cast members Lea Michele and Cory Monteith stopped by the MTV Newsroom a few weeks ago, they talked about their favorite tunes that ended up on Volume 2, including a classic by a former Beatle. “We have ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon,” Michele said. “I don’t think you could top that, really. I’m doing ‘Crush’ by Jennifer Paige, a total ’90s throwback. It’s cool because it’s only on the show for two seconds, but on the album you get the whole song.”
