The musical act that has scored the most songs on the Billboard Hot 100 is not Elvis, Michael Jackson, or The Beatles.
It's the cast of Glee, reports the AP, which is an amazing achievement considering the act first appeared on the charts only 18 months ago.
In that time, Glee has achieved the record of having more songs on the 52-year old Billboard chart in history -- a total of 113 hit songs.
Glee debuted six new songs on the chart this week alone, pulling five songs ahead of Elvis Presley, who had 108 hit songs.

And I couldn’t identify a single one if my life depended on it.
/getting old
I have never even heard of the group.
Id so hit that Lea chick
But who will remember five years from now?
8 artists, versus two soloists. Stacked and meaningless comparison.
Remember what?
Actually you probably could - lots of them are covers from the 80s.
In fact, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” topped at #9 when originally recorded by Journey in 1981.
Glee’s cover reached #4.
I think it’s a TV show or stage show (something like that)...
It probably helps that they do cover songs of past Top 100 hits.
It's a TV show of a glee club singing covers of popular songs. The wife's into it, and I have to admit they're pretty good. Their covers of many modern singers are better than the originals, such as Bruno Marx and Katy Perry. Their cover of Queen fell flat though. The chorous for Bohemian Rhapsody was good, but they blew it on the Freddy Mercury parts.
Oh. Ok. You know more than I do about it.
RE: I have never even heard of the group.
Congratulations, you don’t waste your time watching TV and missed one of the biggest hits in years.
This too will soon become passe...
funny that, eh?
Ok. I think I get it now.
they blew it on the Freddy Mercury parts. ?
I don’t know about anyone else, but when I see the cast pictures on the ads (as you showed), I don’t see “Glee”, I see “Gee what a Loser I am!”
But that’s just me.
I’ve watched bits and pieces of Glee a few times. The musical numbers aren’t bad, but the bits in between them are intolerable.
