The kids in McKinley High School's glee club, New Directions, might not be the most popular, but "Glee" is unquestionably a runaway hit. Since its premiere in May 2009, "Glee" has exploded as one of the most popular hours on TV, earning an astounding 19 Emmy nominations in its first season. In addition to the show's staggering success, "Glee" 's songs have been heating up the music charts, with 25 tracks on the 2009 hot 100 list, a hit-rate topped only by the Beatles when they had 31 hits in 1964.
"Don't Stop Believin' " pays tribute to the glorious mash-up of music, comedy, drama and social commentary that has put "Glee" and its band of misfits in the spotlight. Written by gleeks extraordinaire Erin Balser and Suzanne Gardner, the book is jam-packed with:
