The cast is second behind The Beatles for most chart appearances by a group act in the Billboard Hot 100's history, and holds the record of sixth overall among all artists, with sixty-nine appearances. The cast has sold over thirty six million and over eleven million albums worldwide. The series' cover versions have also had a positive effect on the original recording artists, with sales of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" increasing by 189 percent after the song was covered in the Glee episode "Showmance".
The series features covers of numerous songs sung on-screen by the characters. Musical segments typically take the form of performances, as opposed to the characters singing spontaneously, as the intention is for the series to remain reality-based. Murphy is responsible for selecting all of the songs used, and strives to maintain a balance between show tunes and chart hits, as: "I want there to be something for everybody in every episode. That's a tricky mix, but that's very important — the balancing of that." Song choices are integral to script development, with Murphy explaining: "Each episode has a theme at its core. After I write the script, I will choose songs that help to move the story along."
Glee is choreographed by Zach Woodlee, and features five to eight production numbers per episode. Once music rights are cleared, songs are arranged and pre-recorded by the cast. Woodlee constructs the accompanying dance moves, which are then taught to the cast and filmed. Numbers can take several weeks to prepare, depending on complexity. Each episode costs at least $3 million to produce, and can take up to 10 days to film as a result of the elaborate choreography.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a lovely way of saying how much you love me,
You're having my baby,
What a lovely way of saying what you're thinking of me
I can see it, your face is glowing,
I can see it in your eyes, I'm happy you know it
You're the woman I love, and I love what it's doing to ya,
You're having my baby,
You're a woman in love and I love what's going through ya,
The need inside you, I see it showing,
Whoa the seed inside you,
Baby do you feel it growing,
Are you happy you know it,
That your having my baby,
Your the woman I love, and I love what it's doing to ya,
You're having my baby,
You're a woman in love and I love what's going through ya,
Didn't have to keep it, wouldn't put you through it,
You could of swept it from your live,
But you wouldn't do it, no you wouldn't do it.
And your having my baby,
Your the woman I love, and I love what it's doing to ya,
You're having my baby,
You're a woman in love and I love what's going through ya,

Your the woman I love, and I love what it's doing to ya,
And you're having my baby,
You're a woman in love and I love what's going through ya,
Yeah you're having my baby
The Glee Cast's song "Having My Baby" is a love ballad about a man expressing his joy and gratitude to the woman he loves for carrying and giving birth to their child. The song opens with the repetition of "You're having my baby" serving as both a statement and an endearment to his partner. He sees the joy and excitement in her eyes and finds it beautiful. He expresses his love for her and how much he admires what the pregnancy is doing to her, and how the need she has for this child is evident.
The lyrics continue with the man acknowledging that his partner didn't have to keep the baby and that it wouldn't have been easy for her, but she chose to. He praises her for this decision and is grateful that they will soon have a baby together. As the song concludes, it repeats the chorus, emphasizing the joy he feels in having a child with the woman he loves.
While the song's lyrics are sweet and romantic, they also have been critiqued for being overly possessive and putting the emphasis on the man's desires instead of the woman's. Despite the critique, it has been covered by several prominent musicians and used in various movies and TV shows.
