Murphy selects all music featured within the series himself, with the intent of maintaining a balance between show tunes and chart hits. Songs featured on the show are available for digital download through iTunes up to two weeks before new episodes air, and through other digital outlets and mobile carriers a week later.

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 ā 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.
Don't Stop Believin
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anythin' to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop!
The Glee Cast's rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'" is a passionate and nostalgic piece that tells the story of two people from different backgrounds, but with similar desires for something more. The song begins with the introduction of the two main characters, a small town girl and a city boy, both taking the same midnight train to escape their current situations and chase their dreams. They both end up at the same destination, a smokey room where a singer performs, and they share a connection through the music and each other's company.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of hope and perseverance, with the phrase "don't stop believin'" repeated several times throughout the song. The verses following the chorus continue the story of the characters, emphasizing the fact that they are not alone in their search for meaning and fulfillment. The song speaks to the universal human experience of wanting something more in life and the determination needed to pursue those ambitions.
One interesting aspect of the song is how it has transcended time and genres, becoming a classic rock anthem that has been covered by numerous artists in various styles. Additionally, the song has been used in several popular movies and TV shows, including The Sopranos and Family Guy. The song was originally released by the band Journey in 1981 and became a massive hit, reaching number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Overall, the Glee Cast's rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'" is a powerful and emotional take on the classic rock song. The lyrics remind us that no matter how difficult life may seem, there is always hope to chase after our dreams and find fulfillment in the world around us.
