Glee - The Mashups

Judging by the midweek reports, it appears Britain has seen "Vitamin D," the mashups episode of Glee. In this episode, Mr. Schuester pitted the boys against the girls and challenged them to come up with an original mashup combining two songs into one. The girls chose Beyonce's "Halo" and Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine," while the boys did Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" and Usher's "Confessions Pt. II."

The resulting mashups were two of the season's most memorable songs, and because they did not appear on the soundtrack, two of the season's most popular chart-wise. Both were top 40 hits in the US, with the boys peaking at #30 on the Hot 100, and the girls at #40.

Both appear on track to become Glee's second and third-biggest hits in Britain; however, this time the girls are ahead. By Thursday, they were in the top 10, while the boys were just outside the top 10. "Don't Stop Believin'," however, looks set to remain in the top 5. How fun would 3 Glee top 10s in 1 week be?

Girls:



Boys:



Which do you like better? While both are great fun, I think the boys came out ahead.

yes Britain is loving the Glee mash ups :) And quite rightly so :P I think we will probably catch up to the US schedule soon and not be too far behind... I think the boys were slightly ahead too!
