According to Digital Spy, GLEE star Lea Michele has created a whole line-up of dream guest stars for FOX's hit series. In response to rumors about Susan Boyle appearing on the show, Michele said, "Oh my God, I have no idea! It would be so incredible to sing with her. She had a hidden talent which was then discovered, which is what happened to so many of us from Glee. Look at Amber Riley and Chris Colfer - they're incredible, and thanks to Glee the world gets to see them."

Michele also revealed hopes that Madonna might join the show: "We all loved doing the Madonna show - it was one of my favorite episodes. We're hoping to do a part two. Maybe Madonna could be the sex education teacher. Justin Timberlake would be great. He is perfect." 

GLEE made its triumphant return to prime time with an astounding 12.3 million viewers tuning in to the Season 2 premiere. The anticipation and excitement for GLEE music reached new heights with over 250,000 new tracks downloaded in the first 48 hours available. This incredible response yielded more record breaking moments for GLEE; it's the first time all singles from any episode simultaneously appeared in the top 10 of iTunes Top Songs chart. Additionally, the GLEE Cast version of Jay-Z's anthem "Empire State of Mind" has the single highest first day sales for any GLEE track released to date.

To date over 13 million GLEE songs have been digitally downloaded, with over 5 million albums sold worldwide. GLEE scored three consecutive #1 releases with GLEE: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers, GLEE: The Music, The Power of Madonna and GLEE: The Music, Journey To Regionals. This week four GLEE releases occupy slots within Billboard's top 100 best selling albums Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers at #31, Glee: The Music, Volume 1 at #58, GLEE: The Music, Journey To Regionals at #66 and GLEE: The Music, Volume 2 at #81. With all the excitement around Glee's return, it's evident why the New York Times proclaimed GLEE is now a bonafide phenomenon."
