Sales and chart performance

The album debuted at number one on the American,[4] Australian,[5] Canadian,[6] and Irish charts.[7] It sold 136,000 copies in its first and 63,000 in its second week of release in the US,[4][8] and saw the Glee cast beat the record previously set by The Beatles in 1966, for shortest span between first weeks at number one, just four weeks after they reached number one with the extended play Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna.[9] In Canada, 14,000 copies were sold in the first week of release,[10] and 9,400 in the second.[11] The album has been certified platinum in Australia and Ireland, and gold in the United States.[12][13][14]

Each of the songs included on the album were released as singles, available for digital download.[15] The best-performing were "Gives You Hell", charting at the top position in Ireland,[16] "Total Eclipse of the Heart", which charted at number 9 in the United Kingdom[17] and number 16 in the US,[18] and "Jessie's Girl" at number eight in Australia[19] and number ten in Canada.[18] 134,000 copies of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" were purchased in the US in its first week of release, making it the series' second best sales week ever to that point, with only the début single "Don't Stop Believin'" registering bigger sales in its first week.[20] "Jessie's Girl" has been certified gold in Australia, the first single to have reached this certification since "Don't Stop Believin'".[21] Comparing the singles' chart positions with prior charted versions, Billboard noted that by reaching number 26, the Glee cast version of "Dream On" surpassed the original Aerosmith version, which peaked at number 59 in 1973 (but was re-released in 1976 and reached number 6).[9] The cast's cover of "Physical" saw Olivia Newton-John make her first Hot 100 appearance since her remake of "I Honestly Love You" reached number 99 in 1998.[22]
