Glee: The Music, Volume 1 Storm the Charts

The fall's freakiest phenomenon has been the triumph of the (mostly) wholesome kids from "Glee" as they storm the charts weekly with new songs from their hit Fox show. "Glee: The Music, Vol. 1" (Columbia) is at its best when it re-imagines songs with grand, inventive new arrangements like the ones for "Don't Stop Believin'," the jazzy reworking of Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" and the stirring "Somebody to Love." But as unnecessary as the faithful takes on "Bust Your Windows" or "Take a Bow" are, their candy-coated treatment keeps them sweet enough in this context.
