Glee+Max Martin=True

CHART REFLECTION. We’re looking forward to the return of Glee. WelcheMusic has already covered that Lykke Li’s music will be featured in the show, and for the first time the program will include original content. Two new songs will be released and our own favorite producer Max Martin has written one track for the new set Glee The Music: Volume 5 which was released on Monday.

Max Martin has co-written “Loser Like Me.” The other new song is called “Get It Right.” According to Music Week, Murray Rose, Head of Marketing at Glee’s record label Epic says that one of the reasons for this new route is that “radio can be reticent to play a cover.” Glee will keep to its original concept with covers, but viewers can expect new songs to appear in future episodes.

“Loser Like Me” is already topping the US iTunes chart with sales of 210,000 copies. Max Martin currently tops the Billboard Hot 100 with Katy Perry’s “E.T.”.
