Don't Stop Believin' in Your Inner Gleek!

Originally a hit for Journey in 1981, “Don't Stop Believin' was covered by the Glee cast in 2009. Since then, they have infiltrated pop culture and continues to climb up the music ladder to success. According to sales source, Nielsen Soundscan, the Glee cast has sold an incredible 2.8 million albums and 11.5 million downloads. The Glee cast had already scored 25 hits in the top 100!

Glee's version of “Don't Stop Believin'” can be described as bright, bouncy, cheerful and uplifting. The “da-da-da” backing vocals, awesome guitar solo and powerful vocals from Lea Michele (who plays Rachel) has the power to make you smile from ear to ear. It can be seen quite cheesy to outsiders but to Gleeks (Glee lovers), this is the song that makes one want to go that extra mile and punch the air in triumph! "Don't Stop Believin" is featured in two albums: 
Glee: Volume 1


 AND  Glee: Journey to Regionals



This shows how fundamental the song is to the Glee series. If you haven't watched Glee yet, Why don't you give it ago?

So if you're looking for a song that will give you an extra lift in getting through the day, I (as well as many Gleeks) highly recommend this song! You can watch it here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9d28q_glee-dont-stop-believe_shortfilms
