Glee Plans More Pop Covers After Adele Mash-Up Success

Adele may have been busy this month recuperating from vocal surgery, but the Glee cast certainly picked up her slack last week. The girls went all out in a mash-up of Adele’s “Rumour Has It” and “Someone Like You,” that Cinema Blend recapper Melissa Duko called her “favorite song in Season 3.” Apparently, she isn’t alone in her opinion: after Tuesday’s episode aired, the mash-up has shot up to the number 1 track on iTunes.

After a dry spell at the start of the season, November saw Glee improved ratings through a sex-themed episode. Maybe what the show really needs to improve is a more pop-savvy routine of the likes the Fox show gave us this past week. According to TV Line, more pop covers are exactly what Glee has planned. Upcoming episodes will include recent Rihanna hit “We Found Love,” Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror,” Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor,” Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” to spice things up a bit. Glee is on hiatus for the next couple of weeks, but those last few songs make me wonder if someone is planning an entire break-up themed episode. It is Glee, so probably.

Also, if you haven’t checked out the Adele cover, below, you should really get on that.
