It Was All Green

The latest musical group to cash in on GLEE's star power is Coldplay. The British imports, who originally rejected the idea of appearing on Fox's breakout hit, signed over their entire catalog to the show. Creator Ryan Murphy said that Coldplay called him a week ago saying, 'We're sorry, you can have our catalog.' It should come as no surprise that they're eager to cash in on the McKinely High cash cow. A few tunes by the GLEE gang results in a lucrative payoff for the song's writers and publishers. Prime example: Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" reached number four on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart, while Madonna's tracks from the "Power of Madonna" episode hit number one.
