Containing six songs from the season one finale "Journey to Regionals", it was released on June 8, 2010, the same day the episode aired. Half of the tracks are cover versions of songs by American rock band Journey. The EP debuted at the top of the US ''Billboard'' 200 and Soundtrack charts, with first-week sales of 154,000 copies. Unlike previous ''Glee'' releases, no singles were released from this album, but all of its tracks managed to appear on multiple national charts.

In Concert!, the cast's first concert tour, included three songs from the ''Glee: The Music, Journey to Regionals''.
==Background and composition==
The season one finale of ''Glee'' first aired on Fox on June 8, 2010 in the US. The episode sees the fictional William McKinley High School glee club New Directions compete at the 2010 Midwest Regional Show Choir Championships. Director Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) decides to have New Directions pay tribute to American rock band Journey. This was not only as homage to the cast's cover of "Don't Stop Believin' in the season one premiere that led to his decision to remain at the school, but as a representation of the path undertaken to arrive at the Regionals level of competition. They perform a medley of Journey songs: the love ballad "Faithfully", with Lea Michele and Cory Monteith on lead vocals as Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson, respectively, transitions into a mashup of "Any Way You Want It" and "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin". This ends with a reprise of "Don't Stop Believin", where each cast member sings a portion of the song.〔〔〔 Rival choir Vocal Adrenaline performs a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" thereafter, with Jesse (Jonathan Groff) on lead vocals. At the end of the episode, New Directions decides to show appreciation for Schuester with a rendition of Lulu's "To Sir With Love", the theme of the 1967 film of the same name. He returns the honor, performing Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's reinvention of "Over the Rainbow" along with glee club member Puck (Mark Salling).〔〔〔
The EP, along with its track listing, was announced in an official press release on May 26, 2010. It was released on June 8, 2010 in the US, and on June 14, 2010 in the UK.〔〔 "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin" was previously covered in the series' pilot episode. The 1981 single "Don't Stop Believin" was also previously performed in the pilot, as well as in the season one episode "The Rhodes Not Taken".〔 The songs in the EP all fall under the genres of pop and rock.〔
