Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna
''Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna'' is the debut extended play (EP) by the cast of the musical television series ''Glee''. It contains eight songs from the season one ''Glee'' episode, "The Power of Madonna", which was a tribute episode dedicated to American recording artist Madonna. She had sold the rights to her entire catalog of music to ''Glee'' in 2009, and producers of the show developed the episode called "The Power of Madonna"; the show featured a number of cover versions of Madonna's songs by the cast. The accompanying EP released with the airing of the show was called ''Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna''.
After its release, it received generally positive reviews from the critics, who frequently cited Glee's cover version of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" as a stand-out track from the album. The EP debuted at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart, with 98,000 copies in the first week in the United States, the highest debut for a ''Glee'' soundtrack. It also reached the top of the chart in Canada, and the top ten in Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The release of the EP saw an increase in the catalog sales of Madonna's albums too. All songs from ''The Power of Madonna'' were released as singles with the exception of "Burning Up". "Like a Prayer" charted highest in all regions, reaching number 27 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and selling 87,000 digital downloads there.
==Background==
In 2009, Madonna granted ''Glee'' the rights to her entire catalogue of music, and the producers planned an episode which would feature Madonna songs exclusively. Series creator Ryan Murphy had worked with Madonna in the past, and wished to produce a ''Glee'' tribute to her. Madonna agreed and "cooperated in every way possible", for the episode "The Power of Madonna". The episode featured the show's fictional glee club director Will Schuester, portrayed by actor Matthew Morrison, assigning the students in the club to sing Madonna songs because the girls were being subjected to sexist treatment by the boys; he hoped the entire glee club would learn from the messages of girl-power and equality in such Madonna songs as "Express Yourself".
''Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna'', an extended play (EP) containing studio recordings of songs performed in the episode, was released on April 20, 2010.〔 Its tracklist encompasses "Express Yourself", a mash-up of "Borderline" and "Open Your Heart", "Vogue", "Like a Virgin, "4 Minutes", "What It Feels Like for a Girl", and "Like a Prayer". The iTunes edition featured a bonus track, "Burning Up", which was not performed in the episode.〔 Although they were not performed by the show's cast, Madonna's "Ray of Light",〔 "Burning Up", "Justify My Love", and "Frozen" were also used as backing tracks in the episode.
