“The ultimate resource for truly dedicated fans.” — School Library Journal

The kids in McKinley High School’s glee club, New Directions, might not be the most popular, but for six years Glee was unquestionably a runaway hit. During its spectacular run from 2009–2015, Glee exploded as one of the most popular hours on TV, and earned an astounding 19 Emmy nominations in its first season. In addition to the show’s staggering success, Glee’s songs heated up the music charts, with 25 tracks on the 2009 hot 100 list, a hit-rate topped only by the Beatles when they had 31 hits in 1964.

Don’t Stop Believin’ pays tribute to the glorious mash-up of music, comedy, drama and social commentary that keeps Glee and its band of misfits in the spotlight, even after the final curtain fell on the show.
