英语文摘:Madonna's "Glee" eyes No. 1 on U.S. chart

BEIJING, April 22 (Xinhuanet) -- Fox TV's "Glee" could earn first No. 1 on the U.S. pop album chart next week with "The Power of Madonna" soundtrack.

The companion album from the show's same-themed episode, which was aired Tuesday to much fanfare, has a shot at selling in the range of 100,000 to 125,000 copies by week's end on May 1. Final data will be issued on Wednesday.

“Madonna and her people are into it and want it to happen," "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy said. The next Madonna episode would be ready for air early next season, and Ryan plans to integrate six more Madonna classics into round two.

The best week for a "Glee" set was racked when its "Season One, The Music Volume 2" soundtrack began at No. 3 with 173,000 last December.

The week's other big debut, the "Iron Man 2" soundtrack, should debut at either No. 2 or No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with between 75,000 and 100,000 copies.
