You 'Want It That Way'! Glee Fans Hope to See the Show Tackle Backstreet Boys

After Glee devoted an entire episode to Fleetwood Mac's massively succesful album Rumours, Broadway.com asked which other all-time best-selling album you'd like the TV series tackle next. The votes are in, and it looks like Glee fans have boy band fever! The Backstreet Boys' 1999 album Millennium, which sold 40 million copies worldwide, landed in first place with 28% of votes. Millennium features many of the Backstreet Boys' biggest hits, including "I Want It That Way," "Larger Than Life" and "The One."


Following in second place with 13% of votes was the soundtrack to the hit 1987 film Dirty Dancing. Glee covered the album's signature song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" earlier this season, but the album includes many other hits, including Patrick Swayze's "She's Like the Wind" and '60s classics "Be My Baby" and "Stay."

Third place resulted in a tie between Michael Jackson's Thriller and Shania Twain's Come On Over. Both albums pulled in 11% of votes. The Glee students performed Thriller's title track in a recent post-Super Bowl episode. Come On Over included some of Twain's most memorable songs, including "You're Still the One" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman."

Thanks for voting!
