We were not sure how this one was going to although we think a Peoples Choice Award did not hurt. Fox has picked up the music-themed drama series “Glee” for a second season. The first episode of Glee was aired after the finale of Season 8 of American Idol in May of 2009. Fox left the show up on the website to view all summer. The numbers for Glee were not great and there was talk that it might not make it. Fox split the season into two half the first ended in December and the second half does not kick off until April 13, 2010. The show has made a huge splash on iTunes where songs from the show each week were highly downloaded. There have been two soundtracks released which both are in the Billboard Top 20 as of last week. So it really is no wonder the show was picked up for a second season. The question remains if the audience will grow or is it just an online audience. In other Glee news, they are having open auditions to fill three parts in Season two. Anybody can enter and win, all you have to do is send in an audition tape to the Fox website.
