MONSTER MASH-UP: The cast of Fox's "Glee" equals its fourth-best Billboard Hot 100 rank, as it's mash-up of Adele's "Rumour Has It" and "Someone Like You" launches at No. 11.

The troupe has charted higher only with "Don't Stop Believin' " (No. 4), "Loser Like Me" (No. 6) and "Teenage Dream" (No. 8). It previously reached No. 11 with "Forget You," featuring Gwyneth Paltrow.

The cast debuts three additional medleys (upping its Hot 100 record haul to 168 charted titles). Its mix of Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle's "You and I" and Lady Gaga's like-titled hit bows at No. 69; its Daryl Hall John Oates tribute "I Can't Go for That"/"You Make My Dreams Come True" opens at No. 80; and, its melding of Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and Blondie's "One Way or Another" enters at No. 86.

How monster a mash-up is "Rumour"/"Someone"? Upon its arrival, the track becomes the "Glee" cast's highest-charted such single. Here is a look at the ensemble's 16 inventive medleys to have graced the Hot 100:

Peak Position, Title, Year
No. 11, "Rumour Has It"/"Someone Like You," 2011

No. 18, "Singing in the Rain"/"Umbrella," featuring Gwyneth Paltrow, 2010

No. 30, "It's My Life"/"Confessions Part II," 2009
No. 31, "Start Me Up"/"Livin' on a Prayer," 2010
No. 38, "Stop! In the Name of Love"/"Free Your Mind," 2010
No. 40, "Halo"/"Walking on Sunshine," 2009

No. 81, "I Love New York"/"New York, New York," 2011

"Rumour"/"Someone" also takes over as the "Glee" cast's top-performing Adele cover. Its rendition of "Rolling in the Deep," featuring Jonathan Groff, peaked at No. 29 in May.


TWO FOR 1: Adele's original version of "Someone Like You" concurrently rises 2-1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, marking her second No. 1 on the list. "Rolling in the Deep" tallied 19 weeks at the top beginning the week of July 2.

Adele is the first woman to notch two AC No. 1s in a year since Taylor Swift sent "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me" to the summit in 2009.

Previously, no women had doubled up atop AC in the same year since 1998, when Shania Twain reigned with "You're Still the One" and "From This Moment On" and Celine Dion propelled three songs to No. 1: "My Heart Will Go On," "To Love You More" and "I'm Your Angel," with R. Kelly. (Twain, meanwhile, this week makes her first AC appearance since 2005, as Michael Buble's "White Christmas," on which she guests, debuts at No. 28).

On Adult Pop Songs, "Set Fire to the Rain," Adele's follow-up to "Someone," roars in at No. 25. That's the chart's highest debut by a female soloist since Alanis Morissette's "Everything" launched at the same spot the week of April 10, 2004.


'NIGHT' MOVES: "It's about committing yourself wholeheartedly to the one thing you're most passionate about."

That's how Lady Gaga described her new single, "Marry the Night," to Katie Couric on last night's ABC special, "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving."

The one thing that Gaga is most passionate about? "Music."

"Marry," her favorite song on her album "Born This Way," she revealed to Couric, charges onto Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart at No. 24. With the bow, Gaga boasts two of the year's three top debuts on the chart. The set's title cut bounded in at No. 14 in February after Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" had started at No. 16 a month earlier. The songs went on to peak at Nos. 1 and 3, respectively.

On the Hot 100, "Marry" returns at No. 97. It first spent a week at No. 79 on the June 11 chart as "Born This Way" opened atop the Billboard 200.
