As "Glee" emerges as the all-time Hot 100 leader for most chart appearances, beating Elvis' record of 108 entries on the chart, let us take a minute to revisit the songs that led the cast to the top honor. Billboard presents the top ten most popular "Glee" performances, based on U.S. digital download sales of each track, according to Nielsen SoundScan. You can probably guess which song came out on top, but some of the others just might surprise you!

 

'Glee' Cast Tops Elvis Presley for Most Hot 100 Hits

10. Total Eclipse of the Heart

Although Rachel may have meant well, Puck, Finn and Jesse were offended to see themselves triple-cast in her "Run, Joey, Run" music video at the tail-end of season one -- so much so, Jesse breaks up with her. The episode ends with the spurned Rachel singing a tearful version of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" as the boys leave, accompanying her vocals at times. We love Rachel's vulnerability and all her egocentric crazy, but how many times will we see her cry and sing simultaneously? Of all her emotional outbursts turned performances, this one takes the cake.
