As expected, the pilot episode of American hit show Glee’s Second Season sent another set of tunes to the higher echelons of the US Billboard Hot 100 – with two songs featuring Filipino teen singer Charice Pempengco.
Aside from giving the YouTube sensation two of her highest-charting songs yet on the tally, the feat also allowed her to surpass a record of R&B/pop singer Beyonce – when Charice’s Glee cover of “Listen” charted higher than the former Destiny Child singer’s original.
According to Billboard, Charice’s heart-stopping take on “Listen” debuted at No. 38 of the latest results of the Hot 100 Chart. In comparison, Beyonce’s original version –featured in the movie musical Dreamgirls – ended up on a much lower spot on the Hot 100 Chart, at No. 61, when the song was released in 2007.
Meanwhile, Charice’s other Glee cover, Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s catchy song “Telephone,” landed on the much higher 23rd spot of the same Chart. The original version became a Top 3 song for Lady Gaga and Beyonce earlier in the year.
