In Honor Of "Glee" Coming To Disney+, Here Are 16 Incredible Songs From The Show's Soundtracks That Still Top The Charts Today

"Smooth Criminal" was a cultural reset.

1. "Don't Stop Believin'"

The New Directions sang their rendition of this Journey song a total of six times — overkill in some Gleeks opinions — but their performance in Season 4 really takes the cake.

2. "Singing in the Rain/Umbrella"

This groundbreaking performance was accompanied by its single charting on the Billboard Top 100 as well as Gwyneth Paltrow's first appearance on the show. What more could you ask for?

3. "Smooth Criminal"

Featuring 2CELLOS, this performance was a trailblazer for the Glee cast with a musical duel between the beloved Santana against Sebastian, a member of the Warblers. Santana's anger towards Sebastian is really captured after she forces two cello players to stay and play for the entirety of the duel.

4. "Somebody to Love"

The New Directions took on Sectionals for the first time in Season 1, where they sang this "crowd pleaser" as a last resort after their set list is stolen by opposing schools. Being the first song all 12 of them performed together, it makes sense it was used as a fantastic metaphor for teamwork.

5. "Somebody That I Used to Know"

An argument between brothers takes place in the spotlight in Season 3, Episode 15. Blaine and Cooper give the performance of the century and share their heartening apologies afterwards backstage. How "brotherly love" of them.

6. "Survivor/I Will Survive"

This mash-up by The Troubletones features solos from Santana, Mercedes, Brittany, and even Sugar as prior Glee club members. Although they disbanded after this sectionals performance, these William McKinley high schoolers demonstrated their true potential to both Will and Rachel.

7. "Don't Rain on My Parade"

Although Santana gave it her all in Season 5, I'm gonna have to give this solo rendition to Rachel in Season 1 after the New Directions made a spontaneous setlist at Sectionals. Rachel is sometimes deemed as the most annoying member of Glee, but that girl can BELT a tune.

8. "Cough Syrup"

When debating the best Glee songs of all time, this rendition by Blaine is simply a veteran of the discussion. This montage between Blaine and Karofsky (if you know, you know), is heartbreaking and delivers an impactful performance that never fails to leave you with tears in your eyes.

9. "Start Me Up/Livin' on a Prayer"

Fox / Via youtube.com

This mash-up is featured in the infamous Season 2, Episode 6 where Mr. Schue hosts the annual Boys vs. Girls contest and directs the girls to perform stereotypically "boyish" songs, in contrast to the boys being told to sing traditionally "feminine" songs. One takeaway? The girls won by a landslide.

10. "Stop! In the Name of Love/Free Your Mind"

The backstory of this mash-up is a result of a string of mistakes by the Glee boys on the football team, where they sing to Coach Beiste, their female coach, as an apology for their actions. Long story short? Finn and Sam started this mess in the first place, but their performance seems truly emotional and they gave it their all.

11. "I Kissed a Girl"

Fox / Via youtube.com

This Katy Perry feature is sung by Santana and Rachel after Santana is bullied by a jock for her sexuality. There's a plethora of history between Brittany and Santana, but this prideful performance (accompanied by Rachel, for some reason) symbolizes overwhelming pride, emotion, and unity between the girls of Glee.

12. "Chasing Pavements"

Fox / Via youtube.com

This Adele song is featured in Season 4, Episode 1. Rachel is experiencing emotional turmoil over her long-distance relationship with Finn and her rocky relationship with her new roommate in New York. However focused on Rachel this song may be, it's performed by Marley with the New Directions back home.

13. "Jessie's Girl"

Fox / Via youtube.com

Finn vocalizes his storm of emotions in "Jessie's Girl", after finding out that Rachel still has feelings for Jesse in Season 1, Episode 18. He sings in front of the entire Glee Club- including Rachel. His performance showcases his vulnerability, and we all feel just terrible for him — he deserves better honestly!

14. "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Fox / Via youtube.com

Although I can't choose an ultimate favorite, this is towards the top of my list. This rendition of Queen performed by Jesse is montaged with Quinn going through labor and ultimately giving birth in the Season 1 finale. Jesse and the rest of Vocal Adrenaline do Freddie Mercury some serious justice with flashy costumes and an extremely emotional performance.

15. "Rumor Has It/Someone Like You"

Fox / Via youtube.com

This Adele mash-up is another notable performance by The Troubletones. Santana gives a gut-wrenching solo, almost breaking down before the end of it. Brittany and Mercedes are also seen tearing up, and you can hear their torment in this Mash-Off from Season 3, Episode 6.

16. And finally "Loser Like Me"

Fox / Via youtube.com

Although the costumes are heinous, the performance was not. This is an original song by the New Directions, heard in the Season 2 Midwest Regional Championship episode. This song is the better of Rachel's original songs, stomping on her previous brainstorming "My Headband" or "Only Child". This song encapsulates everything about Glee — targets of bullying, outcasts, losers.
