Английская Википедия:Glee: The Music, Volume 5
Шаблон:Infobox album Glee: The Music, Volume 5 is the sixth soundtrack album by the cast of the musical television series Glee. Released on March 8, 2011, by Columbia Records, it was produced executively by Dante Di Loreto and Brad Falchuk. In addition to 14 cover versions from its second season, the album contains two of the series' first original songs. The first of these, "Get It Right", was composed specifically for cast member Lea Michele, and the other, "Loser like Me", is a group number written with the Swedish songwriter Max Martin. All of its tracks have been released as singles, and have managed to place on several national record charts.
Background
The album features music starting from GleeШаблон:'s post-Super Bowl episode.[1] American actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who made an appearance in an earlier episode covering Cee Lo Green's "Forget You!", returns for three additional songs.[2] Glee: The Music, Volume 5, announced in a press release on February 22, 2011, features the series' first original songs.[2] "Loser like Me" is performed by the main glee club New Directions, with Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, as Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson, on lead vocals.[3] Described by Glee music supervisor Adam Anders as "a very uptempo, kind-of-summery hit", the song was co-written with Swedish music songwriter and producer Max Martin, known for his work with many pop artists. Having covered many of Martin's co-written songs on the series, including songs by Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson, Anders felt it was appropriate to have his involvement.[3] According to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers database, co-writers on the song include Anders, Peer Åström, Savan Kotecha, and Johan Schuster.[4] The second song, "Get It Right", is a ballad specifically inspired by and composed for Michele by Anders, his writing partner, and his wife.[3] Both songs premiered on Ryan Seacrest's radio program on February 25, 2011, and were performed in the episode "Original Song", on March 15, 2011.[3][5] "Loser like Me" also saw a radio release date—March 1, 2011 for pop and adult pop stations.[6]
Reception
Allmusic's Andrew Leahey gave the album a rating of two-and-a-half stars out of five, praising the first track, "Thriller / Heads Will Roll", as well as Paltrow's appearances. However, he found monotony in GleeШаблон:'s conventional mix of popular music and show tunes, even with the two original tracks.[7] Rolling StoneШаблон:'s Jody Rosen gave "Loser like Me" a four-star rating out of five, and felt its message related well to the show's theme.[8] While initial sales projections were set at 75,000 copies, Glee: The Music, Volume 5 sold 90,000 copies in the US, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200.[9][10] The album debuted on the New Zealand Albums Chart at number thirty-five and climbed to number three the next week.[11][12] On the Australian Albums Chart, Volume 5 debuted at number one, becoming the second album by the cast to reach the top spot, following Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers.[13] In Canada, the album debuted at #3 on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 5,700 copies in its second week of release.[14] The album debuted in Ireland on April 14, 2011 at number five.[15]
