Tomorrow night on Glee, Mr. Shu (Emmy nominee Matthew Morrison) and Miss Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) finally take the plunge in a big wedding episode. However, will they really make it to the altar? With Glee and a Ryan Murphy show, you never know…. I do know there will be some great musical numbers like the cast’s take on Ellie Goulding‘s current single “Anything Can Happen”. And today we get a taste of one full number on this Valentine’s Day themed episode. Check out Jake (Jacob Artist) and Marley (Melissa Benoist) dueling on the Motown classic “You’re All I Need to Get By” below. Then watch Glee tomorrow night on Fox.
Mumford and Maroon. Maroon and Mumford… It kinda sounds like a new country folk band right? But it’s just part of the names of the two groups that hold on top of the music charts for another week, Mumford & Sons and Maroon 5. On the Billboard 200 Album Chart, Mumford makes it 3 weeks in a row with Babel while Maroon 5 leads the Hot 100 Singles Chart for a fifth week with “One More Night”. Can anyone stop them?

Rapper Rick Ross lands his fourth # 1 album on the Billboard200 Albums Chart with his new one God Forgives, I Don’t selling 218,000 copies. One other new album hits the top ten as Joss Stone lands her fourth top ten record with The Soul Sessions Vol. 2 at # 10. Aside from the usual suspects hanging out in the upper regions of the chart like Maroon 5, Justin Bieber and Adele, pop music icons the Bee Gees fly into the top five with Number Ones which benefitted from special low pricing on Amazon.com.

Over on the Hot 100, Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” holds at # 1 for the ninth week in a row making it the longest running chart topper of 2012. Jepsen breaks the tie with Gotye who ruled for eight weeks before she hit the top. We’ll see if anyone can break her streak but Ellie Goulding and Flo Rida are still climbing, so we’ll see…. One dark horse for the top spot next week is American Idol winner Phillip Phillips coronation song “Home” which flies up from 84 – 9 landing it a new peak position. The song has been getting a ton of exposure during the Olympics gymnastics coverage and clearly is winning a lot of new non-Idol fans. I also have to begrudgingly admit that I like the song. While I wasn’t a fan of Phillips on Idol, I am happy he has a hit with this song further proving the only singing competition on TV that can consistently produce hit makers is truly American Idol…. For more on this chart, head to Billboard and take a look at the new top ten below.
Top Ten Singles on the Billboard Hot 100:
1. “Call Me Maybe”- Carly Rae Jepsen (last week~ 1) * 9 weeks on top
2. “Lights”- Ellie Goulding (lw~ 5)
3. “Whistle”- Flo Rida (lw~ 4)
4. “Wide Awake”- Katy Perry (lw~ 2)

8. “Titanium”- David Guetta w/Sia (lw~8)
9. “Home”- Phillip Phillips (lw~ 84)
10. “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)”- P!nk (lw~ 10)
And begrudginly, I’m gonna share with you the brand new video for the song I have finally decided I kinda like…. Phillip Phillips “Home”
