Rolling Stone reports that the season premiere of GLEE, airing on Fox on September 21, will feature hits by Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and Poison.  The song list includes Gaga's 'Telephone,' Travie McCoy's 'Billionaire' and the Poison classic 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn.'

Music supervisor, P.J. Bloom says of Co-Creator Ryan Murphy, "Ryan's a huge Lady Gaga fan.  I suspect we're going to look to her to be part of the show."

As for rapper, Jay-Z, GLEE will feature his 'Empire State of Mind,' as New Directions travels to New York to compete at Nationals.

The debut episode will also feature the music of Broadway classics A CHORUS LINE and THE KING & I, as well as the film version of DREAMGIRLS.

After the success of season one's all-Madonna episode, Rolling Stone also reveals that season two will devote an entire show to Britney Spears.  No word on the song list yet, but 'Glee' fans can rejoice as Rolling Stone expects another soundtrack album, possibly as soon as this fall.
