After an epic appearance by Gwyneth Paltrow on this week's episode, one can't help but wonder what GLEE creator Ryan Murphy has in store for the rest of the season.

In an interview with E! Online, Chris Colfer shared his intentions to bring the legendary Julie Andrews to McKinley High.  Colfer said to E!, "I am now heavily campaigning to get Julie Andrews to play my grandmother on the show. So if you know anyone who knows Julie, give 'em a buzz. I think she likes the show, so we'll see!"

Jayma  mays hinted that crazy things are in store for her character, Emma, and even commented on Gwyneth's appearance, saying, "If [Ryan Murphy] brings Gwyneth back, that means she has an interest in Will, and I don't know that Emma would like that so much. I like Gwyneth, but I dunno if I like the character on the show."

Chord Overstreet added, "Who doesn't [have a crush on Gwyneth]? She's drop-dead gorgeous, awesome. I didn't even know she could sing like that. She was just awesome to work with and she left everybody personal gifts in their trailer and personal notes-just sweet."

This incredible response yielded more record breaking moments for GLEE; it's the first time all singles from any episode simultaneously appeared in the top 10 of iTunes Top Songs chart. Additionally, the GLEE cast version of Jay-Z's anthem "Empire State of Mind" has the single highest first day sales for any GLEE track released to date.

GLEE scored three consecutive #1 releases with GLEE: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers, GLEE: The Music, The Power of Madonna and GLEE: The Music, Journey To Regionals. This week four GLEE releases occupy slots within Billboard's top 100 best selling albums Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers at #31, Glee: The Music, Volume 1 at #58, GLEE: The Music, Journey To Regionals at #66 and GLEE: The Music, Volume 2 at #81.
