Glee (TV series)

Glee is an American musical comedy-drama television series that aired on the Fox network in the United States from May 19, 2009, to March 20, 2015. It focuses on the fictitious William McKinley High School glee club, New Directions, which competes on the show choir competition circuit while its disparate members deal with social issues, especially regarding sexuality and race, relationships, and learning to become an effective team. The initial twelve-member cast included club director and Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), Will's wife Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig), and eight club members played by Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Mark Salling, and Jenna Ushkowitz. In subsequent seasons, the main cast has expanded to fourteen and fifteen members.

Bye Bye Bye

"Bye Bye Bye" is a song by American boy band NSYNC from their second studio album No Strings Attached. It was released on January 11, 2000 by Jive Records as the lead single of the album. It is the first song on the album. The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze, with additional production by Andreas Carlsson. Its lyrics describe the end of a romantic relationship; it was reported to also reference the group's separation from their manager Lou Pearlman and their record label RCA Records. This song was also featured on the 2001 American compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 6.

"Bye Bye Bye" was a commercial success, peaking at number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and within the top 10 in almost every country it charted in. The song received a Grammy nomination in 2001 for Record of the Year, but lost to U2's "Beautiful Day".

Background

"Bye Bye Bye" was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze, as part of Cheiron Productions, with additional production by Andreas Carlsson. Lundin stated that the song was "totally production driven" and "created from the kick and the bass up". It was originally intended to be recorded by English boy band Five, although they later rejected the song.

Bye Bye Bye!

"Bye Bye Bye!" is the eighth single by Japanese idol group Cute. It was released on April 15, 2009, both as a normal CD and a limited edition CD + DVD package. Both editions contained a card with a serial number on it used in a draw, as a promotional event for the single. Since Kanna Arihara was on hiatus at the time of recording (before later leaving the group without ever having returned), it was the first single not to feature every current member. Maimi Yajima and Airi Suzuki are the lead vocalists. Mai Hagiwara is the minor vocalist and the center. It debuted at number 4 in the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and remained in the chart for 4 weeks.

The album contained the singles "The Ghost at Number One" (reached No. 9 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart), "New Mistake" (which yielded a Japanese-only ten-song E.P.), "Joining a Fan Club" (covered ten years later by Puffy AmiYumi on an album written and produced by Andy Sturmer) and "Bye, Bye, Bye" (which almost appeared on Bellybutton). "He's My Best Friend" later appeared in the 1994 comedy Threesome and on its soundtrack. There were promotional videos for "The Ghost at Number One" and "New Mistake". "Joining A Fan Club" was also covered by Drake Bell in his video Drake Bell In Concert, where he performed in Mexico in 2008.

Outtakes and B-Sides included "Family Tree", "Worthless Heart", and "Watchin' The Rain". The latter two are covers of Jellyfish's forerunners Beatnik Beatch's songs.
