#28 – “Glee” Cast – $8,830,710
As much a music success story as a TV one, “Glee” makes an impressive debut on the Money Makers list thanks to the fact that fans don’t just tune in to the Fox program, but actively seek out what they heard on it afterward. Digital track sales of songs reinterpreted by the show’s cast added up to 12.9 million copies, while sales of its various soundtrack albums totaled 3.6 million. As its debut season came to a close last May, the show’s cast hit the road for a string of tour dates that grossed $5 million.
