Britney Spears is a ratings grabber for 'Glee'
NEW YORK
Tuesday's episode that featured the star in some dream-sequence
cameos drew an estimated 13.5 million viewers. The Nielsen Co. says
it was the second most-watched episode of the show ever, behind
last spring's return from a hiatus.
That's also an increase from the 11.1 million people who had
tuned in to the "Glee" season premiere a week earlier. Spears was
also a trending topic on Twitter during the telecast, exemplifying
one of TV's biggest new trends: viewers using social media to
correspond with friends while watching.
The show's cast performed five Spears songs during the episode,
including "I'm a Slave 4U" and "Stronger."
