Don't stop believing in the fact that although ratings for "Glee" might not be exactly what Fox was hoping for (partially because of a poor lead-in from "So You Think You Can Dance"), but the music is definitely making its mark.

The Hollywood Reporter has shared that the cover of Rihanna's "Take a Bow" has debuted in the No. 46 slot of the Billboard Hot 100, joining the pilot's finale song "Don't Stop Believin'" at No. 78, the two already racking up nearly 250,000 downloads.

The comedy from "Nip/Tuck" creator Ryan Murphy has been charming its way into people's home, and on their iPods.

"Bust Your Windows," performed by *** and the "Glee" cast, is at No. 34 on the iTunes top downloads list, going for $1.29, and currently is the highest ranked "Glee" song as of early Friday morning. "Take a Bow" is ranked No. 53 while "Don't Stop Believin'" is No. 66 and "Mercy" is No. 68.

"Glee" has allowed Fox to really make a strong move into the digital domain, encouraging viewers to do more than just look to purchase the show online. They have created a number of other products, especially when it comes to songs (it is said there will be 100 songs performed in the first season of the show), opening up new lines of revenue for programs such as this -- and possibly paving the way for a lighter reliance on ratings for each new episode.

Even the show is doing well on iTunes. Wednesday's episode "Acafellas" right now is the top television download on iTunes as of Friday morning with "Showmance" at No. 8. The show is ahead of some perennial favorites such as "Mad Men" in the download race and has even stayed ahead of the cult followed "Gossip Girl" from The CW.

But now the key is to get ratings in line. "Glee" earned a 4.2 rating/7 share Wednesday, according to Fast National ratings from Nielsen Media Research. That is down 8.7 percent from the previous week, but is still 17 percent better than its lead-in, "So You Think You Can Dance." "Glee" had some tough competition in the time slot this past week, including the season finale of "America's Got Talent."

Fox seems to be giving "Glee" some considerable leeway, and may be willing to wait for as long as it takes for audiences to catch on to the show.

And that's nothing but good news for those who have already discovered "Glee," which airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
