Lea Michele

AKA RACHEL BERRY: Glee star Lea Michele’s solo Columbia debut, Louder, will be available for pre-order on 12/10, with an expected March street date. The first single, penned by Sia, is titled “Cannonball.” Tracks from Glee were responsible for 3.6m singles sales in 2013, and of the 43m songs from the show sold over the years, 10m were sung by Michele. The singer has scheduled an Ellen appearance on 12/12. Look for a profile of Columbia chief Rob Stringer in the upcoming issue of our print mag that touches on this and other upcoming releases (among many other pressing topics) and a Q&A on our site next week.
