As the hit Fox show “Glee” started becoming a big hit, bands started lining up for an opportunity of having the kids from William McKinley High perform their music.

Well not everyone. Most notably Bryan Adams, power ballad master from Canada, and Coldplay, the British soft rock group, both said no.

However, the Hollywood Reporter was informed by Ryan Murphy, “Glee” producer and writer, that Coldplay changed their minds and the entire catalog of the band has been made available for the show.

In the beginning, Murphy said, lots of people didn’t really know who we were. They wanted to preview pages. I refused. I didn’t want any precedents set in terms of any involvements. Bryan Adams was my favorite rejection. Really the only ones who rejected us were Bryan Adams and Coldplay. However a week ago Coldplay called and said, sorry, here’s our catalog.

A “Glee” kids performance can result in lucrative payoffs for song publishers and writers. A year ago their version of the Journey song “Don’t Stop Believing” hit the No. 4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, while their Madonna theme EP made it to No. 1.
