'''''Starship''''' is a science fiction musical theatre comedy from [[Team Starkid]], the creators of ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]'' and ''[[Me and My Dick]]''. Written by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, Brian Holden and Joe Walker, from a pitch by Walker and [[Darren Criss]] ("''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' [[X Meets Y|meets]] ''[[Aliens]]''") and with music written by Criss, it was performed in early 2011 and released on DVD and [[YouTube]] on April 30. Within a few days of the soundtrack's release on iTunes, it rose to #3 on the iTunes sales charts in the US, the UK, Denmark and the Netherlands, #2 in Australia, Canada and Ireland, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Cast Albums chart (beating the record set by ''[[Me and My Dick]]'', which reached #11), and even cracked Billboard's overall album sales chart, coming in at #134 after only three days of sales. It's distinct from other [[Team Starkid]] shows because the performance, which took place in Chicago, charged for the tickets, and a DVD of the performance was later released through their online store.
