You just knew that version of “I Walk the Line” by Craig Wayne Boyd was going to be popular with country fans of The Voice.

It appears it resonated with fans regardless of musical leanings. At 8 a.m., Craig Wayne Boyd was leading The Voice Top 10 on the iTunes chart.

His version of “I Walk the Line” was not only already #1 on the site’s country chart, it had already reached #6 on the overall singles chart.

And that puts Craig Wayne in line for all-important bonus points, the only Voice contestant who appears on the verge of winning those this week.

Two other songs had already cracked the Top 50 on iTunes — Matt McAndrew at number 27 with his version of Coldplay’s “Fix You” and Taylor John Williams at number 25 with “Come Together.
