For the first time in Season 7, a Voice artist is sitting at the very top of the iTunes singles chart.

When voting ended at noon, Matt McAndrew was number one on iTunes with his original song, “Wasted Love,” bumping Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” from the top spot.

In fact, Taylor was bumped all the way to number four thanks to the singers on The Voice. Craig Wayne Boyd was sitting at number two with his new single; Chris Jamison was number three at his.

Matt has gotten as high as number two earlier this season with “The Blower’s Daughter;” Craig Wayne Boyd turned the same feat with “The Old Rugged Cross.” On both occasions, the song they couldn’t displace was “Blank Space.”

Does the number one mean Matt will walk away with the Season 7 crown Tuesday night?

Don’t count on it.

Six songs from Monday’s show had already cracked the Top 10 on iTunes as of noon.

And every song but one from Monday’s episode were in the Top 10 on their respective genre charts. Craig Wayne Boyd songs were numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the country singles chart.

If you look down the list below Chris Jamison is the singer with three songs in the Top 11 on iTunes.
