Andi and Alex Peot told The Voice they feared they’d have to quit singing together unless “something big happened.”

Well, the young women from Green Bay wound up with the most successful blind audition song of Season 9.

Their cover of Dido’s “Thank You” climbed to number 36 on the iTunes chart by noon the day after it was performed on the show.

And it was still in the Top 200 Monday night, when the blind auditions ended.

I’ve been tracking the iTunes’ ranking for all 48 songs performed by Season 9 contestants during the blind auditions.

For the list below, I compared where the songs landed as of noon the day after they were featured on The Voice.

Why? Because that’s when voting typically ends once the live shows begin.

Only one other song cracked the iTunes Top 50 in that time span — Amy Vachal’s “Dream a Little Dream,” which was featured on Monday’s show.

In fact, just 12 of the 48 blind audition songs cracked iTunes’ Top 200 singles chart.

And three of those came from Monday night, which might have been the most talent-rich blind audition finale The Voice has ever aired.

Also worth noting is the staying power of Ellie Lawrence’s cover of “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off.” Originally performed two weeks ago, it is also still on the iTunes Top 200.

Here’s the list of songs that made that chart and where they landed as of noon EST the day after the blind audition aired.

#36: Andi and Alex (Team Adam) — “Thank You”

#45: Amy Vachal (Team Pharrell) — “Dream a Little Dream”

#57: Shelby Brown (Team Adam) — “Stars”

#58: Ellie Lawrence (Team Gwen) — “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off”

#60: Jordan Smith (Team Adam) — “Chandelier”

#65: Sydney Rhame (Team Pharrell) — “Photograph”

#93: Morgan Frazier (Team Blake) — “I Want You to Want Me”

#95: Barrett Baber (Team Blake) — “Angel Eyes”

#115: Krista Hughes (Team Blake) — “Angel from Montgomery”

#152: Blind Joe (Team Blake) — “If It Hadn’t Been for Love”

#168: Lyndsey Elm (Team Gwen) — “Lips Are Movin'”

#199: Cole Criske (Team Blake) — “Dancing with a Broken Heart”
