“I’m as happy as a little pig in sunshine,” Red Marlow proclaimed after winning his knockout round on The Voice.

After taking a glance at today’s iTunes results, Red might be happier than two little pigs in sunshine.

His cover of Craig Campbell’s “Outskirts of Heavens” was sitting at 103 on the iTunes singles chart as of noon today and climbed into the Top 100 earlier in the morning.

That’s the best performance among the available songs from Tuesday’s episode of The Voice.

What’s more, it’s the best performance for a country cover song so far in Season 13.

And it’s a sign that fans are warming up to Red at the perfect time, with voting rounds on the show just two weeks away.

Red’s song also cracked the Top 30 on the country singles chart. He’ll be one of five artists representing Team Blake in the playoffs; three will advance to the finals.

Here’s a look at where all the songs from Tuesday’s show were sitting on iTunes as of noon eastern time, which is when voting ends following a live episode of The Voice.

And here’s my standard warning: Don’t try to compare one genre chart to another. The pop and country charts are more difficult to scale that the others on iTunes.
