During the blind auditions, only three songs from Season 14 of The Voice cracked the iTunes 200 by noon the next day.

After Monday’s opening battle round episode, four songs — crafted by eight artists — accomplished that feat.

D.R. King and Jackie Foster’s cover of “Sign of the Times” by Harry Styles turned out to be the night’s most popular performance.

It was already at number 130 on iTunes by midnight eastern time. By noon Monday, it was sitting at number 70.

D.R. won the Team Kelly Clarkson match, but all three other coaches tried to steal Jackie. She went with Team Adam Levine.

Two of the night’s other big hits also resulted in a double victory of sorts.

For instance, Brynn Cartelli won her Team Kelly match; Dylan Hartigan, her opponent, was stolen by Blake Shelton.

They covered Taylor Swift’s “Ready for It?” By midnight that song was already number 176 on the iTunes overall singles chart; by noon it had jumped all the way to number 112.

Also cracking the iTunes Top 200 — “Use Somebody” by Christiani Danielle and Shana Halligan; and “Sweet Thing” by Rashun LaMarr and Tish Haynes Keys.

Rayshun won his battle round match; Tish was stolen by Kelly Clarkson. Christianna advanced from hers; Shana was eliminated.

Below, you’ll see where all the songs from Monday’s show were charting as of noon. That’s when voting typically ends following a live episode of The Voice, so that’s when I log my official chart rankings.
