Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Looking for potential front-runners on The Voice Season 12?

iTunes might offer a hint. Just three hours after Monday’s opening night of the live playoffs ended, three singers had already cracked the Top 200 on the iTunes singles chart.

Lauren Duski of Team Blake and Chris Blue and Stephanie Rice of Team Alicia scored those iTunes hits.

What’s more, all three singers had cracked the Top 10 on a genre chart.

By noon eastern time, when voting typically ends on The Voice, they’d been joined by a fourth singer. Vanessa Ferguson slipped into the Top 200 at number 190 and was sitting at an impressive 49 on the tough-to-scale pop chart.

All four singers made the Top 12. Chris, Vanessa and Lauren were voted in the finals; Alicia used her save to advance Stephanie.

Here’s where all the songs from Monday’s show stood as of noon. Only one song from Monday’s show failed to crack the Top 200 on a genre chart.

And special congrats to Stephanie Rice, who landed on top of the iTunes rock chart with her cover of “Every Breath You Take.”
