Talk about an impressive performance.

Singers from the Top 4 on The Voice were sitting in the Top 3 spots on the iTunes singles chart by midnight.

And by the time voting ended at 7 a.m. eastern time, six of the Top 10 songs on iTunes were from the Top 4. So were nine of the Top 15.

Chevel Shepherd was at number one on the overall singles chart and on the country chart with her debut single, “Broken Hearts.”

Fellow country singers Kirk Jay and Chris Kroeze were right behind with the originals they performed on Monday’s show, “Defenseless” and “Human,” respectively.

In fact, the only member of the Top 4 not to crack the Top 10 on iTunes by the close of voting was teen sensation Kennedy Holmes, who closed the show with her brilliant cover of “Confident.”

Comparatively speaking, it didn’t do brilliantly on the iTunes chart, checking in seventh among the 12 songs available from Monday’s show, albeit at number 11 overall.

Kirk Jay enjoyed the best night of the Top 4 on iTunes, placing all three of his performances in the Top 5.

In past seasons, that would have earned him tons of bonus points and a likely Season 15 crown.

This season, it means noting. All that matters when it comes to bonus points is which artist has their two solos streamed most often.

Chris Kroeze won that bonus the past two weeks; since departed Reagan Strange the two weeks before that.

Here’s where all the songs stood at 7 a.m. eastern time, when voting ended.
