Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Season 4 Voice winner Danielle Bradbery cracked the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart this week.

And that’s in spite of the fact that the songs include on her Voice compilation album were already available for download as singles.

The same day, a compilation album of the songs she performed on the show was released on iTunes.

The album immediately shot to near the top of the iTunes download chart and landed at 19 on the weekly top 200 albums chart announced this week.

On the country chart, the album was the week’s sixth best in terms of sales.

What’s more, two of the songs Danielle performed last week — “Born to Fly” and “Maybe It Was Memphis” — cracked Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart.

As for the future, Danielle already has a recording contract in hand, having signed with Big Machine Records, the same label where Taylor Swift and Season 3 Voice champ Cassadee Pope reside.

Danielle sang mostly traditional country music on The Voice, but told the cast of Today that she’s probably leaning more toward pop-country on her debut album.

She appeared on Today last Friday and, as a surprise, was presented a new guitar by country star Hunter Hayes, who she sang with on The Voice season finale.

Oh, if you’re wondering: Michelle Chamuel’s compilation album hit the Billboard 200 at number 57 and The Swon Brothers landed at number 65.
