Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Drew Cole, the 25-year-old bartender from Los Angeles, was number 12 on the iTunes rock singles chart with his version of “Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground. Britton Buchanan was right on his heels at number 15 with “Trouble.”

And Kelsea Johnson was surging on the R&B / Soul chart, already reaching number 40 with her cover of “Like I’m Going to Lose You.”

Other contestants charting as of noon included four-chair turn recipient Justin Kilgore, 14-year-old Brynn Cartelli, Rayshun LaMarr and country singer Kaleb Lee.

Check the list below for where everyone was charting.

But please keep in mind that chart to chart comparisons are deceiving. The country and pop charts are typically much tougher to crack and climb that most of the other genre charts.

As of noon, none of the songs had cracked the Top 200 on the singles chart yet, but that’s not uncommon for a blind audition episode.

In Season 13, only five of 48 blind audition songs showed up on that chart by noon the day after the performance aired.

Noon is when voting typically ends following a live episode of The Voice, so that’s when I post my official rankings after each episode. Some songs may eventually climb higher.
