Idol Chatter & Voice Views

At midnight, two hours after Monday’s show ended, Kyla was firmly entrenched in bonus points territory at number two on the iTunes overall singles chart.

And that’s where she wound up, though other artists from The Voice caught up as voting progressed.

In fact, when it ended no fewer than six contestants were sitting in the Top 10 on iTunes, including Brynn Cartelli at number three and Britton Buchanan at number four. Others in the Top 10 included Kaleb Lee, Pryor Baird and Spensha Baker.

Singers who finished in the Top 10 on iTunes when voting ends at noon Tuesday have their iTunes downloads multiplied by five.

And every vote is crucial this week on The Voice as the show cuts from eight singers to four before next week’s Season 14 finale.

The impressive showing, of course, carries over to the genre charts as well. There’s a singer from The Voice at the top of the Christian chart (Kaleb), the country chart (Pryor), the pop chart (Brynn), the rock chart (Britton) and the R&B chart (Kyla).

On Tuesday, the top three vote-getters will automatically move on to the finals. The bottom two will automatically be eliminated. The three in between will compete for the season’s final instant save.

Last week, four contestants cracked the Top 10 on iTunes — Kyla at number five, Brynn at number eight, Britton at number nine and Pryor at number 10.

Here’s where all of Monday’s songs stood as of 10 a.m. I’ll be updating this blog in the a.m. and again at noon when voting ends.
