The only four-chair turn recipient remaining on The Voice scored the biggest iTunes hit from Monday’s show.

At midnight eastern time, Pryor Baird of Team Blake Shelton has already rocketed to number 36 on the iTunes overall singles chart.

And when voting ended at noon Tuesday, he was still in the number one position among The Voice Top 12, climbing all the way to number 28.

His cover of “Pickin’ Wildflowers” was also number six on the site’s country singles chart when voting ended. It easily marked Pryor’s best performance on iTunes since earning a spot on The Voice Season 14.

But Pryor was hardly the only contestant with cause to celebrate. All 12 artists who performed Mondaycracked the Top 75 on a genre chart and four others — Kyla Jade and Spensha Baker of Team Blake, Britton Buchanan of Team Alicia Keys and Brynn Cartelli of Team Kelly Clarkson also cracked the Top 50 on the overall singles chart.

Brynn’s finish was particularly noteworthy. At midnight, she was sitting fifth among the Top 12 in the iTunes rankings. Having watched these charts for years, I can tell you it’s unusual to see dramatic position changes over the final 12 hours of voting.

But Brynn’s supporters launched her all the way into the second spot, just ahead of Kyla and Britton. She also wound up at an impressive number 11 on the difficult-to-scale pop chart.

Speaking of those genre charts, no fewer than five contestants cracked the Top 10, with Britton leading the way at number two on the rock chart.

But do remember, chart to chart comparisons are pretty much impossible. The pop and country charts are much tougher to scale than most of the others.

Here are all the rankings when voting closed.
