Idol Chatter & Voice Views

And for the first time, iTunes downloads counted as votes for the remaining artists.

In the past, iTunes rankings have been a strong indicator of who’s likely to survive and who might be in danger of elimination each week.

In that case, We McDonald, Billy Gilman and Ali Caldwell can breathe a sigh of relief.

All three finished in the Top 30 on the iTunes singles chart. We led the way, sitting at number 16 with her version of “Take Me to Church” when voting ended at noon eastern time.

On the other hand, Aaron Gibson and Sa’Rayah have reason to fret.

Eleven of the 12 songs from Monday’s show hit the iTunes singles chart; Sa’Rayah was the only singer to miss out. Aaron checked in at number 156 with his obscure song choice, nearly 50 spots behind the next worst performing song.

Here’s a look at where all the songs landed, with the singles chart listed first, followed by the genre charts.
