On “The Voice” finale on Monday, the Top 4 artists performed two solos apiece. The goal for each contestant was to stream the most songs on Apple Music/iTunes by Tuesday at 7 a.m ET/4 a.m. PT so that they reaped the benefit of a five-times vote multiplier.
We can report the following results: Jake Hoot from Team Kelly Clarkson registered enough sales to have earned the Apple Music Bonus for the third week running with his performances of the winner’s single “Better Off Without You” and cover of “Amazed.” While his duet with Clarkson on “Wintersong” doesn’t count towards the number of streams, that it also made the top 10 on iTunes reinforces his frontrunner status to win season 17 of “The Voice.”
Of Jake’s competition, two of them cracked the top 10 on Apple Music with at least one of their solos on the December 16 show. Ricky Duran came in at #1 for his debut performance of his potential winner’s single, “A Woman Like Her.” And Katie Kadan made it to #4 with her original track, “All Better,” and #8 for her cover of “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.” The fourth finalist, Rose Short, reached only #12 with her new cut, “Steamroller.” (See the full list of songs and where they ranked below.)
