For the second time this season, Team Blake contestant Craig Wayne Boyd is set to receive an iTunes multiplier bonus.
And this one comes at a crucial juncture of the competition.
By the time the west coast broadcast of Monday’s semifinals edition of “The Voice” aired, CWB’s “The Old Rugged Cross” was already a top five seller on the iTunes all-genre single sales chart. By press time at 1:30AM ET, it was already #4.
Insofar as it only needs to possess a top ten position at the 12PM ET voting deadline, the contestant’s song is effectively a lock for an iTunes bonus this week.
Also on pace to receive iTunes bonuses are Team Adam contestants Matt McAndrew and Chris Jamison, who are already in the top ten with their respective renditions of “Make it Rain” and “When I Was Your Man.”
As of press time, the two tracks were registered at #8 and #9 on the iTunes chart, respectively.
