Update 4: It appears that six of Monday’s “The Voice” performances were in the Top 10 on US iTunes when the 12PM ET voting deadline arrived.
Headline Planet initially reported that Britton Buchanan’s “Where You Come From” (#1), Brynn Cartelli’s “Walk My Way” (#3), Spensha Baker’s “Old Soul” (#4), Cartelli’s “Skyfall” (#6) and Kyla Jade’s “The Last Tear” (#9) held Top 10 positions when voting closed.
Buchanan, however, noted that his version of “Good Lovin'” also held a Top 10 position at the voting deadline. While Headline Planet saw the song at #12, numerous fans shared screenshots to support the claim that the song was #10 on the all-genre US iTunes chart.
Buchanan has since confirmed that he received “official word” of the song’s Top 10 status.
I’ve gotten official word that it was at #10!

By virtue of their Top 10 positions, “Where You Come From,” “Walk My Way,” “Old Soul,’ “Skyfall,” “The Last Tear,” and “Good Lovin'” will all receive 5x multipliers on their overnight iTunes vote/download totals.
Here is all how twelve of Monday’s songs were ranked at the deadline:
1) Britton Buchanan – Team Alicia – Where You Come From
3) Brynn Cartelli – Team Kelly – Walk My Way
4) Spensha Baker – Team Blake – Old Soul

Update 3: In verifying iTunes positions using the native application and multiple third-party feeds, Headline Planet saw five “The Voice” recordings in the Top 10 at the 12PM voting deadline:
Britton Buchanan’s “Where You Come From” at #1, Brynn Cartelli’s “Walk My Way” at #3, Spensha Baker’s “Old Soul” at #4, Cartelli’s “Skyfall” at #6, and Kyla Jade’s “The Last Tear” at #9.
Buchanan and numerous fans, however, say that his “Good Lovin'” was also in the Top 10 at the 12PM ET voting deadline. Screenshots shared via social media support the claim that it was #10.
While Headline Planet cannot independently confirm that position (we saw it at #12), we felt inclined to share what others noticed. Songs that occupied Top 10 positions at the voting deadline will receive 5x multipliers on their overnight iTunes vote/download total.
iTunes charts are famously subject to caching issues, so discrepancies are not uncommon (though they rarely carry this level of significance).
“The Voice” will, presumably, offer official word during Tuesday night’s results show.

Update 2: The 12PM ET voting deadline has arrived, and each of the remaining “The Voice” contestants has a song in the Top 10 on US iTunes.
Britton Buchanan actually has the chart’s #1 song, while Brynn Cartelli has two songs inside the Top 10.
Buchanan leads the way with his original single “Where You Come From.” Cartelli is at #3 with original “Walk My Way” and #6 with “Skyfall.”
Spensha Baker occupies #4 with her original song “Old Soul,” while Kyla Jade’s original “The Last Tear” sits at #9.
By virtue of their Top 10 positions, the songs will receive 5x multipliers on their overnight iTunes download/vote totals.
Here is how Monday’s other performances were positioned at the voting deadline. Note that coach duets do not count toward the iTunes vote. Also note that cumulative purchases on previous recordings do count toward this week’s result.
1) Britton Buchanan – Team Alicia – Where You Come From
3) Brynn Cartelli – Team Kelly – Walk My Way
4) Spensha Baker – Team Blake – Old Soul
6) Brynn Cartelli – Team Kelly – Skyfall
