Update:<\/b> Team Usher contestant Josh Kaufman has scored the season’s first iTunes multiplier bonus.<\/p>\n

“The Voice” contestant’s cover of “Stay With Me” was positioned at #5 on the overall iTunes Single Sales chart when voting closed at 12PM ET. As a result of its presence in the top ten, its sales total will be multiplied by 5 when incorporated into Josh Kaufman’s weekly vote total.<\/p>\n

No other contestant received such a bonus. The near-final chart positions were as follow:<\/p>\n

5. Josh Kaufman – Stay with Me
\n30. Kristen Merlin – Stay
\n39. Jake Worthington – Anymore
\n47. Christina Grimmie – Dark Horse
\n95 Kat Perkins – Magic Man
\n103. Sisaundra Lewis – Don\u2019t Let the Sun Go Down On Me
\n111. Audra McLaughlin – Angel of the Morning
\n124. Delvin Choice – Unchained Melody
\n131. Bria Kelly – Rolling In the Deep
\n176. Tess Boyer – I\u2019ll Be There For You
\n283. T.J. Wilkins – Waiting On the World To Change
\n298. Dani Moz – Just Give Me a Reason<\/em>
\n============<\/p>\n

The live shows have commenced, and so too has “The Voice'”s presence in the iTunes Single Sales Chart.<\/p>\n

After propelling only a handful of songs into the Top 100 during the blind auditions, battles and playoffs, NBC’s reality competition series sent several songs surging up the chart after Monday’s Top 12 performance show.<\/p>\n

Leading the charge is Josh Kaufman’s cover of Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” Currently 19 (as of 1:30AM ET), the cover seems like the week’s strongest bet to enter the Top 10 and secure the responsible contestant the corresponding multiplier on his iTunes vote.<\/p>\n

Affected on the live broadcast by a microphone malfunction, Kristen Merlin’s cover of “Stay” is experiencing no issue garnering purchases on iTunes. As of press time, it was number #57 on the iTunes chart. It might not have enough juice to reach the top ten, but it certainly indicates solid interest in the performance.<\/p>\n

Other “The Voice” performances presently in the Top 100 are Jake Worthington’s “Anymore” (#64) and Christina Grimmie’s “Dark Horse” (#75).<\/p>\n
