In addition to winning on a season in which viewership was down notably from years prior, DeWyze also was positioned to struggle due to releasing a cover of U2&#8217;s &#8220;Beautiful Day&#8221; as his debut single.  While this was not the first instance of a cover serving as the coronation song (see Ruben Studdard&#8217;s version of &#8220;Flying Without Wings&#8221; as an example), it was the first in which the remade song was a mainstream hit in America.  That likely restricted interest to that of a normal &#8220;studio&#8221; &#8220;Idol&#8221; release, and thus prevented DeWyze from receiving massive sales interest.<\/p>\n<p>Other DeWyze songs debuting at the Hot 100 were &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221; (44), &#8220;Falling Slowly (with Crystal Bowersox)&#8221; (66) and &#8220;The Boxer&#8221; (88).  Runner-up Bowersox, meanwhile, charted with the aforementioned duet and with &#8220;Up to the Mountain&#8221; (57).<\/p>\n<p>As a comparison, Kris Allen debuted on last year&#8217;s chart with &#8220;No Boundaries&#8221; (11), &#8220;Heartless&#8221; (16), \u201cAin\u2019t No Sunshine\u201d (37), \u201cApologize\u201d (66) and \u201cFalling Slowly\u201d (94); runner-up Adam Lambert started with \u201cMad World\u201d (19), \u201cA Change is Gonna Come\u201d (56), \u201cNo Boundaries\u201d (72) and \u201cOne\u201d (82).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lee Dewyze&#039;s &quot;Beautiful Day&quot;
