iTunes Chart Performance

Last night’s iTunes activity was stronger than similar late-stage weeks in previous seasons. Notably, three performers landed inside the Top 25, and Kirk Jay reached the Top 10—an impressive result that can translate into significant momentum. iTunes rankings matter because higher positions often reflect a larger volume of direct fan purchases and can contribute to voting momentum and exposure.

Reported chart positions from last night:

• Kirk Jay — No. 10: “I’m Already There”
• Reagan Strange — No. 22: “You Say”
• Tyke James — No. 24: “Everything I Do (I Do It for You)”
• Chevel Shepherd — No. 42: “Little White Church”
• Chris Kroeze — No. 56: “Let It Be”
• Kennedy Holmes — No. 90: “Wind Beneath My Wings”
• Sarah Grace — No. 129: “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”
• Deandre Nico — No. 156: “I Can Only Imagine”

Other contestants charted outside the Top 200. Kirk Jay’s Top 10 placement is especially meaningful: with the highest charting single, he likely secures a significant streaming bonus and gains strong visibility. Tyke James charting at No. 24 was a surprise to some viewers and could help change expectations about who is most at risk this week.

Fan Poll: Favorite Top 13 Performance

1. Kirk Jay – Team Blake – I’m Already There — 21.16%
2. Chevel Shepherd – Team Kelly – Little White Church — 15.83%
3. MacKenzie Thomas – Team Jennifer – I Am Changing — 8.98%
4. Reagan Strange – Team Adam – You Say — 8.52%
5. Sarah Grace – Team Kelly – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road — 7.91%
6. Kennedy Holmes – Team Jennifer – Wind Beneath My Wings — 7.61%
7. Tyke James – Team Adam – (Everything I Do) I Do It For You — 6.24%
8. Lynnea Moore – Team Kelly – Wolves — 5.33%
9. SandyRedd – Team Jennifer – It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday — 5.18%

11. Kymberli Joye – Team Kelly – Diamonds — 3.96%
12. DeAndre Nico – Team Adam – I Can Only Imagine — 2.89%
13. Dave Fenley – Team Blake – Hard to Love — 2.28%

According to the poll, Kirk Jay’s country-leaning performance topped fan favorites, followed by Chevel Shepherd. Personal reactions differ—some viewers noted Sarah Grace’s musicality as particularly noteworthy—but the voting shows a consolidated lead for the top performers.

Fan Poll: Favorite Team

Fans also expressed their preferences for the coaches’ teams. The poll shows which coaches have the most fan support among the remaining contestants, which can influence viewer perceptions and voting behavior.

1. Team Kelly Clarkson — 35.62%
2. Team Jennifer Hudson — 28.54%
3. Team Blake Shelton — 23.61%
4. Team Adam Levine — 12.23%

Kelly Clarkson’s team leads the poll comfortably, reflecting strong viewer admiration for her contestants. That popularity can sometimes translate into votes, but individual performance momentum still matters most.

Who Might Be Eliminated?

Polls asked viewers to predict which two contestants would be eliminated. The results indicated several likely candidates, but iTunes placement and fan engagement complicate simple predictions. Below are the poll percentages for elimination risk:

1. Lynnea Moore – Team Kelly — 22.52%
2. Tyke James – Team Adam — 19.13%
3. Dave Fenley – Team Blake — 16.31%
4. SandyRedd – Team Jennifer — 13.50%
5. Kymberli Joye – Team Kelly — 6.31%
6. Chris Kroeze – Team Blake — 5.63%
7. DeAndre Nico – Team Adam — 5.24%
8. MacKenzie Thomas – Team Jennifer — 3.20%
9. Reagan Strange – Team Adam — 2.23%
10. Kennedy Holmes – Team Jennifer — 1.84%
11. Chevel Shepherd – Team Kelly — 1.65%
12. Sarah Grace – Team Kelly — 1.55%
13. Kirk Jay – Team Blake — 0.87%

Poll respondents most commonly selected Lynnea Moore and Tyke James as the likely eliminations. That said, Tyke’s stronger-than-expected iTunes placement could make him safer than voters anticipate. Conversely, contestants with lower poll support and limited chart presence may be at higher risk.

Prediction and Final Thoughts

Making a definitive prediction is difficult because voting patterns can shift quickly, especially once iTunes and streaming bonuses are factored in. Based on the poll data and chart activity, a reasonable prediction is that Lynnea Moore will be one of the two eliminated contestants this week. The second elimination is less certain; SandyRedd or Kymberli Joye could be vulnerable, though Tyke James’s iTunes showing complicates earlier expectations.

Ultimately, fan engagement—through calls, app votes, purchases and streaming—will determine who advances. Keep an eye on updated charts and official results after voting closes to see how the live performances translated into votes.
