P2′s Home is at #8, while GGG jumped to #309 on iTune as of 3:30 pm Central time as reported by LivePopBars 

#268 when I just checked. That’s an ok bounce. It would even be better if it broke into the top 200 songs on iTunes.

 Now if it breaks into the top 100 that would even be MORE amazing.
(It looks like it will in Canada. )

What people have to remember is that i-tunes is a rolling chart, so you should not expect to see the effect right away. It takes around a day, day and a half for the song to climb to it’s peak position based on one time exposure, like televised performance. Just remember the chart performance of covers from the Voice.
I stand by my assertion that Gone 3x has a lot of potential as commercial single and from what I have seen so far, so very good…

TWFTSOTM has moved up to #20 on ITunes. There is still Jimmy Kimmel tonight as well as the big Season 12 premiere.

They only showed a few minutes of Home and no GGG at all. Still it got a good bump from Ellen and maybe Kimmel will help it break into the top 100 songs on iTunes.

From Chart Watch

As American Idol begins its new season, Season 11 champ Phillip Phillips continues to move up the ranks of all-time Idol contestants.
Phillips’ smash “Home” (which drops from #6 to #9 on Hot100 this week) has sold
3,606,000 copies, which puts it in third place among all songs released
by Idol contestants. It trails only Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” (4,053,000) and Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” (3,682,000). “Home” is still selling briskly (122K this week alone, digital sales rank: #7), so it will probably soon be the Idol leader.
It is Home’s 29th week on the chart. This is its 11th week in the top 10.
