American Idol winner, Phillip Phillips’ coronation song, “Home” has exploded on the iTunes chart, thanks to exposure on the London Olympics within the past two weeks.
The song’s rapid ascent, and the popularity of the 2012 games, has led to pop radio stations across the country to spin it–but in a customized version mixed in with Olympic highlights.
At pop station Z100 in New York City, their version is garnering such strong audience reaction, it is in rotation in all dayparts, according to industry website FMBQ.
“Home” will get one last bit of exposure during the closing ceremonies on Sunday, according to the NBC executive responsible for championing “Home” at the network. The question is, will pop and HAC stations continue to spin it after the games are over?
