Milestones this week from Idol, XF US and XF UK….that’s okay, The Voice is there for the right reasons and that’s not to create a superstar…or somebody who even gets played on the radio.
Let’s talk about Phil. He has milestones in 4 formats this week. First up, is HAC which has been kindest to him so far. His coronation song has gone top 15 in that format. Then, we have a trio of top 40 performances. “Home” has gone top 40 on AC, Pop and AAA. It is rare to see any Idol on AAA let alone in the top 40. This format is all about the singer-songwriter and paying your dues. For a coronation song to achieve top 40 in that format is doubly impressive. Jimmy Iovine has some mad Jedi A&R skills there and Phil sells it (even though he has been vocal about the song not representing him).
Next up is Cher Lloyd. Girl’s got game with “Want U Back” hitting milestones in two format. The song has gone top 10 on the powerful Pop chart and top 40 on Rhythmic. Also representing XF from fourth place, this time the US franchise, is Marcus Canty. His latest single “In and Out” went top 50 on Urban.
Finally, fourth place finisher from Season 7, Jason Castro has a new single out. “Only a Mountain” has sailed straight into the top 40 on CAC.
