Just Curious, today's #1 song on iTunes

I was browsing the iTunes store and noticed that Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley is the number one selling song. I'm curious if there is an explanation for this. Has it recently been in a TV show or movie? It's a good song that I bought several months ago, just not one that I would expect to be a top seller.

American Idol.

Simon Cowell saying it was one of his favorite songs = massive downloads

Good song but in no way is it the best from the album...

Did he just say the song or that version specifically?

That makes sense. I was curious where the exposure came from. Didn't know people still watched Idol though.

Definitely. It's still got a huge following.
