'Love You This Big' and 'Like My Mother Does' now available on iTunes

The debut singles of Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina are now available on iTunes. As of this morning, Scotty is at #1 and Lauren is at #3. Scotty leads in the 'ratings' stars on iTunes.

I think next season it would be a great idea to not hide the sales rank of the Idols on iTunes. Obviously, it doesn't matter.

'Like My Mother Does' is really great. 'Love You Like This' is a bit sleepy for me. I really have no idea how these singles will perform after the post-Idol finale 'high'. Will they linger in the charts like the Glee songs? The rest of Scotty's and Lauren's recordings are also in the charts, but they are in the 100's already (along with three Haley Reinhart tracks).
