Phillip Phillips 'Home' could move 200K units this week thanks to Olympics

American Idol winner Phillip Phillips' "Home" has returned to #1 on iTunes this week, thanks to NBC's use of the single during its London 2012 Olympics. NBC used it in the very popular Women's Gymnastics competition.

THR reports that the single could sell as much as 200,000 by the end of the week Sunday. Congratulations Phillip! I love this song!

From THR:

"Home," the coronation song by 2012 American Idol season 11 winner Phillip Phillips, is getting a second life -- thanks to the Olympics.

The song, chosen for Phillips by Interscope Geffen A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine and first released in May, has been used repeatedly as a theme during NBC's broadcast of its women's gymnastics coverage.
Industry sources are forecasting that the song could sell around 200,000 downloads by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Aug. 5. To put that in perspective, in the most recent week (ending July 29), only one song sold more than 200,000: Flo Rida's "Whistle," with 237,000.
