Colton Dixon Hits #1 with "Never Gone"

Colton Dixon, hailing from Murfreesboro,Tn, has had quite a memorable and life-changing year. Since becoming a crowd favorite on season 11 of American Idol and making it into the final 7, also having a shocking exit, he has been on a whirl wind ride. Dixon's song "Never Gone" is currently the #1 song on Itunes in the Christian category and he also holds the #4 spot with his song "You Are". Both songs are off of his debut album, A Messenger, released on January 29, 2013.

Colton got a huge affirmation of achievement when on Tuesday's American Idol, front runner Angela Miller sang one of his own songs. Miller did a stunning piano style arrangement of Dixon's song, "Never Gone." Being so newly removed from Idol himself, it was an honor for him. He even posted a picture on his instagram (@coltondixonmusic) of his reaction to watching Miller sing his song live on TV.
