Angie Miller's Idol performance has sent "Never Gone" to #1 on the iTunes Christian and Gospel charts. Colton Dixon's debut album, A Messenger sits at the #1 spot as well.

Dixon was always a favorite to win season 11 of American Idol. Since being eliminated, only Dixon and Idol winner Phillip Phillips have released full-length albums. Predicted to win season 11, Dixon was a shocking elimination. Dixon himself cites his decision to cover Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" as the main reason for being kicked off the show. Though the performance was great, he did feel it alienated him from his audience.

To get back in touch with his Christian demographic, veteran Christian rockers, Third Day, have brought Colton Dixon along on their "The Miracle Tour." The 45-city tour kicked off late February with Third Day, Dixon and rising singer/songwriter Josh Wilson.
