Breanna Nix, who placed third on this season of American Idol, just proved you don’t have to win the show to own the charts. Her debut single “Higher” has officially hit No. 1 on Apple’s Country Chart, even passing up winner Jamal Roberts’ post-Idol single. The best part? She saw it coming from Day 1.
Back during Hollywood Week, Breanna posted a clip calling Jamal the future winner. “He’s anointed,” she said. And when he won, she was one of the first to celebrate him. But now, she’s the one fans are screaming for—because “Higher” hit differently.

Breanna’s voice, her message, and her heart are what people are connecting to. The comments are filled with love: “This song gave me strength,” “She’s got God in her vocals,” and “She should’ve won Idol.” But maybe this is even better.
