Leesburg's own American Idol Phillip Phillips has done it again and claimed the top of the iTunes top song chart.

According to EnertainmentWeekly.com, Phillips' boost has come from song placement during the Olympics. His first single "Home" has been used in various sections of coverage for women's gymnastics and for segments involving the gymnasts of Team USA.

This is the second time that Phillips has topped charts at iTunes as he held the record shortly after winning the 2012 American Idol contest in May. "Home" was certified gold last month by the RIAA for selling over 500,000 copies.
