Although Phillip Phillips had to be taken to the doctor several times during the run of the show, his persistence paid off, and he went on to win it. His coronation song, meaning the first song released by each winner of the show after their win is declared, was called “Home” and is considered to be the best among all the other seasons. Looking at Phillip’s number of albums sold, one wouldn’t think that he has released only two! He has surely gained much success in a short amount of time. In fact, he is the most recent contestant on our list being the winner of season 11.
