The “American Idol” finale audience slumped to a record low, but the show’s newly crowned champion Phillip Phillips hit No.1 on iTunes with his first single “Home.”

The 11-year-old Fox singing contest, once a TV industry juggernaut whose finale attracted more than 30 million viewers in 2006 and 2007, was watched by just 21.5 million viewers on Wednesday night, according to ratings data.
