Week 2: Top 12 (April 23–24)
This week's theme was “Story Behind The Song”. The two artists with the fewest votes competed for an Instant Save, with one artist eliminated from the competition. No artists received the iTunes vote multiplier this week as none of the singles reached the Top 10 iTunes.
Week 3: Top 11 (April 30, May 1)
The theme for this week was "Fan Night", meaning that the artists performed songs chosen by the fans.
iTunes bonuses were awarded to Pryor Baird (#4) and Britton Buchanan (#6).[10]
Week 4: Top 10 (May 7–8)
The theme for this week was “Overcoming Struggles”. This week featured double elimination and a bottom three facing Instant Save.
iTunes bonuses were awarded to Kyla Jade (#5), Brynn Cartelli (#8), Buchanan (#9), and Baird (#10).[11]
Week 5: Semifinals (May 14–15)
The Top 8 performed on Monday, May 14, 2018, with the results following on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. This week's theme is "Duet Medley Songs".[12] In the semifinals, three artists automatically moved on to next week's finale, the two artists with the fewest votes were immediately eliminated and the middle three contended for the remaining spot in next week's finale via the Instant Save. iTunes bonuses were awarded to Jade (#2), Buchanan (#3), Cartelli (#4), Kaleb Lee (#5), Baird (#7) and Spensha Baker (#10).[13] In addition to their individual songs, each artist performed a duet with another artist in the competition, though these duets were not available for purchase on iTunes.
With the elimination of Rayshun LaMarr, Levine no longer had any artists remaining on his team, making it the first time since the 4th season (and the third time overall, with the first time being the 3rd season) in which none of his artists represented him in the finale. With the advancement of Cartelli to the finale, Clarkson became the third new coach to successfully get an artist on their team to the finale on their first attempt as a coach, the second being Alicia Keys, who coached Wé McDonald all the way to the finale of the 11th season, and the first being Usher, who coached Michelle Chamuel all the way to the finale of the 4th season. This also marked the first time ever that two female coaches were represented in the finale, with Cartelli representing Clarkson, and Buchanan representing Keys.
Week 6: Finale (May 21–22)
The Final 4 performed on Monday, May 21, 2018, with the final results following on Tuesday, May 22, 2018. Finalists performed a solo cover song, a duet with their coach, and an original song. iTunes bonuses were awarded to Buchanan (#1 and #10), Cartelli (#3 and #6), Baker (#4) and Jade (#9).[14] Buchanan's "Where You Come From" and Cartelli's "Walk My Way" are the only songs that charted #1 on iTunes.
This is the first time that an artist who won the Instant Save in the semifinals didn't finish in the bottom two in the finals, with Buchanan finishing second. With Buchanan and Cartelli making it to the Top 2, this marked the first time in which the final results came down to two artists who have neither represented Shelton nor Levine, but two female coaches (Buchanan representing Alicia Keys, and Cartelli representing Kelly Clarkson), as well as the two coaches in the "middle chairs."
