Blake Shelton has earned his 31st No. 1 at country radio with “Stay Country or Die Tryin’,” out via Wheelhouse Records. The track was written by Drew Parker, Graham Barham, Sam Ellis and Beau Bailey.
“I’ve been around long enough to know you never take moments like this for granted, and a number one radio single is always worth celebrating,” says Shelton. “I love this song, and I’m so grateful the fans do too. There’s no better way to kick off the Vegas residency on Thursday than with ‘Stay Country or Die Tryin’’ at the top of the charts.”
The track is Shelton’s second No. 1 from his latest BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville album For Recreational Use Only, following “Texas,” which topped the charts last May.
Shelton has amassed 11 billion global streams, six ACM awards, three AMA awards, eleven CMA awards, eleven CMT awards and six People’s Choice awards. He recently wrapped the debut season of The Road, which he co-produced alongside Taylor Sheridan, David Glasser, Lee Metzger and headliner Keith Urban.
This week, Shelton is returning to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, with eight performances scheduled from Jan. 15 through Jan. 31. Tickets are available now.
