Blake Shelton has continued his historic run atop the charts, this time bringing a friend along for the ride. Shelton’s duet with Warner Bros. Records label mate and close friend Ashley Monroe hit No. 1 this week on both the Billboard and Mediabase country charts. It’s Shelton’s 14th consecutive chart-topper in both polls, a genre record in the monitored airplay era and Monroe’s first No. 1.
“It’s absolutely unbelievable to have my 19th No. 1 song and 14th in a row -- I’m blown away,” says Shelton. “But what I’m most excited about with this particular song is that it’s the launch of Ashley Monroe’s solo career. She’s so talented and deserves this opportunity. That’s really the highlight of this one for me is to see her finally getting the credit she’s deserved for a long time.”
“Thanks to Blake from the bottom of my heart for inviting me to be a part of this special song,” adds Monroe. “It’s so incredible to see my name aside his at the No. 1 spot on the charts. Since I was a little girl it’s been my dream to be a part of country radio and this is truly a dream come true for me.”
Shelton now has 19 total No. 1 hits to date.
