BLAKE'S RECORD-BREAKING RADIO DEBUT
11/19/24

Blake Shelton, who’s no stranger to country radio love, just had the single biggest radio add day of his career with the anthemic “Texas.”

The track, Shelton's first for Wheelhouse/BBR/BMG Nashville, dropped on 11/15 and racked up 156 adds, 149 of which are Mediabase reporting outlets, right out of the box. Shelton will take “Texas” to the stage of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday (11/20) for an interview and outdoor stage performance of the song.

Reflecting on the success, Shelton said, “I moved to Nashville the month after I graduated from high school to sing country music and hopefully get to hear one of my songs on the radio. After all these years, it’s still exciting, and thanks to fans for listening and coming out to shows. I can’t wait to play ‘Texas’ live!”

The star already has a full calendar for early 2025, starting with his Live In Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which is set for 2/ 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15. His Friends And Heroes Tour, featuring support from Craig Morgan, Deana Carter, Trace Adkins and Emily Ann Roberts. will kick off at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky on 2/27.
