\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely unbelievable to have my 19th # 1 song and 14th in a row \u2014 I\u2019m blown away,\u201d said Shelton. \u201cBut what I\u2019m most excited about with this particular song is that it\u2019s the launch of Ashley Monroe\u2019s solo career and she\u2019s so talented and deserves this opportunity. That\u2019s really the highlight of this one for me is to see her finally getting the credit she\u2019s deserved for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to Blake from the bottom of my heart for inviting me to be a part of this special song,\u201d said Monroe. \u201cIt\u2019s so incredible to see my name aside his at the #1 spot on the charts. Since I was a little girl it\u2019s been my dream to be a part of country radio and this is truly a dream come true for me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Academy of Country Music Awards-nominated song is the second No. 1 single from his new album BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE for \u201cThe Voice\u201d coach, Country Music Association Awards Entertainer of the Year and reigning five-time Male Vocalist of the Year. Shelton started the eighth season of \u201cThe Voice\u201d earlier this month with popular coach pursuing Team Blake\u2019s fifth win.<\/p>\n

Shelton is also preparing to co-host the 50th ACM Awards with Luke Bryan at the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas where he is also nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year. The performer will play a selection of major festival dates through this summer.<\/p>\n
