Blake Shelton is giving fans something concrete to celebrate amid a swirl of online noise surrounding his relationship with Gwen Stefani.
Just days after publicly speaking out about rumors about his marriage to Stefani, the country star has scored the 31st No. 1 hit of his career on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
The chart-topper is the second single from Shelton’s latest album, For Recreational Use Only, continuing a streak that has defined his decades-long run in country music. The milestone follows his 30th No. 1, “Texas,” which hit the top spot back in May 2025.
“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,” Shelton, 49, said, per ABC Audio. “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.”
Shelton is set to take the stage for an eight-show residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from January 15 through the 31, a run he’s promised will lean heavily into his roots.

The chart news landed shortly after Shelton spoke about the toll of constant speculation surrounding his relationship with Stefani, 56, including the persistent divorce rumors circulating online.
“Starting in October, I think, or maybe November, I started noticing these articles popping up about ‘Blake and Gwen, they’re split up, they’re not even seeing each other anymore, they’re going through a divorce,’” Shelton said on Country Countdown USA, noting how quickly narratives flip depending on whether the couple is photographed together.
He added that manipulated images online have made him skeptical of nearly everything he sees. “I don’t believe anything anymore that I see on the internet. I mean, nothing. I just don’t believe it.”
