While promoting his newly released album For Recreational Use Only, Blake Shelton stopped by Apple Music’s The Kelleigh Bannen Show. They spoke about his 30th #1 single, his relationship with his wife, Gwen Stefani, and his new music

Shelton’s single, “Texas,” became the 30th #1 of his career and broke a personal record by being the most first-week radio adds of his entire career! 156 radio stations added “Texas” to their rotation.

Shelton wrote in a thank you note to his fans, “‘Texas’ is my 30th #1 as an artist. 30 is a lot of anything, and to have 30 number one songs is unbelievable, and I’m really trying to take it all in.”

Shelton Credits Gwen Stefani For His Renewed Faith

It’s pretty common for country singers to write songs about their faith. Heck, some even release full albums about it. Shelton doesn’t have a lot of religious songs, but one that comes to mind is 2016’s “Savior’s Shadow,” which peaked at #14 on the Hot Christian Songs chart.

While Shelton is known for his sense of humor and fun-loving attitude, his love for God is prevalent.

During the interniew, Bannen asked him, “Do you have a different or changing relationship with your faith now being in your mid- 40s?” 

Without hesitation, he said, “Yeah, I would say that. And that comes from Gwen’s influence. I’ve learned so much from her. She’s really the person that’s has helped me get in touch with my faith, and get serious about it, and not just something you say at an award show.”
