Blake Shelton returns to the top of the country airplay charts for the 31st time with his latest hit single, “Stay Country or Die Tryin.’” This is his second number one from his BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville album For Recreational Use Only. The song was written by Drew Parker, Graham Barham, Sam Ellis, and Beau Bailey. “Stay Country or Die Tryin’” serves as a gritty, high-octane anthem celebrating rural resilience and small-town pride.
“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,” says Shelton. “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 returns to The Colosseum at Caesers Palace this week, with eight performances scheduled for January 15th-31st. (January 2026: 15, 18, 21, 23, 24, 28, 30, 31)
“This time we’re gonna do it more country, with more cocktails, and probably make a few more questionable decisions. Let’s go, Vegas,” shares Shelton.
Tickets to the following eight shows can be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com/BlakeSheltonVegas, with all shows scheduled to begin at 8pm.
