Blake Shelton is about to mark the 20th anniversary of his first #1 song, “Austin.” To celebrate, he’ll be releasing a limited edition, vinyl version.
Blake recalled the first time he heard it on the radio as he was driving through Nashville traffic and said, “I kept looking to both sides trying to see if other drivers were singing along! At that time, the station had a slogan about how they played new artists and legends, and the DJ said something like, ‘Who knows… maybe this artist will become one of the legends.’ This song started it all for me. I couldn’t be prouder to celebrate its 20th anniversary.”
Over the last 2 decades, Blake has racked up 28, #1 singles and had more than 5 billion on-demands streams of his songs.
The vinyl version of “Austin” is set for pre-release sales on April 16, the exact day of the single’s release date.
TL;DR:
- Blake Shelton will soon celebrate the 20th anniversary of his first #1 song, “Austin.”
- A limited edition, vinyl version goes on sale April 16.
