Red River Blue debuted at No. 1 on the Soundscan Top Current Albums chart and Soundscan Top Country Albums chart with the Associated Press calling the album “the best album of his career.” Shelton’s infectious multi-week No. 1 hit, “Honey Bee" is also off his new album and is Shelton’s first ever digital Platinum single.

The single held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Country chart for four weeks in a row with over 40 million in audience. No country artist has held this record in almost six years. The single marks Shelton’s fourth consecutive No. 1 hit: “Honey Bee,” "Who Are You When I’m Not Looking," "All About Tonight" and "Hillbilly Bone." Shelton has nine No. 1 hits and has not had a single peak outside the Top Ten since 2007.
