Golden “Honey Bee”

Warner Music Nashville staff with President & CEO John Esposito

How sweet it is!

“Honey Bee” recorded by Blake Shelton buzzes beyond the hive to become the fastest rising single ever to sell over 500,000 units by a male country soloist—in seven weeks. The track was introduced during the ACM awards, hosted by Shelton and Reba, and downloaded 138,000 units its very first week.

The track will be featured on the newlywed’s upcoming Red River Blue album scheduled to debut July 12. Shelton is the reining CMA Male Vocalist and enjoying huge ratings as part of the TV singing competition, The Voice. “Honey Bee” follows his three consecutive No. 1 hits: “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking,” “All About Tonight” and “Hillbilly Bone.”
