Blake Shelton has ended his longtime partnership with Warner Music Nashville.  He signed with the record label in 2001 when his 1st hit “Austin” was climbing the charts.   Blake Shelton had 28 # 1 songs with the record company and made the announcement Tuesday morning (Sep. 3rd) indicating the split was amicable.

“I moved to Nashville when I was 17 to sing country music and get a record deal.  Along with the support from Warner, my dreams came true and then some.  A huge and heartfelt thank you to the Giant Records, Warner Bros. Records and Warner Music Nashville staff and family.”
