Nowadays many celebrities choose to keep their works separate from their private lives, but Blake Shelton is doing the opposite. Since dating Gwen Stefani in 2015, the 43-year-old country music crooner has collaborated with his girlfriend several times while maintaining a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.
They put their romance on display in their latest duet "Nobody But You" and it became a big success. The single rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated May 2 and peaked at the second spot on the airplay-, streaming- and sales-powered Hot Country Songs chart. It raked in 9.4 million U.S. streams and sold 9,000 downloads in the week ending April 23.
The song saw Blake and Gwen declaring their love to each other while the music video matched the romantic and heartfelt lyrics as it offered a look into the couple's day-to-day life in his Oklahoma ranch. It marked the third studio duet for the duo, following 2016's "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" and 2017's "You Make It Feel Like Christmas".
While Blake has topped country music charts numerous times, it's the first time for his girlfriend who started out her career as the frontwoman of pop/rock band No Doubt. "Gwen has a country hit right now!" Blake joked in a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon. "Who would have ever thought that Gwen Stefani on country radio?"
Gwen was pleasantly surprised by the feat. "Trying to wrap my head around the fact that I even get to know you Blake Shelton -let alone be on Such a beautiful classic duet w u?!" she tweeted. "Thank you ! for taking me along on this ride with you!! I am so grateful and blown away by all the support everyone has shown us!!?!!"
The single was featured in Blake's 2019 compilation album "Fully Loaded: God's Country". Powered with his most successful singles from two previous albums along with four new songs and a cover, the record debuted at the second position on Billboard Hot 200 and jumped straight to the first spot on the Top Country Albums ranking.
