Friends, family, industry well-wishers and Major League Baseball player Barry Bonds gathered in BMI’s Music Row lobby Friday, March 13 to help Blake Shelton celebrate his fifth chart-topper “She Wouldn’t Be Gone,” from his current CD Startin’ Fires and his second consecutive No. 1 following his smash hit “Home.” BMI songwriters Cory Batten and Jennifer Adan, co-writers of “She Wouldn’t Be Gone,” celebrate their first No. 1 single. (Bonds was in attendance via invitation from family friend Adan.)

While in New York, Blake Shelton stopped by to visit the lovely ladies of People Magazine. He promised to give them the exclusive shots of his visit in exchange for them posting an interview with him on their site. I think Blake got the better end of the deal.

This motley crew is non other than the kick a*s WBR promo staff! In less than 12 months they have had three #1 songs on the country charts.

Butts were pinched, women became faint, some guys got lucky ;), a couple even got engaged...NO it was not the latest season of Big Brother, rather the Michael Buble show in Nashville, TN! And as if that was not enough, Nashville's own Blake Shelton stepped onstage with the Canadian-Italian Crooner himself to help him out with one of his biggest songs, "HOME"!!! I think everyone would agree that Mr. Buble provided EVERYTHING his fans have come to expect of this A+ entertainer!
