There’s little doubt this is Blake Shelton’s year. Not only did he marry his longtime love, country crooner Miranda Lambert, in May, but his musical star is at an all-time high. His single “Honey Bee” recently became his fourth consecutive No. 1 single, and his recently released album, “Red River Blue,” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s country and album charts the week of its release.

“Ten years into my career, it’s starting to bust wide open,” Shelton told Parade magazine. “I’m glad it’s happening this way, because if it had happened earlier, I don’t know that I would appreciate it like I do now.”
