Blake Rises to the Top with "All About Tonight" at NO. 1 on the Country Music Charts posted Aug 16 2010. Thanks to you and country radio, Blake is celebrating his 7th No. 1! Read the press release below:

Blake Shelton Rises To The Top With "All About Tonight" At No. 1 On The Country Music Charts
"All About Tonight" is the title track off Shelton's new album and his seventh No. 1 single

Nashville, TN -- Right on the heels of the release of his latest album, Academy of Country Music and CMT Award winner, Blake Shelton hits No. 1 on the Billboard and Country Aircheck (Mediabase) charts with his single, "All About Tonight." For one of the "most versatile of contempoary country singers" (The New York Times), this hit marks his second No. 1 of the year - "Hillbilly Bone" peaked at No. 1 on March 15 - and seventh of his career. Shelton has not had a single peak outside the Top Ten since 2007.

"I just want to thank my fans, friends and country radio for making this single a number one for me," says Blake. "This wouldn't have been possible without Bob Reeves and the Warner Music Nashville promo staff. I have never had two No.1's within five months of each other. Bob and his team continue to show us how committed and passionate they are about my music -- for that, I am truly grateful. I said this back in March, and I'll say it again, this is the best year of my career. Thank you."

Shelton's latest SIX PAK is produced by Scott Hendricks and includes six new tracks. Shelton's first SIX PAK album, "Hillbilly Bone," was released earlier this year and debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's Top 200 chart and No. 2 on the Top Country Albums Chart. It also featured the No. 1 title track with longtime friend Trace Adkins. Shelton hits include his back-to-back multi-week No. 1 singles, "She Wouldn't Be Gone" and "Home," his six-week #1 debut single, "Austin," and two additional multi-week No. 1 singles with "The Baby" and "Some Beach."

Fraze Pavilion Ranks 14th on Pollstar Mid-Year Worldwide Amphitheatre Ticket Sales Report

Pollstar Magazine recently released their 2010 Mid-Year Worldwide Ticket Sales Report and Kettering's Fraze Pavilion ranked 14th of the Top 50 Amphitheater Venues.

All figures reported to Pollstar are for tickets sold worldwide for shows played between January 1, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

"Wow, we've certainly never been this high on the Mid Year list," says Karen Durham, General Manager of Fraze Pavilion. "We started our season early this summer with a sold out Goo Goo Dolls concert and a near full house for Gregg Allman. We were incredibly busy in June so it isn't surprising we ranked so high for the first half of the season! It is impossible to accomplish these sales without great artists, and more importantly, great audiences and ticket buyers who visit Fraze each summer."

Fraze Pavilion ranked higher in the Mid Year venue report than larger amphitheaters in major cities such as Los Angeles, Baltimore, Dallas, Phoenix, Houston and Atlanta.
