Mission accomplished, Blake Shelton.
Country musicâs most powerful social media influencer implored his 20.6 million Twitter followers to help Craig Morganâs touching new song, âThe Father, My Son & the Holy Ghostâ reach No. 1 on the iTunes Country chart. And it worked.
From Sept. 9âthe date of Blakeâs first tweet referencing the tuneâto Sept. 12, the song moved from No. 75 on the iTunes Country Songs chart to No. 1.
The tune also reached No. 1 on the all-genre iTunes Top Songs chart.
Blake mentioned Craigâs song in more than 20 tweets. He also got some of his famous friends involved via Twitter, including Ellen DeGeneres, Carson Daly, Meghan Trainor and more.
The new tune, which Craig penned and produced, honors his late son, Jerry Greer, who passed away after a boating accident in July 2016 at the age of 19.
âCome on everybody this song deserves to be number 1 at least on iTunes,â said Blake via Twitter on Sept. 9. âTweet your friends, tag the song. All people need to do is hear it once. They will want to own it. This song deserves to be recognized.@cmorganmusicâ
âAhhhhh!!!!!!! Yâall did it!!!!! Yâall did!!!â said Blake via Twitter on Sept. 12. âYou gave @cmorganmusic and this song the shot it deserves! Itâs a #1 Country song on @AppleMusic!!!â
