Blake Shelton has reached a milestone in album sales that not many artists have reached, 10 million!

Blake wrapped up his 2016 tour last weekend with a two-night stay at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Music Row reports that Warner Music Nashville executives and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) members flew in to surprise Blake backstage with a plaque commemorating the huge sales milestone.

The photographer hired to take pictures at Blake’s meet-n-greets captured a picture of the presentation and shared it on his Facebook page that you can see below.

Notice that the photographer reported that Blake was truly “surprised, happy and a bit emotional” about reaching the milestone and receiving the plaque.

The plaque appears to include all ten of Blake’s studio albums; “Blake Shelton” (2001), “The Dreamer” (2003), “Blake Shelton’s Barn & Grill” (2004), “Pure BS” (2007), “Startin’ Fires” (2008), “Red River Blue” (2011), “Cheers, It’s Christmas” (2012), “Based On A True Story…” (2013), “Bringing Back The Sunshine” (2014) and “If I’m Honest” (2016).

Blake joins an elite list of male country artists to reach the 10 million sales mark that includes only four others in the past 15 years.

Congratulations to Blake Shelton on reaching the RIAA 10 million album sales certification!
