Blake Shelton’s team has won The Voice nine times: Season 2 (Jermaine Paul), Season 3 (Cassadee Pope), Season 4 (Danielle Bradbery), Season 7 (Craig Wayne Boyd), Season 11 (Sundance Head), Season 13 (Chloe Kohanski), Season 18 (Todd Tilghman), Season 20 (Cam Anthony), and Season 22 (Bryce Leatherwood).
The veteran coach is about to begin his final season on the show, and if he wins season 23, it will make him the only coach that has won the show 10 times. It’s a nice round number to go out on. Therefore, the coach will be giving his final The Voice season everything he’s got.

The Voice: 10 Most Surprising Moments
Check out the new promo, which highlights clips from the new season. Joining Blake on the panel will be Kelly Clarkson, returning after skipping a season, and newbies Chance the Rapper and X Factor and One Direction alum Niall Horan.
“This is my last season as a coach on The Voice, after 23 seasons,” Blake reminds fans in the new clip. Cut to Kelly yelling, “He’s so tired!” and Blake firing back, “I’m tired of this!”
Cut to Chance who declares, “This is starting to feel like a COMPETITION!”
Back to Blake who accuses Niall of “stealing my incredible artistic expression.” Niall responds, “I feel like a young you” Blake answers “I can see it now!” (The show seems to setting up a father/son, mentor/mentee narrative between these two. It will undoubtedly be filtered through a bunch of snarking and ribbing.)
And in case anyone has forgotten: “I Just want everybody here to know that there is only one king of The Voice. Only one!” Cut to Blake’s major prop–a big red foam finger suspended over his head that dings.
“I feel like they owe me a damn chair”
Although Blake would surely love a win, what he really wants when he rides off into the sunset at the end of season 3 is his Big Red Chair.
“I don’t know if they’re gonna offer that or not. I feel like they owe me a damn chair though,” he told People magazine in a recent interview. “I mean, who else can sit in my chair? It’s like the three bears — I don’t want anybody else sitting in my chair. I’m gonna try to get that away from them. Maybe I’ll have to buy it or something.”
“I’m sure they’re gonna say, ‘Well, the one thing you took was a lot of our money, so you should be happy with that,'” Blake quipped.
