Blake Shelton is on a mission.
Country music’s most powerful social media influencer has been imploring his 20.6 million Twitter followers to help Craig Morgan’s touching new song, “The Father, My Son & the Holy Ghost” reach No. 1 on the iTunes Country chart.
And it’s working. From Sept. 9—the date of Blake’s first tweet referencing the tune—to Sept. 11, the song has moved from No. 75 on the iTunes Country chart to No. 4 No. 2.
Blake has mentioned Craig’s song in more than 10 tweets.
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.
Come on everybody this song deserves to be number 1 atleast on iTunes. Tweet 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. @cmorganmusic https://t.co/QXJ2wjgF4g
