RaeLynn's Unexpected Windfall: How Blake Shelton's Hit Song 'Boys 'Round Here' Led to a $40,000 Surprise
Blake Shelton's hit song "Boys 'Round Here" featuring RaeLynn turned out to be a financial blessing for the latter. Initially unaware of receiving royalties for her contribution to the track, RaeLynn was surprised when a $40,000 Sound Exchange check arrived just when she needed it most. This unexpected windfall came in 2021, eight years after the song's release. RaeLynn, who also collaborated with Shelton on "Why I Got a Truck," and Mitchell Tenpenny on "Get That All the Time," recently dropped a Christmas EP titled Jingle Jangle Rock. The festive five-track EP includes covers of Chuck Berry's "Run Run Rudolph" and Alan Jackson's "I Only Want You for Christmas," along with three new originals. Described as a holiday soundtrack perfect for family gatherings and hot toddies, RaeLynn's EP showcases her musical versatility and holiday spirit.
