Which Songs Have Gotten the Most Chair Turns on The Voice Blind Auditions?

These are the songs the Coaches can't get enough of on The Voice.

By Elizabeth Logan

If you've seen any episode of The Voice, you know how important song choice is in the Blind Auditions. A prospective Artist needs to find a crowd-pleaser that blends with their tone and shows some personality. Over the 26 seasons of the show (Season 27 is currently underway), some clear favorites have emerged, from songs that are almost guaranteed to get a chair turn to singers who have been covered over and over. Here's what the stats say.

John Mayer's "Gravity" has the most chair turns in Voice history

How to Watch

Watch The Voice on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

Mayer's slow-tempo song gives Artists the opportunity to show off their vocals, and over the four performances in Blinds throughout The Voice history, it's received 13 chair turns. Coming in tied for second are John Prine's "Angel From Montgomery" (three performances) and The Mamas & The Papas' "Dream a Little Dream of Me" (four performances), with 12 chair turns each.

"Here For The Party" by Gretchen Wilson and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" by Bob Dylan have both clocked 11 chair turns, with four and five performances, respectively. Something about those lyrics just connect!

The 10-turn club is pretty full, and includes "Dancing on My Own" by Robyn (four performances), "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac (four performances), "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith (five performances) and "River" by Leon Bridges (four performances).

Other top turners include Fleetwood Mac (33), former The Voice Coach Kelly Clarkson (29), Ed Sheeran (28), Elton John (27), The Beatles (27), Aretha Franklin (26), Stevie Wonder (26), and Taylor Swift (26). It's a brave singer who performs a Coach's song, but it's worked out in the past!
