The Coaches are key to The Voice: Their powerhouse vocals, competitive spirit, and coveted Four-Chair turning moments have made way for some extremely talented winners.
How to Watch
Watch The Voice Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock.
But part of the fun of the show — and the heart of the competition — is having Coaches from all across the industry and always at the top of their games. From EGOT-winners like John Legend and Jennifer Hudson to country music legends like Reba McEntire to the new generation of pop artists like Niall Horan, Artists benefit genuine advice from (and competition between) music industry icons with unique perspectives.
So which legends have battled it out in the Red Chairs over the course of 25 — and soon to be 27 — seasons?

Not only is the country star the longest-serving Coach in the show’s history (he’s appeared on every single season since the first in 2011), he also has the most wins. Nine of Blake Shelton’s mentees — Jermaine Paul (Season 2), Cassadee Pope (Season 3), Danielle Bradbery (Season 4), Craig Wayne Boyd (Season 7), Sundance Head (Season 11), Chloe Kohanski (Season 13), Todd Tilghman (Season 18), Cam Anthony (Season 20), and Bryce Leatherwood (Season 22) — have taken home the trophy.
Unfortunately, he announced in 2023 that Season 23 will be his last.

The Grammy-winning Maroon 5 frontman and OG Voice Coach was with the show for its first 16 seasons, until his exit in 2019. During his tenure, he won the show three times: Season 1 with Javier Colon; Season 5 with Tessanne Chin; and Season 9 with Jordan Smith.
Levine also developed a hilarious love-hate relationship with Shelton, and the two reunited when Maroon 5 performed during the show’s Season 20 finale.
It was announced in June 2024 that Levine would be returning to his red chair for Season 27.

Though he only appeared on two seasons, Team Usher made its impact.
Usher currently holds the record for having the most contestants stolen by other coaches during the Battle Rounds: In Season 6, Shelton and Levin each stole three members of Team Usher in two rounds of Battles, for a total of six. Usher, however, stole Josh Kaufman from Team Adam, and the two of them took home the grand prize at the end of the season.
Usher returned in Season 8 as a Top 8 Advisor to Team Adam, in Season 17 as a Battle Advisor for Team Legend, and in Season 19 as a Key Advisor for all the teams.
