Did Adam Levine Ever Win ‘The Voice’? Look Back at His Coaching Journey Amid His Season 27 Return
Adam Levine returned to The Voice as a coach for season 27 following a five-year hiatus from the hit NBC singing competition. Now that he’s back with the hopes of leading one lucky contestant to victory, fans are eager to know if Adam has ever won The Voice? Life & Style looks back on his coaching journey on the show.
When Did Adam Levine Join ‘The Voice?’
Adam coached The Voice contestants from the very beginning before taking a break. He and former coach Blake Shelton were perched in those spinning, red thrones when the televised singing competition premiered in 2011 alongside Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green.
However, he announced his return to the show for season 27 in 2024.
“The OG is back in the building! I’M COMING BACK to #TheVoice next Spring 2025,” Adam captioned an Instagram post that June. “Can’t wait! V27 @nbcthevoice #TeamAdam.”
Adam Levine Has Won ‘The Voice’ 3 Times
He’d probably like you to think his track record reigns supreme, but Adam is actually not the top coach when it comes to reaching the finish line.
Team Adam has won three seasons so far — season 1, season 5, and season 9. For the record, the contestants he ushered to victory were Javier Colon, Tessanne Chin, and Jordan Smith.
Sounds impressive, right? Not when you scope out Blake Shelton’s track record prior to his own departure from the show in May 2023. Team Blake won a total of nine seasons!
After Jordan earned the honor in 2015, Adam relished his triumph over Blake. “It’s really quite beautiful because Jordan gets to win The Voice and I get to tear Blake apart for the next six months,” he told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “[I’ll be] bragging about my win and his drought of victory. It’s gonna be great.”
The country hitmaker’s memory lives on in season 27 as current coach Kelsea Ballerini has a Blake Shelton button on her red chair which says some of his signature insults when pushed.
Adam and Kelsea are facing off with fellow coaches John Legend and Michael Bublé this time around.
“I have it for when I really need some backup,” Kelsea quipped about her Blake button.
Adam does have a leg up considering he is the coach with the most wins out of the current panel. Team Michael won season 26 with contestant Sofronio Vasquez and Team John won season 16 with contestant Maelyn Jarmon. Fans will see if newcomer Kelsea can secure a win.
Why Did Adam Levine Leave the Show and Decide to Return for Season 27?
Adam revealed he stepped away to spend more time with his family following season 16. The performer and supermodel wife Behati Prinsloo share three children: daughters Dusty Rose and Gio Grace, as well as a son.
As for what led to him coming back for season 27, “The only way to sum it up is that just energetically … the opportunity came at the right moment and I was really ready, and we started talking about it and one thing led to another and here I am. It was that simple,” Adam shared with NBC Insider. “It didn’t involve too much deliberation or overthinking. I kind of just felt ready. I was really happy to come back and experience it again with these three wonderful people.”
