Three more artists turned four chairs as The Voice continued its Season 26 auditions Monday night.
The four-chair turns went to Georgia Starnes, who picked Team Snoop Dogg; Jeremy Beloate, who opted for Team Michael and Frankie Torres, who closed out the night by decided to join Team Gwen.
If you’re counting, Snoop Dogg and Gwen lead in four-chair turns, each landing three such artists so far.
Michael and Reba McEntire each have two four-chair turns, meaning 10 artists have already earned one this season.
Gwen also became the third coach to hit her replay button Monday night.

Gwen wants to help him find his lane as an artist. Jeremy opts to join Team Michael.
Jaylen Dunham, 14, Charlotte, N.C., “Listen” by Beyonce: Jaylen opens sounding more maure than you’d expect from someone so young. He showed off nice power too, but no one turned.

MisterMoon (Leah Colon, 26, and Savs, 28), Nashville, Tenn., “Deeper Well” by Kacey Musgraves: Wow, this duo sounds great together.

Though the ladies expressed a preference for Team Reba prior to their audition, MisterMoon decided to join Team Snoop.
Frankie Torres, 24, Minnetonka, Minn., “Magic Man” by Heart: The minute her vocal swelled, you knew chairs had to turn.
