The Voice has produced nine winners to date, with Season 9's Jordan Smith being the latest!

With 2015 coming to a close, we have some wishes for the past winners of the NBC reality singing competition heading into next year.

Not all the winners have found loads of success following their champion status on the series, but hopefully 2016 will be a year for each of them to shine in one way or another.

Season 1 Winner Javier Colon
After winning the inaugural season of The Voice, Colon and the label didn't mesh well so the record deal ended. He did release Come Through for You while signed to the label in 2011, but nothing really has come since then.

On Christmas he issued a message via Facebook, noting new music is coming on the first of April in 2016 (We hope that is not a joke!).

"More new adventures to come in 2016," he further dished.

Hopefully he'll shine since he is quite talented.

Season 2 Winner Jermaine Paul
Like Colon, Paul had issues with the major label post-winning, but has continued working on music. Back in June this year he released a tune called "Working Sista" and he was supposed to have his debut album drop too this year, but it looks like it's still in the making.

Hopefully his album will release in 2016 so fans can finally hear a complete collection from him.

Season 3 Winner Cassadee Pope
The first female winner of the series had better luck with the label she was paired with post-win. Her debut solo country, pop/rock album Frame By Frame released in 2013 and she has been going fairly strong ever since. Over the summer, she released a new single called "I Am Invincible," which she performed during Season 9 of The Voice.

She is working on a sophomore album, which will most likely release in 2016! Here's to hoping it's just as successful as her debut, if not more so. Plus, she'll tour with Christ Young in early 2016 so go see her!

Season 4 Winner Danielle Bradbery
Like Pope, Bradbery has found success after The Voice. This year she released her lead single, "Friend Zone," from her second studio album, currently in the works.

"Friend Zone" shows that Bradbery is growing up!

Plus, in recent weeks she has been releasing acoustic videos such as "Mama Was A Liar," a new song to give fans a little tease of what's to come.

Hopefully 2016 brings her sophomore album and she'll continue to tour.

Season 5 Winner Tessanne Chin
Chin released an album on Republic Records post-win in 2014, which did okay on the charts. Meanwhile, this year she released a new single called "Fire" sans major label.

So shall we expect a new album from her in 2016? We hope so!

Season 6 Winner Josh Kaufman
Kaufman went in a different direction than the previous winners of The Voice since he appeared on stage in the title role for the 2013 Broadway revival of Pippin last year from November until it closed this January.

In November, he was filming a music video for a single, so hopefully that and more music will release in 2016!

Season 7 Winner Craig Wayne Boyd
Boyd, like many previous winners, parted ways with the major label since things weren't gelling. He has still been successful regardless.

He promises new music, tour dates and more for 2016, y'all!

Season 8 Winner Sawyer Fredericks
Fredericks recently released an EP through Republic Records and his debut album is due out in spring of 2016 so it's not too far off.

With his album coming out soon we hope that means plenty of touring will follow. For now, he at least has a few dates lined up in 2016 with Langhorne Slim.

Season 9 Winner Jordan Smith
Smith just won the latest season of The Voice earlier this month so we're just hoping he'll get to work on his debut album as soon as things settle from the holiday madness.

What do you want to see from these winners?

The Voice will return to NBC in 2016 for Season 10.
