Chris Stapleton Discusses Songwriting With ’60 Minutes’

Firstly, Chris Stapleton is one of the best songwriters in country music. Furthermore, he has written over 300 songs with a few of them going number one. Although, not every song is going to be a hit. It’s up to the fans to decide whether a song is really good or just fair. The music industry is a hard career, but Chris Stapleton can make it look easy with his lyricism.

In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, Stapleton explains how an artist can never guess how much recognition their songs will get. For instance, if you think one is going to be a hit, it might not get as many streams. And vice versa.

“I don’t think I ever know that. The win is finishing the song. There are a lot of songwriters who will claim ‘Yeah, I knew when we wrote this that it was a six-week number one and I was gonna get a big, giant check in the mail.’ I really just think those guys are full of sh**. I don’t think anyone knows that,” Stapleton told 60 Minutes.

All in all, the music industry requires great skill, but as Stapleton explained, a bit of luck too.
