When Does Chris Stapleton Know He Has a Win as a Songwriter? [VIDEO]

Chris Stapleton was the focus of a 60 Minutes profile Sunday (1/16). He shared with CBS’s Sharyn Alfonsi when he knows he has a win as a songwriter.

“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 the instant that we wrote this one 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 S-beep. I don’t think anybody knows that.”

The latest single from Chris is titled “You Should Probably Leave.” It is sitting at #3 this week on the Billboard Country Airplay singles chart.
