How did Chris Stapleton become famous?
Chris Stapleton has jokingly been referred to as an overnight success. This is because the Grammy winner was writing hit songs for others long before he became famous as a singer in his own right. In fact, he has over 400 songs listed by the BMI Repertoire. He has penned hits for The Steel Drivers, George Strait, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, and Tim McGraw.
While he began his songwriting career around 2001, Stapleton did not release his own debut solo album until 2015. The album, Traveller, became a massive hit with critics and commercially. It won three CMA Awards, including Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and New Artist of the Year. It also won the Grammy for Best Country Album and Best Country Solo Performance, with a nomination for Album of the Year. All of this success and accolades put Stapleton on the map.

How much money does Chris Stapleton make a year?
Sources estimate that Chris Stapleton earns over $2 million per year. He likely earns this money through royalties from songwriting and proceeds from his own music career. However, this number likely varies from year to year depending on the number of projects he undertakes at a time and their respective successes.
Stapleton has discussed his love of music. “I don't think it does get any more country than that. When people don't want to label me something other than a country singer—you know, I don't probably sing like a traditional country singer you know, but, ultimately, I'm me. And I'm just trying to be the best version of that that I can be. And whether that's playing a song that leans into blues or a song that leans into R&B or a song that leans into really distinctly outlaw country. I love all that music. And I don't feel limited to playing one type of song.”

How much does Chris Stapleton make per show?
The amount that Chris Stapleton earns per show varies from year to year and the type of tour he is apart of. For the All-American Road Show tour, in 2017 he earned $637,000 per night. The following year he earned $903,000. This year, the number is around $937,000.
Of course, Stapleton likely isn’t able to pocket the full amount that he earns per show because there are many who receive a percentage of this kind of profit.
Stapleton has commented on his career’s beginnings, saying, “I met somebody who was a songwriter. And then it was just like, that's a job? They're gonna pay you to sit in a room and make things up on guitar? I need that job. That's the job I want.”
