Chris Stapleton has a voice that could probably make a phone book sound good if he sang it. Apparently, it also helps people hit the replay button about a billion times, too.
Chris Stapleton Joins Taylor Swift + Morgan Wallen in Rare Spotify Achievement
Stapleton just scored his second song with more than 1 billion streams on Spotify, thanks to “You Should Probably Leave.” Not bad for a song that basically tells somebody it’s time to go home.
The 2021 hit joins “Tennessee Whiskey” in Spotify’s Billions Club, giving Stapleton two songs with more than a billion streams each.
That puts him in some pretty good company.
Stapleton is now one of just five country artists with at least two songs to reach that milestone, joining Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs and Zach Bryan.
Wallen leads that group by far with four songs, while Combs and Bryan each have three. Swift and Stapleton have two each.
The song is now the 22nd country song to reach one billion streams on Spotify. Other members of that club include Wallen’s “Last Night” and “Whiskey Glasses,” Combs’ “Beautiful Crazy,” Bryan’s “Something in the Orange” and Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”
“You Should Probably Leave” was written by Stapleton, Ashley Gorley and Chris DuBois, and it won Best Country Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards.
Of course, “Tennessee Whiskey” remains Stapleton’s biggest streaming song, retaining the heavyweight championship belt. But with two songs now in the billion-stream club, he’s got plenty of company — and plenty of reasons to keep singing.
Somewhere, somebody is probably listening to “You Should Probably Leave” for the 500th time.
