On an absolutely incredible run. Chris Stapleton became a household name back in 2015 with his performance of "Tennessee Whiskey" alongside Justin Timberlake at the CMA Awards. Since then, he's set the record for the most wins for Male Vocalist of the Year, won Entertainer of the Year at the ACM Awards, and has racked up an incredible 10 Grammy Awards. His debut album, Traveller, is STILL inside the top 20 on the Billboard Top Country Album chart, nearly a decade after it was released, and inside the top 30 on the iTunes album charts. And while those are nice, the chart came out today that I was REALLY interested in: The yearly TouchTunes chart. I'm a big TouchTunes guy myself. Nothing better than getting to a bar and seeing a TouchTunes on the wall, knowing that you're in control of the music for the entire bar. I'm also pretty quick to use the "Play Next" feature and pay more to get my song to the front of the line. God knows how much money I've spent on TouchTunes over the years, and I regret none of it. But with thousands of TouchTunes across the country, it's always interesting to see what everybody else is queuing up on the jukebox. And in what shouldn't be a surprise, it turns out the answer is a lot of Chris Stapleton. Stapleton was the fourth most played male artist of the year on TouchTunes, in a list that was topped by Morgan Wallen. And while Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" was the most played new country song of the year, of the "catalog" songs, nobody topped Chris Stapleton and his song "Tennessee Whiskey." (And before you come at me in the comments, yes, I know that the song was originally recorded by David Allan Coe and George Jones. We're talking about the Chris Stapleton version here though). It's not really a surprise that the song is up there with bar classics like "Friends In Low Places" (which was at #5 on the list this year) at this point. If you've visited Nashville you know just how popular "Tennessee Whiskey" is up and down Broadway, and there's no doubt bartenders across the country are probably sick of hearing it by now based on just how popular it is. But hey, the night's starting to wind down, the lights are getting ready to come on the guys are trying to find a lady to leave with, so you throw on some of Chris Stapleton's silky smooth vocals to help you seal the deal, right? The rest of the top 5 country songs include "I Love This Bar" by Toby Keith at #2, which no doubt shot up the list after the Big Dog Daddy's passing back in February. What better way to pay tribute to a legend than with one of the greatest bar songs of all time? And rounding out the top 5 are "Fast Car" by Luke Combs and "Son Of a Sinner" by Jelly Roll, both coming in ahead of the Garth Brooks classic "Friends in Low Places." Honestly, I'm a little surprised that there's no Morgan Wallen or Zach Bryan on the list. I thought for sure that "Last Night" or "Something In the Orange" would be on there, but apparently people are sticking to the classics and just throwing on "Tennessee Whiskey." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zAThXFOy2c
