Chris Stapleton Wins Big At 2018 Billboard Music Awards

The 2018 Billboard Music Awards haven't even started, and Chris Stapleton has already had a big night. Chris took home awards in three different categories, Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist, and Top Country Album.

He was also nominated for Top Billboard 200 Artist, but lost out to Drake. There is still a chance for him to bring home a fourth award, with his nomination for Top Selling Album with From A Room: Volume 1.

Chris released From A Room: Volume 1 in May of last year. The album takes its name from Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, where it was recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb.

That whole room is a sweet spot. The thing to know about that room is that room sounds like that room. I’m also a fan of studios that have a sound. Over time, there have been places that have sounds, you know, Capitol out in L.A. or Muscle Shoals. You can point to places that have sounds – Stax, Motown – these places have sounds, not just by the guys playing ‘em, but the actual sound of the room. The room’s become part of the band. Here in town, the place that has the most of that kind of mojo to me is that room, so that’s what I like about it.

The 2018 Billboard Music Awards will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and air live at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on NBC.
