A week ago not many people outside of Nashville had heard of Chris Stapleton. Today he's got the number one selling album on the Billboard Country chart.

Last Wednesday night, the world was introduced to Chris when he performed on the 49th annual CMA Awards with Justin Timberlake. "Tennessee Whiskey" and "Drink You Away" has instantly become one of the most memorable CMA moments ever and has gotten four and a half million YouTube views in under a week.

Chris's CD "Traveler" is also at the top of the Billboard top 200 albums chart which is the first time this has happened in four years according to Taste Of Country.
