Chris Stapleton Moves Into the Number-One Spot with “You Should Probably Leave”

by jwills | February 8, 2022

Congrats to Chris Stapleton as his song “You Should Probably Leave” is now number-one!

While this song was new to many when Chris included it among the 14-tracks on his 2020 album Starting Over, it turns out that Chris lived with it a little longer than that.

Stapleton shares the story behind “You Should Probably Leave,” “Well, this song is very old, for me. This is a song that I probably wrote, let’s say 10 years ago, somewhere in there. I don’t know the exact date of creation for this song, but I recorded an entire record that was previous to Traveller for Mercury that kind of canned and never came out and a version of this song is actually on that record. So, it’s kind of full circle for this song to reemerge. It’s getting a new life on this record.”
