FILE - In this Nov. 4, 2015 file photo, Chris Stapleton, winner of the awards for new artist of the year, album of the year for "Traveller," and male vocalist of the year, participates in an interview in the press room at the 49th annual CMA Awards at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. Stapleton's album, which became at white-hot success after he won three honors and performed alongside Justin Timberlake at the CMAs, is also up for Grammy album of the year - marking a return to top prize for country music after some time. His competition is tough in the top category with Taylor Swift’s “1989,” Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly,” Alabama Shakes’ "Sound & Color" and the Weeknd’s “Beauty Behind the Madness,” which was the most streamed album on Spotify this year.
