“60 Minutes” interviewed Chris Stapleton last night. He discussed when a songwriter knows a song is a hit. “I don’t think I ever know (if I wrote a song well),” he says. “The win is finishing the song.” He adds, “There are a lot of songwriters that claim, ‘Yeah, I knew the instant we wrote this that it was a six-week No. 1, and I was going to get a big, giant check in the mail.’… I don’t think anybody knows that.”
