"Nobody to Blame" is a song by American country music artist Chris Stapleton. The song was released in November 2015 as the singer's third single overall. Stapleton co-wrote the song with Barry Bales and Ronnie Bowman. It became Stapleton's first top 10 single on the US Country Airplay chart.[2] "Nobody to Blame" won Song of the Year at the ACM Awards.[3]

Music

The song is a mid-tempo composition about a man looking back on the events following a break-up, realizing that he has no one to blame for the events but himself.

Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a favorable review, saying that it "is a 200-proof country song that'd fit neatly into any generation's best of catalog. The second single from Traveller is full of steel guitar, fiddle and pain. It rambles along like the best from Waylon while providing a de facto education to the 21st century boy. Stapleton doesn't deviate from what he does best: simple, honest story songs that lean heavy on his once-in-a-lifetime voice."[4]

Chart performance

The song first entered the Country Airplay chart at No. 46 and the Hot Country Songs chart at No. 50 for chart dated November 21, 2015. The song has sold 337,000 copies in the US as of May 2016.[5] The song peaked at No. 10 on the Country Airplay chart, making it Stapleton's first single to reach the top 10.
