9. Run Maggie Run

run maggie run chris stapleton

Run Maggie Run is a country song written by Chris Stapleton. The song is part of his debut solo album, "Traveller," which was released in 2015. "Traveller" is considered a breakthrough album for Stapleton, earning critical acclaim and commercial success.

The album also won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album in 2016.

In terms of chart performance, "Run Maggie Run" was not released as a single from the "Traveller" album, so it did not chart independently.

However, the album as a whole performed exceptionally well, reaching the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart and the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, solidifying Chris Stapleton's status as a rising star in the country music scene.

While "Run Maggie Run" may not be one of Chris Stapleton's most well-known songs, it has garnered attention from musicians and fans. Stapleton's unique blend of traditional country and soulful rock influences is evident in this song, making it a memorable track for those who appreciate his distinctive style.

As for covers, there aren't many widely known versions of this song by other artists. However, as Chris Stapleton's popularity has grown, it's possible that more artists may have considered covering "Run Maggie Run."
