Big Country Stars Who Have Never Won An ACM Award

I am no stranger to losing.  Between my midday show and being a part of the morning show, I have been nominated and lost an ACM award 6 times.  That feels like a lot but not as many as some country stars who have never won one of those silver bad boys.  It is a wonderful feeling to finally win but honestly it feels even better to get a regular paycheck, work with my best friends and have a radio family like you and I mean that.

It is not for lack of talent or hard work that these artists have not won; they  are amazing!  Here are a couple of artists who have been nominated many times with no luck.

Big and Rich have been nominated 17 times and have never won an award!  Chris Young has been nominated 11 times with no ACM award to show for it!  I have a feeling he will be nominated in the "vocal event" category next year for "Famous Friends" with Kane Brown.

The ACM awards are this Sunday night on CBS
