The award is given to an artist who has commercially released material that he has written, and to someone who has impacted country music over the past decade.
According to the ACM, the factors to be considered for the honor include success at radio, commercial media, sales and streaming, artistic merit and ACM Award recognition. In 2015, Stapleton was nominated for seven ACM Awards, taking home six trophies during the 51st ACM Awards. In 2017, he received three ACM Awards, including album of the year.

The ACM artist-songwriter of the decade award marks a total of 10 ACM Awards for Stapleton. The singer-songwriter’s decade award follows Miranda Lambert being recognized for ACM song of the decade with “The House That Built Me” and Rhett Akins being named ACM songwriter of the decade.
