Chart Breakers

Auditions begin in Nashville, TN, and Marrietta, GA. Those selected board the Chart Breakers Tour Bus and start on the songwriting adventure of a lifetime.

The Chart Breakers Tour Bus continues to Pensacola, FL, and Statesboro, GA. New songwriters join the bus, while others are left behind.

8 Semi-finalists are selected to advance to the next round of the competition. When they arrive in Blue Ridge, GA to the Songwriter Cabin, they are met with an unexpected surprise.

After a hard night of partying, the group receives a rude awakening and jumps into the first competition of the semi-finals. The 3 "redeemed" songwriters select teams to see who can write the best pop-country song. Only two will stay.

It's every singer-songwriter for themselves, as they compete solo to write an anthem that celebrates "country roots". After a paintball match that raises their competitive spirits, the songwriters compose songs that leave the judges with a tough decision

The eight remaining singer-songwriters must put their fate in their partner's hands as they team up to write love songs without using the word "love". The 4 teams work against the clock, with the co-writers of the last-place song going home.

One step closer to the finals, the group starts to feel the strain. Working in pairs, the final six singer-songwriters must turn a chorus written by the judges into a completed song. A surprise visit from their families bolsters spirits.

The four remaining singer-songwriters go head to head with only three spots in the finals available. They must meet a stranger on the street and turn their life into a song that will determine who will move on to the last step of the competition.

In a live-performance finale filmed in Nashville, $100k and a publishing deal are on the line. The three remaining songwriters are joined by a few surprise guests before presenting their best songs.
