It's no surprise that Keith Urban's busy career attributed to his breakup with Niki Taylor, with his country music career reaching new heights since the split. The 53-year-old has had 40 Top 10 hits and 16 No. 1 hits so far, according to Billboard. In addition, he has won numerous Academy of Country Music Awards and four Grammy Awards (via Recording Academy). He also served as a judge on "American Idol" during seasons 12 through 15 (as per Screen Rant).

And even in the days when he struggled, which included battling a drug and alcohol addiction, as well as feelings of insecurity, Urban never considered giving up on his career.

"I didn't have any choice. I didn't really have a backup plan," Urban told The Boot. "Right as it felt like, 'Man, I'm hitting my head against a brick wall, nothing's happening,' there'd be a little break of some sort. Even if it was tiny, it was like, 'Okay, there's a little momentum forward. That always kept me going. I always felt like what I was trying to do was just around the corner."
