Scotty McCreery

with Andrew Somerville

Scotty McCreery has been a household name for nearly half his life, ever since making history  in 2011 as both the first country artist and the youngest male artist of any genre to debut his first  studio album, the Platinum-certified Clear as Day, at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200  Albums chart. The 30-year-old has sold more than 4 million albums and achieved 5 consecutive  No.1 hits: the RIAA Platinum-certified “Damn Strait,” the RIAA Gold  certified “You Time,” the  RIAA Gold certified “In Between,” the RIAA Platinum certified “This is It,” and the RIAA  Triple Platinum certified ‘Five More Minutes.” His current single “Cab in a Solo,” which  McCreery wrote with Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson, is from a forthcoming album due out in  2024. 

The North Carolina native has earned one Triple Platinum, five Platinum and four Gold  singles; one Platinum and two Gold albums; won the 10th season of “American Idol” in 2011 at  age 17; was named the ACM New Artist of the Year in 2011; won the CMT Music Award for  Breakthrough Video of the Year (“The Trouble with Girls”) in 2012; and BMI Awards for  writing One of the Top 50 Country Songs of the Year five times (in 2015 for “See You Tonight,” in 2018 for “Five More Minutes,” in 2019 for “This is It,” in 2021 for “In Between,” and in 2022  for “You Time”).  He was awarded Pandora  millionaire status in 2021 in recognition of his music achieving more than one billion streams on Pandora. His song “Five More Minutes” inspired two popular holiday movies which aired on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network: “Five  More Minutes” in 2021 and “Five More Minutes: Moments Like These” in 2022. He released his  first book Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream in 2016. His most recent album  is Same Truck: The Deluxe Album. This fall McCreery was inducted into the North Carolina  Music Hall of Fame and was most recently invited to become a  member of the Grand Ole Opry  by Garth Brooks.
