<h3>Scotty McCreery&#8217;s Debut Single Succeeds On Charts.</h3>
<p>Hot on the heels of his <em>American Idol</em> win last week, <strong><a title="Scotty McCreery" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSScottyMcCreery/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fscotty-mccreery-tickets%2F">Scotty McCreery</a></strong> got some good news about his debut single. The song, &#8220;<strong><em>I Love You This Big</em></strong>&#8220;, was originally debuted on <em>Idol</em> before his win, and it hit the radio on May 24th. So far it is No. 32 on Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Hot Country Songs chart which is the highest debut for a new artist’s first single since the chart began using BDS data the week of Jan. 20, 1990. </p>
<blockquote><p>“I am humbled and shocked by this news. I can’t tell you what it means to me to be on the same charts as my musical heroes. I want to thank my fans and especially country radio for their support.&#8221; -<a title="Scotty McCreery" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSScottyMcCreery/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fscotty-mccreery-tickets%2F">Scotty McCreery</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Additionally, the single hit No. 1 on iTunes, and also reached No. 3 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart with 171,404 units sold. Also doing quite well is a compilation album featuring 14 of his performances from <em>America Idol</em>, entitled <strong><em>American Idol Season 10: <a title="Scotty McCreery" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSScottyMcCreery/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fscotty-mccreery-tickets%2F">Scotty McCreery</a></em></strong> which reached No. 12 on the Billboard Top 200 all-genre albums chart and No. 3 on the country albums chart with 23,196 units sold. It is clear that Scotty has a large and devoted fan base! </p>
<p>Scotty will be appearing alongside <strong><a title="Lauren Alaina" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/lauren-alaina-concert-tour-tickets/">Lauren Alaina</a></strong> at the <strong>CMT Music Awards</strong> on June 8th, and both will have multiple appearances through <strong>CMA Music Festival</strong>.</p>
<p>Following up next week&#8217;s festivities, fans can look forward to Scotty&#8217;s forthcoming album which he will start working on in Nashville soon. </p>
<p>So, since the powers that be seem to be keeping the two together for most events, I wonder when we will hear more about Lauren&#8217;s impending album? </p>
