You know, it's one thing in the music business to have singles or albums go platinum (marking one million in sales). It's quite another thing to have three songs or albums go platinum simultaneously.
That's the rarified air Scotty McCreery is breathing nowadays.
The country music star and former "American Idol" winner recently picked up three RIAA Platinum certifications for his hit songs "I Love You This Big," "The Trouble with Girls" and "See You Tonight."
"I Love You This Big" and "The Trouble With Girls" off McCreery's No. 1 debuting first studio album "Clear As Day," while "See You Tonight" the Top 10 lead single on the singer-songwriter's second consecutive No. 1 album, "See You Tonight."
"I Love You This Big" was McCreery's country radio debut and it became a Top 15 hit. The song was written by Ronnie Jackson, Brett James, Ester Dean and Jay Smith.
Written by McCreery, Ashley Gorley and Zach Crowell, "See You Tonight" marks the first Platinum-selling single for McCreery as a writer in addition to being the artist. That makes the song and the award particularly special.
"The Trouble with Girls" was written by Phillip White and Chris Tompkins. The song remains a huge crowd favorite on McCreery tour dates.
McCreery's latest single, "Feelin' It," is currently climbing country radio's Top 15.
Since his 2011 debut, McCreery has sold more than 2 million albums. He will continue to cross the country headlining his See You Tonight Tour through the end of the year.
