all-genre Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. His new single “Bottle Rockets” features the
iconic Hootie and the Blowfish. The 31-year-old has sold more than 4 million albums

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

2018 for "Five More Minutes," in 2019 for "This is It," in 2021 for "In Between," in 2022
for "You Time," and in 2024 for “It Matters to Her”). He was awarded Pandora Billionaire
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. McCreery was inducted into the North Carolina

Josh Turner and Randy Travis, after being invited by Garth Brooks. The
