Scotty McCreery Is #1 At Country Radio With 'Damn Strait'

His Fifth #1

Congratulations to TRIPLE TIGERS RECORDS' SCOTTY McCREERY and his team for landing the #1 single on the MEDIABASE Country singles chart this week with "Damn Strait," which ascends to the top in its 38th week on the chart. It is the singer's fifth consecutive #1, and follows "You Time," which topped the chart last SEPTEMBER.

An homage, of sorts, to Country superstar GEORGE STRAIT, "Damn Strait" impacted Country radio last OCTOBER. Written by TRENT TOMLINSON and JIM COLLINS, the breakup song from McCREERY's fifth studio album, "Same Truck," cleverly weaves references to several STRAIT hits into its lyrics.

“When we heard SCOTTY sing this song, we thought we had something really special,” said TRIPLE TIGERS SVP/Promotion KEVIN HERRING. “After playing it for a handful of radio programmers, we were sure of it. What a fun ride.”

Added McCREERY, “This song is such a great tribute to one of my musical heroes, GEORGE STRAIT, while also using his song titles in a clever way to tell such a heartbreaking story. I’ve loved it from the moment I first heard it. It is one of my favorite songs that I’ve recorded, and the fans love it in concert as well. You can feel the anticipation in the air as they get ready to sing along on the chorus.”
