Info zu 15

Multi-Platinum and chart-topping artist Scotty McCreery releases his new album 15 - a retrospective album featuring nine of his hit songs and four new recordings.

“Man, fifteen years goes by like a flash,” muses McCreery. “Some days it feels like yesterday when I did my initial ‘American Idol’ audition in Milwaukee, while other days it feels like it happened a hundred years ago. I’ve lived a lot of life, traveled millions of miles, and followed my dreams, all thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my family, my team, and all the fans who have supported me through these 15 years.”

The now 32-year-old husband and father of two sons has spent nearly half his life in the public eye. Music fans first met him as a 16-year-old high school junior when he auditioned for “American Idol” in front of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler by acapella singing the Josh Turner hit “Your Man.”

“I have been a major Josh Turner fan since ‘Long Black Train’ was released,” said McCreery. “Getting to know him has been something little Scotty would never have imagined and having the honor of recording ‘Your Man’ with him is a moment I’ll never get over. If I was him, I would have been a little irritated that this teenage kid kept singing my songs on TV....but Josh has been nothing but gracious and kind to me from day one, and he even inducted me into the Grand Ole Opry a few years ago. They say you should never meet your heroes but that certainly does not apply here. He’s become a mentor and valued friend.”

“I’m very honored to have been asked to sing on my song, ‘Your Man,’ on Scotty’s new project,” said Turner. “He came on the scene singing that song and has had a great career ever since. Of course, I take credit for all of his success! :-) Congrats to Scotty on 15 years! It’s no small feat.”

Coincidentally, Turner’s album Your Man which featured his original version of the title song is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

15 contains McCreery’s seven No.1 hits, including his most recent smash “Bottle Rockets” featuring Hootie & The Blowfish that was recently certified Platinum by the RIAA and was also his first No.1 hit in Canada. The vinyl and CD versions of 15 are the first time that “Bottle Rockets” has been made available on a physical product. The other No.1 hits include “Five More Minutes” (which inspired two Hallmark holiday movies), “This Is It,” “In Between,” “You Time,” “Damn Strait,” and “Cab in a Solo.” The album also features his wife Gabi’s favorite song “It Matters to Her,” which reached No. 2 on the charts.

The North Carolina native has captivated fans worldwide since he auditioned for “American Idol” as a 16-year-old grocery bagger. He won the competition and America’s hearts at age 17, and a few months later made history when he became the first country artist and youngest male artist of any genre to debut his first album (Clear as Day) at No.1 on the Billboard Top 200 all-genre album chart. Since then, he has been living out his dreams – including the major milestone of being invited by Garth Brooks to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. During the past fifteen years, the ACM and CMT Award winner has performed on such renowned stages as Carnegie Hall (New York), O2 Arena (London), Hollywood Bowl (Los Angeles), Ryman Auditorium (Nashville), Gruene Hall (New Braunfels, TX), and in all 50 U.S. states, as well as Canada, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, the Netherlands, the Philippines and the United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland), as well as a television broadcast in Australia.

The North Carolina native achieved new heights in the last few years by earning three back-to-back No. 1 hits from his most recent album Seasons Change, the RIAA Gold-certified project which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Album chart: the RIAA Double Platinum-certified “Five More Minutes,” the RIAA Platinum-certified “This Is It,” which stayed at the top of the charts for two weeks, and RIAA Gold-certified “In Between.” McCreery co-wrote all 11 songs on Seasons Change, which Rolling Stone named as one of the “40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2018.”

All four of his albums have debuted at No.1 on a Billboard Albums chart, with current combined sales surpassing 3 million copies. He’s earned one Double Platinum, four Platinum and two Gold singles; won the 10th season of “American Idol” in 2011; 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; American Country Awards for New Artist of the Year in 2011 and Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2013; BMI Awards for writing One of the Top 50 Country Songs of the Year three times (in 2015 for “See You Tonight,” in 2018 for “Five More Minutes,” and in 2019 for “This is It”); a Carolina Beach Music Award for National Dance/Shag Song of the Year (“Barefootin’”) in 2018; and the NSAI Nashville Songwriter Award for One of the Top Ten Songs I Wish I’d Written (“Five More Minutes”) in 2018. McCreery released his first book, Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream, in 2016; it was re-released in paperback in 2020.

McCreery launched his recording career by 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.
