American Idol season 10 winner Scotty McCreery has had a busy couple of 

years. His debut album topped the Billboard 200 and went platinum, he 

performed at the Grand Ole Opry and released a Christmas album!

After singing the holiday classics, McCreery says he is now ready to send 

fans some new tunes, "We're getting ready for it, you know I was just 

talking to my manager we are getting the songs compiled in one spot so I

can keep listening to them and picking the ones I like" he says. 

At 19, Scotty is also concentrating on school! Especially when it comes to

his toughest subjects, "Math!! I would love to just learn about history

and english and all that stuff, but math who needs to know those 

chemistry formulas?  "Math or calculus that ain't me" laughs the country 

singer.

Scotty plans to keep an eye on Idol and says that maybe 

his next album will come in handy for that! "It would be cool if 

somebody covered a song of mine. That's one thing I haven't gotten yet 

is a big hit song.  I've won awards and I've got platinum gold records 

but I haven't had a hit song yet, so that's what we're looking for for 

this sophomore album."

Look out for more music from Scotty on the radio in the months ahead. 

'Christmas with Scotty McCreery' was a top selling holiday album for the 2012 season and pushed the Season 10 winner into second place among "Idol" alum holiday album sales.

 

 

 

Although the total number of "American Idol" holiday (read: Christmas music) albums still hover around a dozen after 11 seasons of graduating a host of established and independent artists (and still no collection from the Big Three: Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Daughtry -- Chris or the band), the show has managed to see a few of the finalists do pretty well on the seasonal charts. This past 2012 holiday season saw three "Idol" finalists add new offerings to the growing pile. Foremost among them, Scotty Mcreery's sophomore album, a full set of holiday songs that topped the Billboard Holiday Albums chart and peaked at No. 2 on the Country Albums chart and No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

And in mid-December, Christmas with Scotty McCreery overtook the number two best-selling holiday album in "Idol" history. Selling 47,000 copies and holding strong in the Top 20, the album passed Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta's Christmas from the Heart, a 2009 collection that established itself in the No. 2 slot quickly and maintained the position for three years.

Scotty and the entire SM team would like to wish you and your family a Very Happy New Year! 

Scotty McCreery shares in-studio footage and old family video highlights in his new ‘Christmas Comin’ Round Again’ video. The just-released clip is of one of two new songs from his ‘Christmas With Scotty McCreery‘ album, which dropped in October. 

The singer says his manager, Todd Cassetty, collected and assembled the footage for the song. In addition to scenes from the recording, one is treated to McCreery family holiday memories in Polaroid frames that scroll up and down throughout. There’s a photo of McCreery on Grandpa’s lap. There’s the Christmas of 1996 when he and (we assume) his sister watch a train make laps around the Christmas tree. A year later, he’s shaking with excitement as he eyes a new bike.

Other videos embedded in this music video show a young McCreery standing over a keyboard, sitting behind a guitar and standing on risers with his choir. If you appreciate his boyish face now, just wait until you see images of an elementary school-aged Scotty.

The studio footage shows how the Season 10 ‘American Idol’ winner decorated the studio to capture some yuletide cheer, despite recording the 11 songs on ‘Christmas With Scotty McCreery’ long before the leaves had changed color and the nights began to get longer. ‘Christmas Comin’ Round Again’ was written by Ashley Gorley and Hillary Lindsey.

Scotty McCreery is already in the holiday spirit thanks to a recently released Christmas album and yesterday he gathered friends Gloriana, Jana Kramer and Brett Eldredge to tape Christmas With Scotty McCreery & Friends, a holiday special airing on the dates below:

Scotty isn’t the only one already in the spirit — so is his mom. Listen to Scotty reveal what his mom did in mid-October!

During his special, Scotty performed “Christmas In Heaven,” an original song from his holiday disc, “Let it Snow” and “Santa Claus Is Back In Town;” Gloriana performed “O Holy Night,” and “Silent Night;” Jana performed “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “Winter Wonderland;” and Brett performed “Mary Did You Know” and “Jingle Bell Rock.”
