With 120 Stations, the New Single Receives Most First Week Adds of McCreery’s Career and for Label Triple Tigers
McCreery Has Third Biggest Add Day of 2023
With six consecutive hits under his belt, Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery finds continued success at Country radio with his latest release, “Cab in a Solo.” Yesterday, the new single debuted as the Most Added Song of the Week. With 120 stations reporting, the track received the most first week adds of McCreery’s career as well as the largest first week showing for his label Triple Tigers and the third biggest add day of the year.
“Wow! I’ve been doing this now for twelve years, and this is the largest add week I’ve ever had and it’s the first time I’ve had the most added song on my first week,” said McCreery. “Thank you country radio for all your support both now and through the years, and thanks to the Triple Tigers promotion team. I’ll be drinking cab in a solo tonight!”
“It was only a matter of time before Scotty had a breakout add day like this,” said Kevin Herring, Triple Tigers SVP, Promotion. “He writes and sings amazing country songs, while busting his ass and being one of the best ambassadors for the country format there is. We are all so proud of him.”
The milestone launches the next chapter in the country crooner’s career who turns 30 this fall. Having spent almost half his life making country music, the North Carolina native continues to push himself creatively as well as personally. Stream the new track HERE.
Written by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, “Cab in a Solo” offers the first taste of new music from McCreery since the release of his 2021 album Same Truck.
Upon its release Friday, Taste of Country declared “McCreery’s country roots shine.” With a hint of neotraditional country and dash of 90’s country nostalgia, the heartbreak track finds the happily married father in unfamiliar territory – lamenting a failed relationship.
I’ve sent a dozen texts and I ain’t heard jack
I guess she’s busy playing hard to get back
So, I bought roses and her favorite wine
Thinking we’d be making up in no time
But I’m parked here out on her street
Looks like the joke is on me
Sitting here I can’t believe what I just saw
A couple shadows kissing on her bedroom wall
It’s looking like my plan didn’t work out at all
Our break turned into broke up
So now I’m finding out how heartbreak tastes
With a Silver Oak 1998
Drinking Cab in a Solo, solo in the cab of my truck
The new single follows the recent success of “It Matters to Her” the fastest climbing single of McCreery’s career. The singer/songwriter has earned five consecutive No. 1 hits in the last few years including RIAA Platinum-certified No. 1 “Damn Strait” and RIAA Gold-certified No. 1 “You Time,” all found on Same Truck: The Deluxe Album.
