A Career That Started Fast and Never Slowed Down

It’s kind of crazy to think McCreery has been doing this for nearly half his life. He broke out in 2011 and didn’t waste any time making history, becoming the first country artist—and youngest male artist—to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with his album Clear as Day.

Since then, he’s sold more than four million albums and stacked up seven #1 hits, including Bottle Rockets with Hootie & the Blowfish.

New Music and Major Milestones

There’s also new music on the way.

His upcoming album 15, out July 17, celebrates his first 15 years in the industry. It’ll feature a mix of fan favorites and new tracks, including his American Idol audition song, “Your Man” with Josh Turner.
