Scotty McCreery, along with Hootie & The Blowfish, top the charts this week with their hit single, “Bottle Rockets.” This serves as McCreery’s 7th No. 1 song, and his fastest chart topping single to date. For Hootie & The Blowfish, “Bottle Rockets” represents a milestone for the iconic band as it serves as their very first No. 1 single.
“Any time your song hits No. 1, it feels great. To be able to hit No.1 with a song featuring a band you have loved your whole life is beyond amazing!” Scotty said. “Thanks to Hootie & The Blowfish for joining me on this song, thanks to Triple Tigers Records and Triple 8 Management for all their hard work, thanks to country radio and the streaming services, and thanks to the fans who have supported me from day one.”
Hootie & The Blowfish’s Jim “Soni” Sonefeld went on to say, “we’re blessed that ‘Hold My Hand’ has lived a rather long life, and Scotty’s ‘Bottle Rockets’ has certainly given it a new one. Thrilled to be part of this special rebirth!”
“Bottle Rockets” was recently featured on our Songs of the Summer list which we featured on our podcast. Also, the music video for the hit single has just been released which was filmed just outside of Charleston, SC on the Isle of Palms.
The chart topping song can be found on McCreery’s latest EP, Scooter & Friends. Check it out on all music streaming platforms here.
Additionally, Scotty will be hitting the road this fall on a co-headlining tour with Dustin Lynch, aptly called “Two for the Road Tour”. Tickets are on sale now here.
