Clear as Day

by Scotty McCreery

Overview

While Scotty McCreery is learning about American history, the 17-year-old country singer is also busy making some of his own.

In May 2011, the Raleigh native won Season Ten of American Idol, the yougest male winner in the show's nine-year history. A record-breaking 122.4 million votes were cast for Scotty and runner-up Lauren Alaina.

A week later, he made country music history when his debut single, "I Love You This Big," earned the highest ranking in decades for a new artist's first single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

He is now releasing his debut album, Clear as Day, while performing with the American Idols Live tour. From the Label
