Scotty McCreery seems to have another hit on his hands. The American Idol alum‘s new single, “Cab In A Solo,” released on August 18, is the most-added at country radio, with 120 adds.
McCreery spoke out about the song’s success on social media.
“Country radio, thank y’all so much,” McCreery said. “I’ve been doing this now 12 years, and I have never even come close to this many adds on one of the first add days. So thank you all for the support. I’m so excited about ‘Cab In A Solo.’ Can’t wait to hear it on the radio. Can’t wait to get out there and play it on the road. See y’all out there, but again, thank y’all. Love you country radio.”

McCreery wrote “Cab In A Solo” with Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson, and is the first single from McCreery’s next album. The 29-year-old wrote “Cab In A Solo,” and a lot of other songs, while on a writing retreat with some of his favorite collaborators.
“Took some buddies up to the mountains of North Carolina to do nothing but write some country music,” McCreery said when the song was released. “I’m proud to say one of those songs turned out to be one of my favorites I’ve ever written.”
The father of one has already revealed his new set of tunes will be autobiographical, including songs about Gabi, his wife of five years, and his son, Avery, born last October.
“I think what I’ve found that works for me and what I like doing is pretty autobiographical stuff and writing about life,” McCreery said on Audacy’s Katie & Company. “So there will obviously be baby songs on this record, but there will be other stuff too.”
McCreery also says his next project will be very, very country, embracing the music he grew up listening to, and still loves today.
“It’s country,” McCreery said. “Our steel guitar player, Mike Johnson, was in the studio with us, and he’s like, ‘Man, I actually get to play country music this week!’ He was loving it, and I love singing that stuff, so hopefully folks are ready for a little dose of country music.”
A title or release date has yet to be announced. McCreery has several concerts on the calendar over the next few months. He will also be inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in October, and has been announced as one of the performers for this year’s Opry Country Christmas.
