Scotty McCreery scored his third consecutive No. 1 single as “In Between” reached the top of both the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Mediabase chart this week.

The singled summited the Billboard Country Airplay chart after 63 weeks. Only Travis Denning’s “After a Few” needed more weeks (65) to reach No. 1.

Penned by Scotty, Frank Rogers, Jessi Alexander and Jonathan Singleton, “In Between” follows Scotty’s previous No. 1 singles “Five More Minutes” and “This Is It.” All three songs are from Scotty’s 2018 album, Seasons Change.

“This one is extra sweet!” said Scotty via Instagram. “‘In Between’ has been one of my favorite songs since we wrote it in 2015. It was a grind with this song, and that’s what makes it so awesome for it to be on top of the country charts this week! To country radio, I can’t thank you enough for giving my music a chance. Thank you for supporting this album as much as you have. 3 in a row is crazyyy!!! Can’t wait to send new music your way! It really does take a village, and I’ve got the best village in the business! Triple Tigers, Triple 8 Management, WME, EBM, FBMM, my band and crew on the road, I’m extremely blessed to call you friends and work with each and every one of you. Week in and week out y’all crush it every single day! Let’s enjoy this now and then start working towards trying to do it again! Love y’all! I’m so fired up about this ‘yall! LETS GOOO!!!”
