by jwills | July 27, 2022

Congrats to Scotty McCreery as he’s spending his second week at number-one on the Billboard country airplay chart with “Damn Strait.”

Talking about the number-one hit, Scotty says, “This song is such a great tribute to one of my musical heroes, George Strait, while also using his song titles in a clever way to tell such a heartbreaking story. I’ve loved it from the moment I first heard it.”

As it climbed it’s way into the top spot, Scotty says he watched it also resonate with his fans at live shows, “It is one of my favorite songs that I’ve recorded, and the fans love it in concert as well. You can feel the anticipation in the air as they get ready to sing along on the chorus.”

“Damn Strait” is Scotty McCreery’s 5th number-one in a row, and now his second multi-week chart topper as “This Is It” also spent two weeks at number-one in February of 2019.
