Scotty McCreery’s first #1 song, “Five More Minutes” has sold Double Platinum. Over the weekend, he was presented with the plaque while at the Grand Ole Opry.
In a press release, Scotty expressed his gratitude for the Opry and said the success of the song followed his 2016 appearance. He said, “I wasn’t on a record label at the time, but I believed in this song and wanted to share it. A few weeks later, I saw that I was trending on social media and wondered ‘what did I do?’ I learned quickly that the Opry had released a video of that performance on their YouTube Channel and it was attracting thousands of viewers by the hour.”
The Opry’s Vice President and Executive Producer Dan Rogers made the presentation. On stage that night, Scotty dedicated his performance of the song to Charley Pride, who passed away earlier that day.
