Scotty McCreery had a lot to celebrate in the Big Apple Monday night (March 19) when he performed at the Gramercy Theatre in celebration of the release of his new album Seasons Change. Backstage at his show the Triple Tigers recording artist received a plaque commemorating the RIAA Gold certification of his recent No. 1 hit, “Five More Minutes.”

Penned by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Monty Criswell, the song topped both the Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck Country Airplay charts, and was McCreery’s first ever No. 1 song.
