Scotty McCreery has scored his seventh No. 1 hit this week with “Bottle Rockets,” his collaboration with Hootie & The Blowfish. The tune sits at the top spot on both the Billboard and Mediabase Country Airplay Charts. Since release, the song has averaged six million weekly streams.

“Any time your song hits No. 1, it feels great,” says McCreery. “To be able to hit No.1 with a song featuring a band you have loved your whole life is beyond amazing! Thanks to Hootie & The Blowfish for joining me on this song, thanks to Triple Tigers Records and Triple 8 Management for all their hard work, thanks to country radio and the streaming services, and thanks to the fans who have supported me from day one.”

The song was penned by McCreery, Brent Anderson, Derek George, Jeremy Bussey, Monty Criswell, Frank Rogers, Bobby Hamrick, Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber and Jim Sonefeld, with production by Rogers.

“We’re blessed that ‘Hold My Hand’ has lived a rather long life, and Scotty’s ‘Bottle Rockets’ has certainly given it a new one,” shares Sonefeld. “Thrilled to be part of this special rebirth!”

“All we had to do was light the fuse! Country radio took ‘Bottle Rockets’ and permanently imprinted it on the summer of 2025,” adds Kevin Herring, Co-President, Triple Tigers Records.
