McCreery recently scored his second consecutive Top 10 hit, "Feelin' It," from his sophomore album "See You Tonight," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. That album's title song, a top 10 hit co-written by the singer, was one of three singles from the "American Idol" champion that were recently certified platinum by the RIAA in the same week (the other two being "The Trouble with Girls" and "I Love You This Big" from his platinum-certified first album "Clear As Day."
