One of the best “Songs of the Summer” this year was Scotty McCreery’s song featuring Hootie & The Blowfish, “Bottle Rockets.” It’s not just a personal favorite and here’s proof...

Clearly it’s like by many others and got the recognition it deserved the other night at the Grand Ole Opry when Scotty found out his song had gone gold!

Watch below as Scotty receives his award on stage at the Grand Ole Opry.

Where can you see Scotty next? He’ll be on our stage at K92.3 “Jingle Jam” on 12/7 at Apopka Amphitheater with Lauren Alaina, Ashley Cooke, Kameron Marlowe and more! Check out the full line-up and ticket info here.
