The album is McCreery’s fifth to debut atop a Billboard chart

On the heels of a packed ACM week that included headlining night two of Country Kickoff at the Star in front of a packed crowd and presenting at the 59th awards ceremony, Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery debuts atop Billboard’s Current Country Album Chart with his fifth studio album Rise and Fall. In addition, the album ranks No. 6 on Billboard’s All-Genre Album Sales Chart. The news follows the new Grand Ole Opry member’s sixth No. 1 hit on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase Chart with lead single “Cab in a Solo,” and marks the fifth time one of his albums has debuted at No. 1 on a Billboard chart.

The second single from the album, “Fall of Summer,” will be going for ads at country radio beginning on May 28th.

Rise and Fall will feature 13 tracks that find him exploring not only heartbreak but rowdy nights, nostalgia, faith, newfound joy, fatherhood and enduring love, resulting in a project full of insightful storytelling. The album was produced by McCreery’s longtime production team of Frank Rogers, Derek Wells and Aaron Eshuis.

McCreery co-wrote 12 of the 13 songs on the album, which will be released digitally as well as on CD and vinyl. In addition, Amazon has released a limited edition forest green vinyl version.

“Lonely” is the sixth song released from the album, following lead single “Cab in a Solo” and tracks “Red Letter Blueprint,” “Slow Dance,” “Can’t Pass the Bar” and “Love Like This.”
