It’s been three years since 

Scotty McCreery

 first rose to fame on American Idol and during his run, he carved out a niche as the dashing, young ingénue with a booming voice and charm for days. Over the weekend, the singer vaulted over the 

, and rightfully so.

“Just passed 2 million likes on Facebook!  Sooo cool!  Thanks for being so awesome, love yall,” McCreery 

shared

 on Twitter on Sunday (April 27).  He 

followed

 that on Monday morning with even more excitement: “Still so pumped we hit 2 MILLION on Facebook!  Are you one of them?  Check it out.”

This social media achievement follows on the heels of his first Top 10 radio hit with “See You Tonight,” lifted from his sophomore disc, of the same name.  Previously, he is known for such hits as “I Love You This Big,” “The Trouble With Girls” and “Water Tower Town,” three cuts from his platinum-selling “Clear As Day” debut (2011).  He later released his first-ever Christmas-themed record late 2012, called “Christmas With Scotty McCreery.”  The set included covers of such classics as “First Noel,” “Winter Wonderland” and “O Holy Night.”

As summer looms ever nearer, the 20-year-old has released the breezy “Feelin’ It” as the follow-up single, certainly to become a chart-topping smash soon enough.

McCreery is currently out on the road on his See You Tonight Tour.  For more information and to purchase tickets, check out his
