SCOTTY MCCREERY SCORES HISTORIC NO.1 ALBUM

Scotty McCreery

'Idol' champion Scotty McCreery became only the third winner of the series to have his debut album land in the top slot on the Billboard 200, where he follows in the foot-steps of the first two winners Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard.

Additionally, McCreery is the first country artist to debut at the penthouse of the U.S. album chart with his first studio album and at 17 (he turns 18 on Sunday), he is also the youngest male artist to go straight to the top spot on their first try.

Previously, Omarion achieved this feat at the age of 20 with his solo album 'O'.

Still, with 'Clear As Day' selling just 196,000 copies, he clocks only the seventh biggest debut sales week among 'Idol' victors, since Ruben (416,000), Carrie (314,000), Taylor (298,000), Kelly (297,000), David (279,000) and Fantasia (239,000) all sold more copies (Mr. McCreery simply obtained the top position).
