"American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery had a good first week on the Hot 100 Billboards music chart and music downloads, with the release of his single "I Love You This Big" hitting the No. 11 spot. The single was also the third most popular digitally downloaded song this week, racking up 171,000 downloads.

Despite some skepticism about his country radio reception, the single also broke Country chart records by debuting at No. 32, which is the highest ranking ever for a new artist's first single. Scotty's single also topped the iTunes singles chart, with his "Idol" compilation album currently holding the No. 10 spot on iTunes as well. "Idol" runner-up Lauren Alaina's single "Like My Mother Does" debuted at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and scored 121,000 downloads which pushed it to No. 11 on the Digital Songs chart.
