After opening for an Alabama concert, Scotty McCreery interrupted their set to present them with a plaque representing two Billion streams of their music.<\/p>\n
Founding members, Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry seemed surprised as Teddy said,<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thought a million plays was a very big deal but two billion plays of our songs puts it over the top. We appreciate Pandora and thanks for the award.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Scotty, a previous recipient of the Pandora Billionaire plaque, was honoured to make the presentation and said he\u2019s been a fan all of his life.<\/p>\n
The group has been making music for over 50 years.<\/p>\n
