BIG LOVE: In celebration of Valentine’s Day, a list of the top 50 love songs according to chart performance on the Hot 100 has been posted at www.billboard.com. To be eligible, a song had to have a form of the word “love” in the title. Using the same criterion, what is the No. 1 love song by an American Idol?
It’s a tricky (tricky, not “trick”) question because you want to start by searching through the repertoires ofKelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. But you won’t find the No. 1 love song there. You can look through the hits of Daughtry and you’ll have no luck. Here’s one more clue before the big reveal: the No. 1 love song according to chart performance on the Hot 100 is by an American Idol winner.
Give up? Alright, SPOILER ALERT, here’s the answer. The No. 1 love song by an Idol is “I Love You This Big” by Scotty McCreery. You won’t find a bigger song by an Idol with the word “love” in the title. In second place is the cover version of Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name” by season six runner-up Blake Lewis and in third place is “If This Isn’t Love” by season three’s seventh-place finalist Jennifer Hudson.
The portion of the article mentioning Scotty was posted. For the complete article:

McCreerians have been telling you for two years now.....SCOTTY - I LOVE YOU THIS BIG!!!! He sang it on Idol and we have been screaming it ever since. Wake up, pay attention!! (just said in jest..;)
