Her debut album, 1996's Ten Thousand Angels, was released on BNA Records and was certified 2× Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, while 1997's If I Don't Stay the Night was certified gold. 1999's I'm Not So Tough, her final album for BNA, was commercially unsuccessful, and she was dropped from the label. A self-titled fourth album followed in 2002 on Capitol Records.
Overall, McCready's four studio albums have accounted for twelve singles on the Billboard country singles charts. This figure includes the Number One hit "Guys Do It All the Time", as well as the Top Ten hits "Ten Thousand Angels" and "A Girl's Gotta Do (What a Girl's Gotta Do)." Although she has not charted a single since 2002, McCready has received significant media coverage regarding personal events in her life.

Career
Born Malinda Gayle McCready in Fort Myers, Florida, McCready began singing in church at age 3, graduated from high school at the age of 16 with the intention of beginning her music career early.1
When she was 18, she moved to Nashville, where she was signed by BNA Records. Her debut album, Ten Thousand Angels, was released in 1996 and sold two million copies. The album produced four chart singles on the country charts: the title track at #6, followed by her only Number One hit, "Guys Do It All the Time." This song, in turn, was succeeded by "Maybe He'll Notice Her Now," a duet with Richie McDonald, then the lead vocalist of Lonestar. The fourth and final single, "A Girl's Gotta Do (What a Girl's Gotta Do)," peaked at #4.2
The next year, McCready released the album If I Don't Stay the Night. The album spawned three singles, "What If I Do", "The Other Side of This Kiss," and "You'll Never Know." The album sold 825,000 copies.3
In 1999, McCready released I'm Not So Tough. The first single, "All I Want is Everything," failed to break the top 50. The album was a commercial failure, selling 144,000 copies. Soon after, McCready's record company dropped her. McCready was then signed by Capitol Records. She released a self-titled album with Capitol in 2002 to disappointing sales, and was dropped by Capitol later that year.3
In May 2008, McCready released a song, "I'm Still Here," via her official website. She also announced that she is working on a documentary, a new album and a reality show. She is on Celebrity Rehab 34
Personal life
In 1997, McCready became engaged to actor Dean Cain.5 The couple broke up the following year.6
McCready also dated former NHL hockey player Drake Berehowsky.7
In May 2005, McCready's ex-boyfriend, Billy McKnight, was arrested and charged with attempted murder after beating and choking McCready.38 The following July, McCready was found unconscious in a hotel lobby in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida after attempting suicide. She was hospitalized for a drug overdose after washing down a large amount of undisclosed drugs with alcohol.9 That September, McCready, who was then pregnant with McKnight's child, attempted suicide for a second time by overdosing on antidepressants.10
On March 25, 2006, McCready gave birth to a son, Zander Ryan McCready.11
On December 17, 2008, paramedics were called to McCready's home in Nashville after an apparent suicide attempt; they transported her to a hospital after finding wounds on her wrists. 12
May 9, 2009: Mindy has been seen again in the company of Billy McKnight and they have released a single together on Billy's Album.
In July, 2009, McCready left Vanderbilt Hospital after suffering a nervous breakdown. She then entered La Hacienda Treatment Center where she remained until mid-August.
McCready is a cast member on the third season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew13. The season premiered January 07, 2010.
Roger Clemens affair
In April 2008, the New York Daily News reported on a possible long-term relationship between McCready and baseball star Roger Clemens that began when she was 15 years old.14
Clemens' attorney Rusty Hardin denied the affair and also stated that Clemens would be bringing a defamation suit regarding this false allegation. Clemens' attorney admitted that a relationship existed, but described McCready as a "close family friend." He also stated that McCready had traveled on Clemens' personal jet and that Clemens' wife was aware of the relationship.14 Clemens issued a statement saying only that "I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry."15 However, McCready confirmed the relationship as being sexual in nature.16
On November 17, 2008, McCready spoke in more detail to Inside Edition about her affair with Clemens. She stated that their relationship lasted for more than a decade, and that it ended when Clemens refused to leave his wife to marry McCready. However, she denied that she was 15 years old when it began, saying that they met when she was 16 and the affair only became sexual "several years later". 17
Legal troubles
In August 2004, McCready was arrested in Tennessee for using a fake prescription to buy the painkiller OxyContin. Although she initially denied the charge, she pleaded guilty and was fined $4,000, sentenced to three years probation, and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.1819
In May 2005, she was stopped by Nashville police for speeding and then arrested and charged with driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.20 A jury later found her not guilty on the charges of DUI, but guilty of driving with a suspended license.21 That July, she was charged in Arizona with identity theft, unlawful use of transportation, unlawful imprisonment, and hindering prosecution.22
An arrest warrant was issued for McCready the following month for violation of her probation when she left Tennessee without permission from her probation officer. McCready was also charged with not reporting to her probation officer during the month of July.23 She was finally arrested in Florida and returned to Tennessee. McCready faced a hearing later that year on charges of violating her probation on a drug charge by failing to check in with her probation officer and leaving the state without permission to go to Florida.24
In July 2007, McCready was arrested in Ft. Myers, Florida. She was charged with battery and resisting arrest for an apparent scuffle with her mother.25 The following week, she was taken into custody at the Nashville International Airport for violating probation.26 In September, McCready was sentenced to a year in jail for violating probation. In addition to the jail time, she was ordered to serve two more years of probation and perform 200 additional hours of community service. She was released from jail in December.27
In June 2008, McCready was arrested in Tennessee for violating the terms of her probation set in September 2007.28 Sentenced to 60 days in jail, McCready turned herself in on September 30, 2008.29 After serving half of her sentence, she was released early for good behavior on October 31, 2008.30
