Release Notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rascal Flatts is an American country band founded in Columbus, Ohio. Since its

inception, Rascal Flatts has been composed of three members: Gary LeVox (lead

vocals), Jay DeMarcus (bass guitar, keyboards, vocals), and Joe Don Rooney (lead

guitar, vocals). DeMarcus and LeVox are also second cousins.



Rascal Flatts has released five studio albums and a greatest hits album, all on

Lyric Street Records. Their first two albums, 2000's Rascal Flatts and 2002's

Melt, have been certified 2× Multi-Platinum and 3× Multi-Platinum, respectively,

in the United States, while 2004's Feels Like Today and 2006's Me and My Gang

have received 5× Multi-Platinum and 4× Multi-Platinum certifications

respectively. 2007's Still Feels Good, their most recent album, is certified 2×

Multi-Platinum.



They have also released twenty-two singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs

charts, including nine Number Ones. A cover of Tom Cochrane's "Life Is a

Highway", from the soundtrack to the 2006 film Cars, also entered the country

music charts from unsolicited airplay. Their longest-lasting Number One is

"Bless the Broken Road" (late 2004-early 2005) at five weeks, while their

biggest crossover single is "What Hurts the Most", which topped both the country

and Adult Contemporary charts in 2006, and was a Top Ten pop hit.



In early 2000, the group made their debut with their single "Prayin' for

Daylight". This song, which reached #3 on the Billboard country charts. This was

the first of four consecutive Top Ten hits from their self-titled debut, which

was issued in early 2000 on Lyric Street. Following "Prayin' for Daylight" were

"This Everyday Love", "While You Loved Me" and "I'm Movin' On", which

respectively peaked at #9, #7, and #4 on the country charts. "I'm Movin' On" was

awarded Song of the Year by the Academy of Country Music in 2002.



Melt was the title of their second album, released in 2002. Unlike their

previous album, Rascal Flatts co-produced Melt. Its first single, "These Days",

also became their first Number One hit. This song was followed by "Love You Out

Loud" at #3, "I Melt" at #2, and "Mayberry", their second Number One. "I Melt"

featured a controversial music video which featured partial nudity, and as a

result, the video was banned from the Great American Country network.



Rascal Flatts' third album was entitled Feels Like Today, and it was released in

late 2004. Although its title track quickly fell from a peak position of #9, its

follow-up, "Bless the Broken Road", became their biggest Number One, with a

five-week run at the top of the country charts. This song had previously been

recorded by Marcus Hummon (who co-wrote it with Jeff Hanna of the Nitty Gritty

Dirt Band), and had previously been a #42 single in 1998 for Melodie Crittenden.

"Bless the Broken Road" also brought the group to the Adult Contemporary charts

for the first time, peaking at #20 there.



Following "Bless the Broken Road" was their fourth Number One hit, "Fast Cars

and Freedom". While this song was climbing the charts, a hidden track from Feels

Like Today, entitled "Skin", also received enough airplay to chart in the Top

40. Due to the success of "Skin" on the charts, it was then officially added to

the album's track listing on later presses, and was shipped to radio under the

title "Skin (Sarabeth)". This song went on to peak at #2 in late 2005, and was

the final single from the album.
