Superstars Rascal Flatts (Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney) have once again proven why they are the most awarded Country group of the past decade, with the release of their ninth studio album "Rewind" debuting at number one on the Billboard Country Albums chart. The achievement garnered them the distinction of being one of only four acts during the SoundScan era to have eight consecutive studio albums debut in the top spot. Since their musical introduction in 2000, they have sold over 22.5 million albums and over 29 million digital downloads. Their chart-topping title track marks Rascal Flatts 15th number one hit single. Spearheaded by Jay DeMarcus, members of Rascal Flatts co-produced more than half of the album with acclaimed producers Howard Benson and Dann Huff contributing to several of the tracks. The Target deluxe includes "Compass", which is featured in the Sony Pictures film "Heaven Is For Real", based on the number one New York Times best-selling book of the same name. Now the most awarded Country group of the past decade, Rascal Flatts has earned over 40 trophies from the ACAs, ACMs, AMAs, CMAs, People's Choice Awards and more. In 2012, they reached a new career milestone with over seven million concert tickets sold and recently kicked off their 35-city REWIND Tour 2014, featuring special guest Sheryl Crow with opening act Gloriana.
The Band Perry has skyrocketed into the mainstream since releasing their platinum-certified, self-titled debut album in 2010, which scored the sibling trio a string of hits, including the quintuple-platinum "If I Die Young" (number one on Billboard's Country and AC charts), platinum "You Lie" and gold "All Your Life" (number one Country). Fronted by Kimberly Perry and rounded out by her younger brothers Reid and Neil, the band has sold over 11.3 million tracks from their debut and gold-certified sophomore album, "Pioneer", which debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and number two All Genre. "Pioneer" alone has garnered more than 3.3 million single downloads. In addition to acclaim from top critics across the country, "Pioneer" has produced two consecutive number one Country smashes - the platinum "Better Dig Two" and gold "Done", which earned Reid and Neil their first chart-topper as songwriters. "Chainsaw", their thunderous new single, is already Top 15 and climbing on the country radio charts.
The Band Perry enjoyed sold-out headlining dates and recently finished their first global headline tour, the We Are Pioneers World Tour, in March.
