Rascal Flatts to release greatest hits collection

After spending more than twenty-five weeks at the top of the radio charts and selling more than 17 million albums, country music’s favorite band, Rascal Flatts, will release its first ever greatest hits collection on October 28.

Greatest Hits Volume 1 will chronicle Rascal Flatts’s rise as the biggest selling country band of the decade and will highlight the band’s best songs that have made them the ACM, CMA, CMT and AMA reigning Group of the Year for several years running. It will offer up sixteen tracks, including thirteen of the vocal group’s smash hits like “What Hurts The Most,” “Life Is A Highway,” “I’m Movin’ On” and the six week #1 smash “Bless The Broken Road.”

The initial limited edition release will be presented in a special foil-embossed 2 CD package. This limited edition version will include three newly recorded Christmas songs as bonus tracks – the classic “White Christmas,” “Jingle Bell Rock” and an a capella version of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” The three holiday tracks will be available as part of Rascal Flatts’s Greatest Hits Volume 1 for a limited time and are the only Christmas songs currently available from the band.

Known for their dynamic performances, high-tech stage productions and in-concert interactive fan participation, Rascal Flatts’s back-to-back outings of “Still Feels Good Tour” and “Bob That Head Tour,” have spanned 12 calendar months, July 2007 to July 2008, and have played to nearly 1.2 million fans.

The combined tours have made 72 tour stops with forty-seven sellouts. Since their career launched in 2000, Rascal Flatts has sold over 17 million albums, scored 9 #1 singles and 17 top 10 hits and each of their five albums are multi-platinum sellers. They are the reigning AMA, CMT, ACM and CMA Vocal Group of The Year with two, six, five and five respective consecutive wins. They were honored as the 2008 Academy of Country Music/The Home Depot® Humanitarian Award recipients during the recent ACM Awards show in May. This honor, in part, due to their dedication to raising funds for the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, where in the past 3 years they have donated 2.2 million dollars, as well as their work on the American Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet board.
