RASCAL FLATTS EARN #1 SPOT AT COUNTRY RADIO AND ON THE BILLBOARD COUNTRY ALBUMS CHART WITH REWIND

Superstars Rascal Flatts have once again proved why they are the most-awarded Country vocal group of the past decade as their ninth album REWIND sits atop the Billboard Country Albums chart while the title track marks their 15th #1 hit single after making the ascend on the Mediabase Country Radio chart.

 

REWIND, released on May 16 via Big Machine Records, is Flatts’ eighth consecutive studio album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. Jay DeMarcus with Rascal Flatts, Howard Benson and Dann Huff all contributed producing tracks on the project.

 

After appearing on “The Voice” and “NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams” last week, Flatts will swing by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” tomorrow night (May 23). They will perform on the “Toyota Concert Series on TODAY” next Friday (May 30).

 

In addition to radio and sales success, Flatts kicked off the REWIND Tour 2014 over the weekend (May 16) at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in St. Louis. The 35-city tour, presented by Live Nation, features special guest Sheryl Crow and opening act Gloriana. According to the St. Louis Dispatch“Rascal Flatts has started summer tours in St. Louis before, but maybe no opening night was better than the Friday night fun-fest the band staged.”

 

Commemorating Flatts’ 11th headline tour, REWIND Tour 2014 will continue to rock audiences throughout the summer with a final show at Detroit’s Comerica Park on September 21. Additional information is available at www.RascalFlatts.com.

Rascal Flatts to Launch New Album REWIND with Massive Media Appearances and Promotions

Country music supergroup Rascal Flatts will release their ninth studio album REWIND on Big Machine Records tomorrow (5/13) with several national TV and radio performances in addition to exclusive promotional events.

 

The album comes just as the lead single “Rewind” is nearing the top of the Country Radio charts.

 

As the best-selling Country group of the past decade, Flatts have debuted their last seven studio albums at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart, a rare feat only achieved by four other artists. They’ve sold more than 22.5 million albums, scored 14 No. 1 singles, sold over 28 million digital downloads and earned more than 40 industry accolades, including six consecutive wins as the Country Music Association’s Vocal Group of the Year.

 

Exploring new sonic territory, REWIND chronicles the joys and complexities of life. Spearheaded by bassist Jay DeMarcus, Flatts co-produced more than half of the album with acclaimed producers Howard Benson and Dann Huff contributing to several of the 13 standard and four deluxe tracks.

 

“Music has changed so much in the last few years and in order to stay relevant you have to change with it, but we also had to be true to ourselves,” says DeMarcus.  “REWIND is a combination of staying with what people know and love, the familiar Flatts, but also bridging the musical gap into today’s Country music and pushing the envelope a little bit. There is a delicate balance and I think we’ve done a pretty good job. There are songs on the record where people are going to say, ‘That’s vintage Flatts! That’s what I fell in love with’ and a whole new generation of country music listeners are going to go, ‘Wow! I didn’t expect this from them!’”
