RASCAL FLATTS WRAP FIRST LEG OF

“RASCAL FLATTS AMERICAN LIVING UNSTOPPABLE TOUR”

550,000 FANS ATTEND SHOWS SINCE JUNE 2009

BRINGS 4 YEAR TOTAL TO 4 MILLION TICKETS SOLD

NASHVILLE – (November 6, 2009) – RASCAL FLATTS, the top selling group in country music today, wrapped the first leg of the “Rascal Flatts American Living Unstoppable Tour” last weekend selling 550,000 tickets in 39 shows since it began in June. This total also includes the two sold-out stadium concerts at Chicago’s Wrigley Field and Columbus’ Crew Stadium. From January of this year, the band has sold over a million concert tickets, bringing their 4 year total to just over 4 million tickets sold.

Critics claimed their live shows were a huge success.  The Minneapolis Pioneer Press said, “the biggest band in country employed showers of sparks, a well-lit runway that ran the length of the arena’s main floor, and big screens bedecked with images of misty moors and words like “passion,” “faith” and “courage.”  And it all fit well with their songs, which assign weighty import to the events of everyday life through carpe diem lyrics, every chorus screamed out with vein-popping urgency.” “Rascal Flatts is a dominant country band for a reason. The songs are catchy and the musicianship is some of the best in ANY genre,” claimed the Cleveland Plain Dealer and The Dallas Morning News said, “The show is high-energy, flat-out from the get-go.”

Next up for Rascal Flatts are nominations for Group of the Year at the CMA Awards (November 11 on ABC) and Country Group of the Year and Country Album of the Year at the American Music Awards (November 22 on ABC).

Rascal Flatts newest CD Unstoppable has been certified platinum for sales in excess of 1 million.  The CD launched as the group’s fourth consecutive studio album opening at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, more than any other country artist in the history on Soundscan. This brings their career album sales to a staggering 20 million units in just this decade and the band has also amassed 22.5 million digital downloads.  Rascal Flatts are the largest selling and grossing group in country music history and named a Billboard Top Ten Touring Act in all genres with more venue attendance records than any other country act.
