Jessica Simpson & Rascal Flatts
Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney have scaled unbelievable heights in the eight years since their debut, and yet with the release of Still Feels Good, they find their fortunes still rising. For proof, they need to look no further than the CD's first #1 single, "Take Me There," their fastest-rising ever.
Song by song, concert by concert, they continue to add to their stature. They were, for starters, the top-selling artist of 2006 - in all genres of music. They scanned five million units, meaning that 1 of every 14 country CDs sold that year was a Rascal Flatts record. Their last CD, Me And My Gang, sold more than 721,000 copies in its first week, leading the band to become the top-selling artist in all of music, the first time in 15 years a country artist achieved that milestone. Their 2006 tour played to over 1 million fans in 74 cities. They broke venue attendance records throughout the tour.
