Currently #5 on Billboard and R&R. Looks like it's finished though because its bullet is gone on Mediabase.

It's currently #5 on the country charts.
Their "Melt" album has already had two top five singles including "These Days", which IMO is the best country song to come out in the past couple years.
I am not a huge country fan, but I do enjoy it in doses. Rascal Flatts is a pop enough sounding group, that many non-country fans would like their stuff. I'm shocked they never relased anything to AC or Hot AC. "I'm Movin On" and "These Days" have crossover potential.

I like Rascal Flatts, but they aren't that special. I liked "These Days" and several of the songs from their debut, but they are over-produced and their lead singer annoys me.

that is too bad to hear that they have losed their bullet. but hopefully they can get higher on the billboard charts. i have only heard two songs from RF. i'm movin on and i melt. and i definitely prefer i melt.

"I Melt" was my least favorite single off the album by them. It also had a very tame music video; I didn't get the controversy.
I love the current one "Mayberry"! Possibly my favorite single off the album by them; I love the 'cherry coke' line! :)
