Rascal Flatts is the debut studio album by American country music group Rascal Flatts, released on June 6, 2000 on Lyric Street Records. It sold 2,303,000 in the United States up to May 2009, and has been certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA.
The album produced four singles on the Billboard country charts in “Prayin’ for Daylight”, “This Everyday Love”, “While You Loved Me” and “I’m Movin’ On”, all of which charted in the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. “Long Slow Beautiful Dance” (which featured them all on lead vocals) also charted in the lower regions of the charts based on unsolicited airplay. It is the only album of the band’s career not to feature a number one single or to feature any songs produced by the band. While the band’s contemporaries, such as Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney, started with a neotraditional country sound, the band had a crossover-friendly country pop sound from the very beginning.
