Them lil' Rascals


Rascal Flatts’ Still Feels Good sold 547,000 copies during its first seven days in stores, the largest opening week for a country album so far this year.

The album became the group’s third in a row to debut atop the Billboard Top 200 all-genre chart. More than 44,000 units of Still Feels Good were sold digitally, making it the biggest-ever country debut in that format.

In other Flatts news, the group has donated $829,581 in proceeds from their Sept. 28 Nashville concert to the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. It’s the third year in a row the group has given the earnings from its hometown arena show to the hospital.
