The Six Million Album Men!
Seated on a massive stage in the echoing lobby of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the three members of Rascal Flatts announced the name of every producer, engineer and songwriter who contributed to their first three albums. Those albums have sold a combined total of more than 6 million copies, and it was this achievement that the crowd of 300 or so industry insiders came to celebrate Wednesday night (March 23) in downtown Nashville. Guests arriving at the party were handed laminated passes to wear around their necks that said "6 Million Reasons to Have a Party." Dozens of large, round tables topped with black cloths surrounded the stage in readiness for the dinner that would follow the awards presentations. Buffet tables with steaming trays of food stood at the back of the room, and bars (and their patrons) gurgled in strategic corners. Rascal Flatts videos played continuously on flat-panel TV screens arrayed prominently around the hall. Congrats guys!
