Rascal Flatts was an American country music band founded in 1999. The band has released ten studio albums and more than forty singles, sixteen of which have reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs. Their longest-lasting number-one single, a cover of Marcus Hummon's "Bless the Broken Road", spent five weeks in that position in 2005. Through 2006 to 2007, "What Hurts the Most" was number one on both the Hot Country Songs and Adult Contemporary charts, and their highest peak on the Billboard Hot 100 at number six. The band also had commercial success with a cover of Tom Cochrane's "Life Is a Highway", which they recorded for the soundtrack of the Pixar animated movie Cars. On January 7th, 2020, Rascal Flatts announced that they would be disbanding following a farewell tour after 22 years together. However, this farewell tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the group's disbandment was not officially confirmed until October 2021.
