[edit] Singles
I strongly recommand the singles chart this way because album cut songs are not really singles. Also they were charted from unsolicited airplay.
I doubt if anyone will read this, so I change it first.

- A "Skin (Sarabeth)" had originally charted earlier in 2005 as "Skin", based on unsolicited airplay that brought it up to #38 on the Billboard country charts prior to the single's release.
- B "Life Is a Highway" was not released to country radio, but reached #18 on the country charts based on unsolicited airplay. It was released to all other formats on which it charted. The song is also available on later presses of Me and My Gang.
- C Current single.
[edit] Album Cut Singles
These songs were charted from unsolicited airplay on Billboard Hot Country Song Chart.
| Year | Song | US Country | Album |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | "Long Slow Beautiful Dance" | 73 | Rascal Flatts |
| 2005 | "Bless the Broken Road" (w/ Carrie Underwood) | 50 | Promotional single |
| "Oklahoma-Texas Line" | 53 | Feels Like Today | |
| "Skin"A | 38 | ||
| "Here's To You" | 48 | ||
| 2006 | "Pieces" | 57 | Me and My Gang |
| "Ellsworth" | 56 | ||

| "Life Is a Highway"B | 18 | Cars soundtrack | |
| 2007 | "Revolution" | 57 | Still Feels Good |
| "Still Feels Good" | 56 |
- A Later release as a single
- B Did not release to country radio
- I think that it should be left as is. With all the info in one chart, it not only saves on space, but also makes the chronological order more obvious (as all the album cuts are indeed in chronological order).

- It seems need more space, but it doesn't. The only thing that is added is the following part:
| Year | Song | US Country | Album |
|---|
The new chart will save a lot of space because this part
| "Long Slow Beautiful Dance"A | 73 | - | - | - | - |
becomes this:
| "Long Slow Beautiful Dance"A | 73 |
And it will also tell us that album cuts are not singles.Even now I don't know what album cuts are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by I7114080 (talk • contribs) 05:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- "Album cut" is a rather common term for non-single tracks on an album. Again, please don't change the material unless others think that your changes are acceptable. Many other artists list album cuts and official singles in the same table (see Kenny Chesney discography#Singles as an example); therefore, I see no problem with keeping the Rascal Flatts discography as is.

[edit] Merging
There doesn't seem to be sufficient information on the individual members' pages for each of them to warrant their own page. Since the main Rascal Flatts page is a stub, and since the members' pages are stubs, I propose that Jay DeMarcus, Gary LeVox and Joe Don Rooney be merged to this article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- There's really not enough information on the pages at this point, but I think there is enough information out there on each member, especially Levox, that would warrant an article on each. I wouldn't merge; just expand the other articles. The Equilibrium (talk) 23:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Discography
The removal of the minimal discography wasn't based on any discernible policy, so I reinstated it for the following reasons: (1) According to the MOS, simple discographies should be included on artist's pages; (2) A brief perusal of several featured articles of artists with much longer discographies show that simple discographies should be included (eg.: AC/DC, Mandy Moore, Kylie Minogue); (3) While I am completely open to any changes (ie - include all, not just number ones) I think that for your casual reader who just want to see what albums they have without detailed charts and extraneous information, the simple inclusion is preferable.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 21:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
