Music Row Toasts CHRIS SLIGH for Rascal Flatts’ 10th Chart-Topper ‘Here Comes Goodbye’
An enthusiastic crowd invaded Cabana on Tuesday, June 2 to celebrate Rascal Flatts’ chart-topper, “Here Comes Goodbye.” Co-written by Chris Sligh and Clint Lagerberg, the song helped make the trio’s latest album, Unstoppable, the top-selling album in the country, with more than 350,000 copies sold in the first week alone.
Produced by Dann Huff, “Here Comes Goodbye” is the first no. 1 for both Sligh and Lagerberg, who were also nominated for a GMA Dove Award for Song of the Year this year with Sligh’s hit single “Empty Me.” Sligh first turned heads as a contestant in the sixth season of American Idol, and then became one of the best-selling new artists in the industry, also recently being nominated for a Dove Award for New Artist of the Year.
