CMT's live series, CMT MOST WANTED LIVE, are teaming up with Lyric Street Records recording artists Rascal Flatts, Capitol Records hitmaker Chris Cagle, and Lyric Street Records newcomer Brian McComas. For the second consecutive year CMT personality Lance Smith will be on the road as host. Tour updates and information will be provided regularly on CMT MOST WANTED LIVE, telecast each Saturday at 7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT on CMT. The full tour schedule and tour news will also be available on CMT's Web site CMT.com. Select stops on the "CMT Most Wanted Live Tour" will feature CMT's newly designed promotional trucks. The new CMT trucks will feature a star-studded red carpet where fans can pose with their favorite life-size standup celebrity. At the end of the red carpet fans can pose for a free laminate featuring their face on the cover of Country Music Today magazine. The new walk-up tour, based out of a 53-foote promotional truck and trailer, will provide music fans with cutting-edge entertainment including games and a chance to win CMT prizes. Rascal Flatts features Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney. The Lyric Street group has become popular with CMT viewers through their six CMT videos - which range in high-energy fun to moving and sultry - including two that reached the top spot ("This Everyday Love" and "These Days"). Rascal Flatts has expanded its presence on CMT with two concert specials, RASCAL FLATTS: LIVE FROM THE SUNSET STRIP and RASCAL FLATTS: MELT ON THE BEACH. The trio's self-titled debut album, which contained the multi-media smash hit "I'm Movin' On," and sophomore project "Melt" have both reached platinum selling status, the latter debuting at No. 1 on the country album chart and No. 5 on Billboard's Top 100. "Melt" has delivered a three week No. 1 single, "These Days," which also won a CMT Flameworthy Award last spring as Group Video of the Year, a top five hit with "Love You Out Loud" and the fastest rising single of their career "I Melt." Chris Cagle has had five videos land on CMT with two reaching the No. 1 position ("Laredo" and "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out") on the CMT Top 20. Cagle won the CMT Flameworthy Breakthrough Video of the Year with his hit video "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out" which also was a No. 1 hit single from his debut album "Play It Loud." The first single, "What A Beautiful Day," from his self-titled sophomore album, "Chris Cagle," reached the Top 10 and has spent more than 32 weeks on the Billboard Country Music Chart. Lyric Street Records recording artist and rising star Brian McComas recently made his first appearance on CMT MOST WANTED LIVE to perform the hit single, "99.9% Sure (I've Never Been Here Before)," from his self-titled debut album, "Brian McComas." The single has spent more than 16 weeks on the chart and is vastly climbing. The video for his debut single is currently in heavy rotation on CMT and already in the top five and climbing on the CMT Top 20.
