Rascal Flatts switched labels and management companies but continued to post stellar numbers in 2011. Nothing Like This, the band's first album for Big Machine Records after a decade with now-defunct Lyric Street Records, was released Nov. 16, 2010, and sold 499,000 units and 1.8 million tracks in the following year. The album's second single, "I Won't Let Go," spent 22 weeks on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and peaked at No. 2. "Easy," featuring Natasha Bedingfield, peaked at No. 3 on Hot Country Songs after a 25-week stay. The Nothing Like This tour continued into 2011 and was followed in the summer by the Flatts Fest trek, with the back-to-back outings helping Rascal Flatts gross $21.8 million in ticket sales.

When Rascal Flatts' longtime label home, Lyric Street Records, closed its doors last year, the country trio made the move to Big Machine Records and released its latest album, "Nothing Like This," in November. The title sold 545,000 units during the last seven weeks of the year, enabling the group to generate total 2010 album sales of slightly more than 1 million. But the group earned most of its money on the road, grossing $29 million on its U.S. tour and netting about $9.8 million.

It's a safe bet that exposure through sponsorships from Hershey's and JCPenney helped Rascal Flatts sell tickets to its 2009 summer amphitheater tour. Overall, the trio pulled in $14.3 million from 55 concerts that were reported to Boxscore. Indeed, the total gross was enough to land Rascal Flatts at No. 22 on Billboard's 2009 tally of the top 25 highest-grossing tours. The band's 2009 album, "Unstoppable," was also a contributing factor to its success, with 1.1 million copies sold.

越赚越少 市场也越来越不景气

网络的发展和普及让文化创意产业需要找到新的发展模式，要不迟早变成无人问津的领域，对于欧美这种比较重视知识产权和原创并且有健全的法律体系保护的国家来说尚且不能阻挡，对于中国就更举步维艰了。看看原来在太和麦田的CEO宋柯都转行做餐饮就知道这行业多不好挣钱了。

中国的音乐产业要发展的话 先解决掉度娘吧 我记得07年流氓的数据是6000多万 现在第一名的数据都只有3000多了
转餐饮是很明智的做法 餐饮业永远不会落没 现在国内的经济形势奇差无比 浙江这里光温州去年就倒闭了几万家小企业
