The suit was filed in Davidson County, Tenn. Chancery Court.
Turner Nichols sought 15 percent "of the defendants' gross entertainment income, excluding publishing, attributable to the efforts of Plaintiff and/or pursuant to agreements entered into during the term of the management agreement ...." Rascal Flatts had a touring agreement negotiated in 2009 that continues into 2013.

alan jackson - greatest hits award
Alan Jackson will perform and receive the first Greatest Hits Award during the AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS, airing live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Monday, Dec. 6 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.
The Greatest Hits Award is bestowed upon a country music artist whose chart-topping career has generated a vast catalog of number one hits that a greatest hits compilation is not only a necessary tribute to their fans but also recognition for their many contributions to the genre of country music.
"Alan Jackson is the consummate hit maker whose countless number of chart-topping songs can be heard every day on radio stations across the country," said Bob Bain, Executive Producer. "Jackson has written and performed many of country music’s most recognizable songs and it only seemed fitting that he receive the inaugural award."
Over the past 20 years, Alan Jackson has become one of the most successful and respected singer/songwriter in music. A 16-time award winner at both the CMA and ACM Awards, Jackson is also a GRAMMY-honored songwriter, with career sales of more than 50 million albums. His current album "34 Number Ones," is a career-spanning, double-disc collection featuring all of Jackson’s #1 hits to date, including the recent chart-topping smash, "As She’s Walking Away," by Zac Brown Band featuring Alan Jackson. "34 Number Ones" also contains Jackson’s newest single, "Ring of Fire," a fresh take on a Johnny Cash classic.
Hosted by Trace Adkins, AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS is the only country music awards show that gives fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite artists not only in traditional categories but also in previously unrecognized areas of the business such as touring, encompassing the entire spectrum of country music and bestowing honors that no other awards show has. The star-studded event will also feature previously announced performers Trace Adkins, Easton Corbin, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts, Reba, Blake Shelton, Steel Magnolia, Josh Turner and Uncle Kracker, as well as participants Laura Bell Bundy, Rodney Carrington, Jewel, Lady Antebellum, Bret Michaels, Ty Murray, Jeff Dunham, Michael Waltrip and Elliott Sadler.

Disney Music Group finalized arrangements today for the release of the forthcoming Rascal Flatts record Nothing Like This to be on Big Machine Records. The Rascal Flatts catalogue will remain with the Disney Music Group.
As Big Machine Records becomes the new musical home to Rascal Flatts, who are Country Music’s most awarded group of the millennium and an act at the pinnacle of their career, the final touches are being made on the group’s next album Nothing Like This, its seventh studio release.
Nothing Like This will be in stores on 16 November 2010 and was produced by Dann Huff and is the follow up to Unstoppable released in 2009. The lead-off single, “Why Wait,” was written by Neil Thrasher, Tom Shapiro and Jimmy Yeary, and is going out to Country radio immediately.
“We are extremely excited about our new partnership with Big Machine Records!,” says Jay DeMarcus, bassist and background vocalist for Rascal Flatts. “We believe that Scott Borchetta and all of the folks over there are a perfect fit for what Rascal Flatts is trying to accomplish over the next few years. The last 10 years have been amazing but we are even more excited about the next phase of our career; Scott understands us, he knows what we're about and it's always a wonderful thing to have someone who believes in you and your music that much in your corner.”
