Idol Alum Pens Chart-Topper for Rascal Flatts

Simon Cowell may have dismissed American Idol season six finalist Chris Sligh with a terse, "bye-bye curly," when the mop-top crooner was voted off the show, but Sligh has managed to get the last word on farewells.
The singer, who moved to Nashville after Idol in 2007, just scored his first songwriting No. 1 with Rascal Flatts's "Here Comes Goodbye." The tune, which Sligh wrote last year with friend Clint Lagerberg, is the first single from the group's new album and just topped the country charts last week.
"I don't think I realize yet how big this is," Sligh says of writing a hit for the country supergroup. "I have people telling me how much money I'm gonna make and how it's going to open up career possibilities, but I'm just sitting here trying to figure out what all this means."

It's a good day for Kenny Chesney, who received seven Country Music Association award nominations Tuesday, but it was newcomer Taylor Swift who had the best and most immediate reaction.
"I'm having a really good day," said an otherwise speechless Swift, 18, who forgot she still had one more category to announce. "This is awesome."
She is up for female vocalist of the year against veterans, Alison Krauss, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood.
