The trio became a duo in 2006, when they also released their second album, Enjoy the Ride. This album produced their first two #1 singles (in the U.S.), "Want To" and "Settlin'," and won the duo a Grammy for "Stay." In 2008 they released their third album, titled Love on the Inside.
This album produced three more #1 singles with "All I Want to Do," "Already Gone"and "It Happens." Their fourth album, The Incredible Machine was released on October 19, 2010 in both a standard and deluxe edition.

Now, you can sit and reach a kid in Sevierville, Tenn., like I used to be, that might not ever get to New York. They'll be able to see a show like that and have the excitement of it being live and happening right now."

Details regarding the settlement agreement were not disclosed.
