Its second through fifth studio albums—Wheels, Big Dreams in a Small Town, Fast Movin' Train, and Big Iron Horses—have all been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Restless Heart has also charted six number one singles on the Hot Country Songs chart: "That Rock Won't Roll", "I'll Still Be Loving You", "Why Does It Have to Be (Wrong or Right)", "Wheels", "The Bluest Eyes in Texas", and "A Tender Lie".
