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 charts: "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."
