My favorite song on the album. I doubt there will be a video for it but Rob does look like he is doing some one-off shows this summer that will kind of keep his name out there through the summer. This song was the 4th single in Australia and it has really stablized Cradlesong album sales. It's number 32 this week and Mockingbird is 50 on the singles chart. I wish this had been the leadoff single in the US. www.ariacharts.com.au/pages/charts_display_album.asp?chart=1G50www.aumreport.com/amr100.html

Whooohooo! Was sitting getting my haircut tonight and Mockingbird came on the radio on Cleveland's Hot AC station. They were having a song challenge and Mockingbird was the defending champion. Had to whip out my phone to vote for Rob. Not sure if he won tonight though. He was up against Breaking Benjamin, so I would think so. But soooooo great to hear Mockingbird on the radio! Go Rob!

I saw Rob live a few months back for the first time. Loved him in concert, pretty sure this song will be another hit!

Excellent choice. Don't think I could have picked a better third single than this.
That said, it'll be interesting to see how this does. It seems his label was half-hearted about releasing a third single in the first place, so I'm worried this will snap Thomas' streak of seven consecutive Top Five hits (eight if you include "Smooth") just because of that.
On its own two legs otherwise, I don't see why this can't follow the success of all his other solo hits to date.
Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I don't know how much promo the label will put behind the single but Rob sure is doing a lot of radio shows. If you follow him on twitter, this is about the third week that he has been doing them. He's in Greenville, NC tonight. Some little article I read said that he is hitting a bunch of mid-market stations. Good way to keep good will with radio for as long as you can.

Interesting twitter reply from Rob today on how Mockingbird was choosen as the third single. I liked Rob's choice better. Someday did much better on radio (HotAC and Pop) than I thought it would but it didn't help the album nor did it sell that many downloads. Rob had a twitter a while back where he said something about the song just not connecting or something to that effect. I agree. Here's hoping that Mockingbird does a better job with connecting with people. @lanric02 i actually wanted it to be the 2nd single. compromised with my label to make SOMEDAY 2nd and MOCKINGBIRD 3rd.

My Hot AC station hasn't added this yet. It did play it during a song challenge and it lost on the second night to Breaking Benjamin. And this station doesn't even play Breaking Benjamin. Since I listen all day long I know for a fact that they play Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga and Lady Antebellum.....over and over and over. It's getting kind of ridiculous.

55 31 ROB THOMAS Mockingbird 536 154 382 +9.1 Awesome!! The fact they waited for "Someday" to dip below the Top Ten before releasing this, I think, is why this is surging this rapidly up the chart as a secondary single at this rate. The only thing I see stalling this single, and potentially breaking Thomas' Top Five single streak on Hot AC, is if the label only gets behind this half-heartedly. Which I think it would be downright ridiculous if they don't with gains like these, especially given he's just as relevant to the format as ever even with the considerable changes as of late. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

What are the sales for Cradlesong like? I'm guessing around 400k?

What are the sales for Cradlesong like? I'm guessing around 400k? That sounds accurate. Considering "cradlesong" sounds like an album Rob Thomas wanted to make for himself rather than an album chockablock with tailor-made hits, I don't consider the current sales great by any means, but not bad either. It'll get a Gold certification soon, and that will be good enough for me. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I was hoping for "Give Me The Meltdown", but this is also a really good choice. It's off to a very impressive start, already at #30 with a pretty big bullet. I think this is definitely the best single to come from the album so far.

^ Yeah, I was hoping Meltdown would be released, but I'm really happy with Mockingbird.
