No format listed by Billboard, but this goes out the week of April 19.
I recall he had other solo stuff a few years back, but I don't remember hearing any of it or seeing it chart, except maybe on Heritage Rock. I'm guessing this will have the Matchbox 20 sound, if not a little softer.

Ah, that would explain why I haven't heard it yet on my stations. But I'm sure some will dabble in it.

Rob Thomas' solo material leans a bit more pop and urban, but I don't really think it's that far removed from Matchbox Twenty in any case.

I remember hearing this in a Rate the Music survey where they wouldn't tell you who the artist was (along with another new song of his). It was unmistakably Rob or MB20, obviously. Wikipedia confirmed the songs as Rob solo stuff.
It wasn't all that strong, but then again, his/their singles usually have to sink in with me before I like them.

This is completely irrelevant to the point of this thread (especially since I've heard the songs and know that they are Thomas as well), but how can you say that Wikipedia "confirms" anything? Not long ago I went to the Alter Bridge Wikipedia article and saw where someone had written "alter bridge is gay" next to their singles table. It doesn't strike me as a reliable source.

Not long ago I went to the Alter Bridge Wikipedia article and saw where someone had written "alter bridge is gay" next to their singles table. It doesn't strike me as a reliable source. It's true. And it's not. But I personally think Wikipedia is better than nothing on most occasions and usually Wikipedia requests that all information posted has a source, and almost usually it does, even if the source itself is also unreliable. Besides, "Alter Bridge is gay" is an obvious defacement. Someone claiming certain songs on an RTM survey are Rob Thomas songs is more likely to be a statement rooted in fact. I've seen a lot of rumors floating on Wikipedia but more often than not it came from somewhere. BTW, I realize this was Nick's question to answer but I felt like I should stick up for Wiki because I use it all the time myself. |

And it wasn't even Wikipedia mentioning anything about Rate the Music. But Matchbox Twenty's page had no mention of new music and Rob's page, if I recall, had considerably more information than just the apparent titles of 2 songs I had just listened to on RTM.
