Rhapsody <3 Rob Thomas

2009-06-11T23:22:32Z

Few figures in the last decade of pop music have captured the audience of Rob Thomas, whose band, Matchbox Twenty, tore the charts to shreds in the late '90s, selling some 45 million records (one record for every man, woman and child in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Florida, South Carolina and American Samoa!). As if that wasn't enough, Thomas' solo career, which began with ...Something To Be in 2005, continued to pile on the platinum. No kidding: dude is a big deal, which means it's a really big deal that Rhapsody's teaming up with VH1's The Leak to offer a two-week exclusive premiere of Rob's new rekkid, Cadlesong. Ya-huh, you read that right: for two weeks, starting Tuesday, June 16, you'll be able to hear Cradlesong right here.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're rolling out a whole lot of goodies. For starters, we recently sojourned to L.A. and talked to Rob for our On The Record series. Watch that here. He's so charming. Plus, this week, we're pulling the big, red silk curtain off a Rhapsody commercial featuring Rob (kinda like the one we did for Green Day), and we're going to be doing a contest via the Rhapsody Twitter feed, where we're going to give away some cool gadgets and signed posters (more on that tomorrow). We're also going to be selling Matchbox Twenty LPs mad cheap in our MP3 store, and rolling out new exclusive videos of Rob, as well as playlists and radio stations and who knows what else. Exciting? We think so. Stay tuned to the blog and twitter for the latest.
