...Something to Be is the debut solo album from the Matchbox Twenty lead singer Rob Thomas. The album was released in 2005, and it debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart, knocking out Mariah Carey's The Emancipation of Mimi. This marked the first time that a male artist from a rock or pop group has debuted at number one with their first solo album since Billboard introduced the chart fifty years ago.
The album spawned the U.S. top ten hit "Lonely No More". It also features John Mayer's guitar on the single "Streetcorner Symphony". The album was released in the DualDisc format, the first major album to be released that way. The album itself has sold 1.4 million copies in the U.S. and consists of several types of sounds, including dance, pop, Latin, rock and roll, and country, although it can be generally classified as closer to pop than to the rock music of Matchbox Twenty's most recent studio album, More Than You Think You Are.
