Mad Season by Matchbox 20
Mad Season is an album by Matchbox 20, released in 2000. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Bent”, on 8 lists with a best position of #31.
Mad Season, Matchbox 20's second album, landed on Atlantic on May 23, 2000, with the Orlando band carrying the weight of a debut, Yourself or Someone Like You, that had gone diamond. Matt Serletic produced it, and Rob Thomas leads the five-man crew: Kyle Cook on lead guitar, Adam Gaynor on rhythm, Brian Yale on bass and Paul Doucette on drums, polishing their post-grunge heave into something broader and glossier.
"Bent" gave them their first and only chart-topper on the Hot 100. After that, Atlantic split the follow-ups by format, sending "If You're Gone" to pop radio and "Crutch" to rock stations on the same September day, and the title track and "Last Beautiful Girl" closed out the run in 2001. The album reached the top three of the Billboard 200 and went four times platinum.
