Real World

"Real World" is a song by American alternative rock group Matchbox 20. It was released in June 1998 as the fourth single from their debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You. The single was initially ineligible to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100 due to not receiving a physical release; it instead peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart in August 1998.[2] However, in December 1998, the Hot 100 chart rules were changed to allow airplay-only singles to chart, and "Real World" became the band's first single to enter the listing, debuting and peaking at number 38.[3] Worldwide, "Real World" reached number five in Canada and number 40 in Australia.
