Just Breathe climbing the ITunes charts

Okay, so I checked this morning and noted that Just Breathe has climbed to #14 on the ITunes rock charts, with two versions of The Fixer at #10 and #11. My question is: WHY is Just Breathe charting so high? I am not doubting that it deserves it, it's a wonderful song, but I'm wonder what has happened to raise awareness about this tune? Was it featured on television in some way I am not aware of?
If it keeps climbing like this, PJ may need to take notice and realize it might be the next single.

My impression was that that was a one-time airing of side A of the album. I am not sure that can account for this.
Got Some or Amongst the Waves will be the next single (if any) though.
6/30/98 Minneapolis, 10/8/00 East Troy (Brrrr!), 6/16/03 St. Paul, 6/27/06 St. Paul
Yeah. Could happen. I know a few stations have added it. With the way things go "viral" nowadays, maybe it will spread?
I know this is a taboo term in the Pearl Jam fanbase, but I could see this being a "crossover" hit.
However, I think it's more likely that PJ will release just one more single and it will be moderately successful, though not as successful as The Fixer. That seems to be the well-established pattern with their post-Vitalogy releases. I'd love to be proven wrong on this, though.
edit: nevermind
I thought you wrote "bad" and was about to rip you a new one!!!

I heard Last Kiss this morning on my drive into work and I'm thinking to myself, hmm what was it about this song that made it such a huge hit... It's just such a simple tune and it isn't even PJ's song it's a cover. Then I just contemplated "hmm maybe it is because you can clearly hear every word that Eddie sings in this song" because that just isn't the case with most of the PJ songs and the same applies to "just breath" so with that correlation, I could see this one being as big as "Last Kiss", cuz it's a better song...
well, it's that and the subject matter of last kiss - people love a sappy love song that tells a story like that. people of all ages and demographics can "get it". same with just breathe, but yes, just breathe is way better
So with that said, THIS IS THE NEW BLACK! its an amazing song.
Just Breath doesn't seem a sad song to me... actually the opposite...
Ed is embracing his own mortality rather than fearing it... :P
...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
And Backspacer is the #1 album.
Yeah. i think the band may really have something here. I wonder if they have someone looking at this kind of stuff for them?
I can't remember any non-singles from s/t behaving this way after release.
