Well, this would be a Pearl jam rarity... an album actually stopping its freefall and holding firm in the charts! If the 6.9% projected increase is right for Week 7, that would mean sales of around 13,000 this week for a grand tally of around 343,000. Maybe Backspacer can head back into the Top 40? I believe it was #43 this past week.

Starting with 11-16 Billboard 200 chart. They will now include back catalogs and reissues. So now the charts will actually reflect who's in the right position. Like when the Ten reissue was the 5th most sold in its opening week. But it wasn't in the Top 200.

So that's why I couldn't find it in the top 200 when it came out? It seems Billboard is having to change a lot of policies over the past year or so, maybe it's time they sat down and figured things out once and for all so bands can get the recognition they deserve when they deserve it.

Nominees for the Grammy's are going to be announce next month. I hope they get rock album and rock song at least. that could boost sales.

Baskspacer, the album, is ineligible as it was released after the cutoff for this year's show. The Fixer is eligible as it was released beforehand. Backspacer will be eligible for the Grammy show a year from this January. Just like Robert Plant/Alison Krauss where Gone, Gone, Gone was in the Grammy show 2 years ago, and Raising Sand, the album, was last year.

I think there will be a surge for the holiday season. May not be much of a surge but I think there will be a surge. There used to be a guy called UpHereSoHigh (I think that was his name) who had a soundscan feed associated with his job and he used to post monthly sales for all of PJ's release. He's moved jobs and doesn't have that stuff anymore but I remember all of the releases surging during the holiday season. I'm sure somebody will buy me a copy of Backspacer knowing I'm a PJ fan, not knowing I already have 2 copies.

The same thing happened with U2 two different times. In 2001, "Beautiful Day" won Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Rock Duo or Group with Vocal. In 2002, "All That You Can't Leave Behind" (released in October 2000) won Best Rock Album, "Walk On" won Record of the Year, "Elevation" won Best Rock Duo or Group Vocal, and "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" won Best Pop Duo or Group with Vocal.

In 2005, "Vertigo" won Best Rock Song and Best Rock Duo or Group with Vocal. In 2006, "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" (released in November 2004) won Album of the Year and Best Rock Album, "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" won Song of the Year and Best Rock Duo or Group with Vocal, and "City Of Blinding Lights" won Best Rock Song.

I'm a big U2 fan but how the hell did HTDAAB win album of the year? It had some really good songs on there but also its share of "filler" that I always skipped.

That album would have deserved to win if it were just "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" and 11 blank tracks.

I think it's a great album, but I'll grant you that it's not quite on the level of "All That You Can't Leave Behind."

Anyway, when "Vitalogy" lost out to Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill," I learned that the Grammys shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Maybe I was too harsh. I used to listen to that song over and over when the album came out. Also love origin of the species

My second-favorite after "Sometimes You Can't..." would be "Miracle Drug."

I'm having some serious nostalgic thoughts right now. That album came out during a great time of my life. I haven't listened to it in years but thinking about it reminds me of what was going on in my life in 05/06.

If the black friday thing is true, I just found the best stocking stuffers for XMAS.
I suggest we all do this. Buy a few copies to give as gifts.

You would really be a dedicated fan if you braved the insanity of Target on Black Friday just to spread the Jam. Wear a flak jacket.
