    Not even. That's equivalent album units, i.e., sales plus streaming. Its actual sales are surely below 150,000, possibly well below 150,000. In its first week, it sold 57,000 units and had 6,000 equivalent units from streaming. You can extrapolate from there.
    If I had to guess. I would say 130k were physical 

    It's shocking. I believe 10 out of that 130k is from me. Various CD & Vinyl edition purchases. 
    I'm pretty sure I have you beat. I gave some away

    You beat me. I'm already at 10 on Dark Matter via pre orders (USA & UK) Excluding the RSD release and any Japan releases.

    Aren't you also responsible for 5,900 of the 6,000 streaming-equivalent units because you had it on repeat all week on your streaming accounts?
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Basically, if anything happens to igotid88, Pearl Jam might not even crack the top 100.

    And I thought I was exaggerating. That's like 50,000 spins. And about twelve dollars in revenue for the band based on the pittances Spotify pays!

    Happy Birthday Gigaton!

    Before Dark Matter was released, I listened to Gigaton more than anything else, by PJ or any other artist. At least half of it, on a daily basis.

    2020 was the worst year of my life. My relationship ended right as Gigaton came out, and a couple of months later, I lost my job, and was unemployed for almost a year. Combine those two things with COVID isolation, and the end result was me immersing myself in Gigaton even more than I normally would have.

    There are so many things in it that parallel what was going on in my life at the time that it's eerie.

    No Code is the record that, for me, changed PJ from a band that I really liked to something more, something greater and more meaningful.

    Gigaton is on a similar level. It will forever be associated with the worst year of my life, but it will also forever be associated with me continuing to dig out from where I was, getting back to higher ground.

    Seven O'clock and Retrograde were in my Top 15 PJ songs before DM. Might have to recalibrate, maybe bump 7OC.

    The production on GT is fantastic IMO. Sonically, the band sounds great. Watt could take a few pointers from Josh Evans, as DM's sound is brutal. Combine the music that Watt was able to get out of the band, w/Josh's production and we might have an all-time PJ record.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.
