    They also have enough for a greatest hits part 2. But that's more of a record label thing so who knows if they'll ever happen 
    There are only 12 “singles” since the RVM comp dropped and “singles”only means “released to streaming ahead of the album” at this point as they don’t release physical singles or get meaningful radio airplay anymore. I’m not convinced a 12 song comp where Just Breathe is the highest profile song would be in demand. 
    Also Hits packages are cash-grabs and the only reason they did the first one was to get out of the Epic contract 1 album sooner.
    That's enough for a greatest hits. It doesn't have to be a double album like RVM was. And they can add an extra track or 2.

    Nobody is buying that. That's probably why they haven't done it.
    I would. Oh wait you already said Nobody 
    You know what, if you add Johnny Guitar to this track list....I'M FUCKING IN. 
    Or just fix the mistakes on Rearviewmirror and replace Black with Johnny Guitar.  What an oversight that was.

    Better yet, issue a new greatest hits record entirely of Johnny Guitar on repeat 20 times.

    The fact that you are using Ole & Can’t Deny Me to pad this thing tells you everything you need to know about why they don’t do it.
    Can't Deny Me was a hit. 
    Was it a hit?
    #11 on the mainstream rock chart.
    I don't know what that means. But I'm pretty sure 105 out of 100 in a survey would answer they have never heard of the song.

    Gripa efter halmstrån as we say in Sweden.

    I think an updated Greatest Hits or "Essentials" compilation with songs from 1991-202X  would make more sense (for regular folks), then try to Bob Dylan it by using Olé and SBWM.
    There are bands who only have 1 hit that have a greatest hits album

    Can’t deny me isnt a Hit by any stretch…. It’s a throwaway song …
    Just cause you don't like it doesn't mean it didn't chart

    It wouldn't be because it didn't chart and wasn't released as a single. Although nowadays with streaming any song can chart. So if more people listen to it for the first time and it starts to take off it can be.

    I know Johnny Guitar is not generally well-loved let’s say but i think it’s a much better song than either Can’t Deny Me or Ole

    Their only legitimate capital-H Hit since the RVM comp came out was Just Breathe. Other songs may have charted but nothing else has had real impact outside the fanbase. 
    But hey, maybe that’s gonna change next year.

    What are you talking about? I'm talking facts that you can check. People questioning don't know what they're talking about. I'm not giving a take or an opinion. Can't Deny Me charted on the mainstream rock chart. As I said that person's dislike of the song doesn't change that

    Only the day before to fanclub members. It got enough radio airplay to be a rock hit.

    Like I stated. I didn't just pick random songs that I like. These are songs that either charted on the Hot 100 or Rock/Alternative/AAA charts.  Am I saying they're Jeremy level? No. But they're hits nonetheless.

    And I'm talking U.S. charts

    And not every song on RVM is known outside the fanbase. Maybe 14 or 15 of the 33 songs

    I think what we’re all getting at is you use the term “hit” very loosely. Maybe you’re technically correct in that it “charted”. But, you’re either fairly new to this Pearl Jam thing, or you’re in the 1% of people who DIDN’T think CDM was a big fat turd.

    Think about it. They were likely planning to have it on Gigaton (or whatever Gigaton was at that point) and the fan reaction completely scrapped it. That’s a 1 of 1 in PJ history. It’s never happened. So, the song was pure trash and they realized it, went back to work, and gave us a pretty decent album instead. 

    Songs that are tested and later thrown in the trash don’t wind up on “greatest hits” (a terrible idea to begin with).

    Every band releases a Greatest Hits but who are the legends to release Divisive Deep Album Tracks Vol. 1
