"Wreckage" climbs on all four charts: Alternative Airplay (to No. 6), Mainstream Rock Airplay (to No. 5), Rock & Alternative Airplay (to No. 2) and Triple-A (to No. 3). On Canada Rock, it makes another big leap from No. 19 to No. 9.

, Pearl Jam’s 12th studio album. The set launched at No. 1 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking dated May 4 and has earned 102,000 equivalent album units to date.

Maybe a music video to give Wreckage that extra push that could maybe get it into the Hot 100 or something close to that. Maybe make it the song of the summer.

Song of the summer?! Ha!
Number one at Mainstream Rock is just about the ceiling in terms of audience this song can reach in 2024. Let's just appreciate that. Maybe it can pull off the trifecta with Alternative Rock and Triple-A to ice the cake.
By the way, for the people (not you) who said they chose the wrong songs as singles, both singles have now hit number one on the rock charts, so I'd say they picked the right ones.

As previously noted by igotid88, "Wreckage" follows "Dark Matter" in ascending to No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. It holds steady at No. 2 on Rock & Alternative Airplay and at No. 3 on Triple-A, and moves into the top five on the Canada Rock chart. Pearl Jam has two of the top ten songs on Canada Rock as "Dark Matter" hangs on at No. 10. I wonder if Canada counts Seattle acts as "Can-Con" since it's so close to the border.

"Wreckage" becomes Pearl Jam's second number one from Dark Matter on the Canada Rock chart. It also moves up to a new peak of No. 2 at U.S. Triple-A radio.
In other Pearl Jam-related chart news, Eddie Vedder's cover of the English Beat's "Save It for Later" moves from No. 47 to No. 34 in its second week on the Rock and Alternative Airplay chart. It is also No. 12 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart in its third week, down from No. 5 after debuting at No. 3 two weeks ago.
The funny thing is that, despite its great success at several radio formats, I still have yet to hear "Wreckage" on the radio in Los Angeles. (I heard it once on the radio when I was in Seattle for the shows.) But I have heard "Save It for Later" on the radio in L.A. once.

I've only heard Wreckage on radio twice (aside from PJ radio on XM). I heard it on Spectrum XM and I heard it at a restaurant in Vegas back in May. That may have been a Spotify playlist or something. Who knows?
I know WMMR in Philly played Dark Matter a ton and Wreckage as well, from viewing their "On Air" list. But I don't really listen to much terrestrial radio anymore.
"Darkness comes in waves, tell me, why invite it to stay?"
I know a lot of people want Waiting for Stevie as next single, but I think Won't Tell would have more mass appeal. Great hook, soaring chorus, U2 / Cure outro.

Excellent!
Hopefully some more PJ coming up on this season of The Bear!
After 19 weeks, "Dark Matter" is no longer on any U.S. chart. It is still in the top ten on Canada Rock.
"Wreckage" holds steady at Alternative and Triple-A and moves up to No. 3 at Mainstream Rock and No. 7 on Canada Rock.
