That’s now 43 consecutive weeks of new PJ songs on the charts. 

Dark Matter single was released on 2/14/24. 300 days have elapsed since then, which equates to 43 weeks.

That’s a hell of a run for the three singles! 

Won’t Tell should be the 4th after the holidays. I still think it has crossover appeal.

More specifically, "Dark Matter" debuted on charts dated February 24, 2024, and songs from Dark Matter have remained on various charts through this week's, dated December 14, 2024.

"Waiting for Stevie" holds at No. 13 for a third straight week in its fifteenth week on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart and holds at No. 14 for a third non-consecutive week in its twelfth week on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. Both positions are peaks. The song also falls off the 25-song Hot Hard Rock Songs chart after re-entering at No. 11 last week on the strength of sales of the Record Store Day single.

Wreckage still siting strong at #9 on Canada Rock.

That's only because they stopped running that chart several weeks ago when it was at No. 9.

I've heard the local radio stations play Wreckage many times on air. But I have yet to hear Waiting For Stevie.

Wonder if it was played on a show there or something

"Waiting for Stevie" holds at its peak of No. 12 in its seventeenth week on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart and rebounds from No. 15 to a new peak of No. 13 in its fourteenth week on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. In addition, the song re-enters the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart for a third time at No. 24. (It previously spent single weeks on that chart when Dark Matter was released, at No. 13, and when the RSD single was released, at No. 11.)

I've heard WFS a few times now on WMMR Philly. They play the whole version, no radio edit. Even the "be mighty, be humble" little outro, which I love.

Philadelphia? Home of Pearl Jam (tm)?

WMMR is the best! Too bad they can't play the whole song out here on air waves.

"Waiting for Stevie" holds at its peak of No. 12 for a third straight frame in its eighteenth week on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart and moves up from No. 13 to a new peak of No. 12 in its fifteenth week on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. The song also moves up from No. 24 to No. 20 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. (It previously peaked at No. 11 on that chart when the RSD-exclusive single was released.)

I hope it gets nominated for next year's Grammys. Also hope when the AMAs comes back some of these songs that were released are on there. I doubt it because the streams might hurt them. But hopefully radio play gives then the advantage

I hope it does too.

WFS currently up to No. 8 on Active Rock Charts.  Like I mentioned weeks ago,  this song had the potential to be a slow burner with more sustained demand, which has proven to be the case.

Indeed! I would LOVE to see Pearl Jam on TV play Waiting For Stevie.

"Waiting for Stevie" moves up from No. 11 to a new peak of No. 8 in its twentieth week on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The song also holds at No. 13 in its seventeenth week on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, after previously peaking at No. 12, and holds at No. 20 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, after previously peaking at No. 11 on that chart when the RSD-exclusive single was released.

The song's ascent on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart pretty much defines the phrase "slow and steady." Despite never having moved up more than four spots in any given week, it has managed to climb from No. 33 to No. 8 on the 40-position chart over a span of 20 weeks. Its chart run, as spelled out in the original post, has been 33-31-27-23-22-22-21-17-16-16-15-16-13-13-13-12-12-12-11-8.

Now before we congratulate the rock audience on its good taste, here's a cautionary note: Scott Stapp's "Black Butterfly" is No. 5 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.
